"Good Lord, Saidie, the things you do recollect!" exclaimed Fletcher, who, beneath the agonised eyes of Maria, was drinking his coffee from his saucer in great spluttering gulps.
His frightful wheezes and choking gulps attracted the lawyer's attention to him, and the gun was suddenly leveled at his breast. "Stand back there, Crabbe!" ordered Everett. "You have nothing to do with this." But, as the lawyer spoke, Lem sprang forward with the fierceness of a wild beast.
"They've runned away," cried Vada, peering into the box. "Me don't like 'piders," murmured Jamie definitely. Vada's great brown eyes filled with tears. Fresh rivulets began to run down the muddy channels on her downy cheeks. Her disappointment found vent in great sobbing gulps. Jamie stared at her in silent speculation. Then one little fat hand reached out and pushed her.
"Drink some of this," ordered Eph, holding a pint cup of coffee toward the young skipper. Jack finished it all in a few gulps. Then, as his blood warmed, he began to smile over his late adventure. Supported on the arm of the ship's doctor, Elsie Carruthers turned to ask: "Where is the midshipman who first reached me the the one I so nearly drowned.
"I don't want to be delayed, that's all. If he'll go, I'll stay by him." The boys nudged elbows while Mose threw the saddle on the cringing brute and cinched it till the pinto, full of suffering, drew great, quiet gulps of breath and groaned.

She cannot finish her sentences for her gulps, for he is tamping down in her insides the reluctant angleworms that do not want to die, two or three writhing in his bill at once, until he looks like Jove's eagle with its mouth full of thunderbolts. And all the time he is chip-chipping and flirting his tail, and saying: "How's that? All right? Hey? Here's another. How's that? All right? Hey?

In the moonlight Reimers saw how his friend drank the clear water with eager gulps, filled the glass again, and again emptied it. Then they went towards the shed in which the bicycles had been stored. "That was delicious water," said Güntz, with a sigh of satisfaction. "The strength of the forest and of the earth!" The shed was badly lighted by a miserable oil lamp.
It must be every man's ambition to own big money to breathe it in himself with full-lunged, lustful, intoxicating gulps, and to dole it out as master to dependents pleading for their ration of life. That was the meaning of power: to give or withhold the essentials of life at one's pleasure.
Promptly the contents of the horn mug were flung with a splash into the open fireplace at La Mothe's back. "Just what I was at your age! The same to a hair! A gay companion generous of heart and purse. Yes," he went on, half seating himself on the table-edge and sucking down the wine with slow appreciative gulps, "'63; I knew I could not be mistaken, though it is four years since I tasted it last.
