"Here comes some of the folks, now," muttered Roke, as running figures began to appear from three sides. "We'd be safer to " His warning ended in a gurgle of dismay. From three points the twenty-five or thirty new arrivals continued to run forward. But, at a word from some one in front of them, they changed their direction, and wheeled in triple column, almost with the precision of soldiers.
Out upon the broad river the current swept past with its constant gurgle and swish, ever heading into the mysterious Southland, which our boys yearned to reach. Maurice was doing some sort of writing at the table, by the light of the only lantern they possessed, and which did not afford any too generous a light.
Then, as he looked, it seemed to him that in one great leap from his recumbent position on the bed, Crispin had fallen upon the soldier. The lanthorn was dashed from the fellow's hand, and rolled to Kenneth's feet. The fellow had begun' a cry, which broke off suddenly into a gurgle as Galliard's fingers closed about his windpipe.
"Will you, you little devil!" cried the bully; and taking him by the throat, so that he could not utter even a gurgle, got up and began to beat him unmercifully. But the sounds of their conflict had reached the ears of the bull Nimrod, who was feeding within the hedge.
This pipe emptied its contents with a low gurgle into a shallow, oblong receptacle sunk in the floor, and was wide and deep enough for two stone crocks of ample size to stand abreast up to their rims in the water. The cream was skimmed into these stone jars until they were full, then Holcroft emptied them into the churn.
But the height of the shoulder proved that it was not the burly innkeeper. There was an oath, a quick movement, and Dickson went down with a knee on his chest and two hands at his throat. "Heritage," he gasped. "Help!" There was a sound of furniture scraped violently on the floor. A gurgle from Dickson served as a guide, and the Poet suddenly cascaded over the combatants.
My eyes and mouth were full of dust; I was on my back with three or four fellows sitting on me. I could hear Jim-Eng trying to shout not very far from me. Now and then they would throttle him and he would gurgle. I could hardly breathe myself with two heavy fellows on my chest. Willems came up running and ordered them to raise me up, but to keep good hold. They led me into the verandah.
And then, all in one breath, her little pouted chin went up and she burst into a low gurgle of utter enjoyment of the tableau. "Well," she demanded, "aren't you ever going to say anything? Here I am! I I decided to move today there really wasn't any use of waiting. Aren't you surprised just a little?"
"Come down," he threatened, "or I'll drag you down!" He pulled on the rope to show he was in earnest. "Don't you dare!" Gus articulated through his clenched teeth. "Sure, I will, if you don't come!" Again he jerked the rope. With a despairing gurgle Gus started, doing his best to work sideways from the plunge.
Why, sir, much of the pleasure of drinking and smoking and eating as a gentleman understands these pleasures is in their peaceful contemplation before the act! Otherwise, we are swine, and degrade our nutriment by coarse handling! What respect can we have for self, sir, if we choke and gurgle, and contemptuously treat those things we put into our bodies! I shall have no more of it, sir!"
