Seems dooced small unless it's my eyes, George ha ha!" So he blundered in and heavily up the stair, and after knocking thunderously, entered. At sight of my uncle Jervas, he halted, drew himself very erect and bowed profoundly and with a flourish, and when he spoke his speech was so thick that I dreaded lest he hiccough: "Your servant, S' Jervas! Hope I see y' well, sir?"
"'Come home, said Tim, with a hiccough that set the whole table in a roar. "'Leave the room this instant, said I, feeling wrath at being thus made a butt of for his offences. 'Leave the room, or I'll kick you out of it. Now, this, let me add in a parenthesis, was somewhat of a boast, for Tim was six feet three, and strong in proportion, and when in liquor, fearless as a tiger.
He had wept himself out, and his sobs had fallen to a dry hiccough. A forlorn little chap, tired and sleepy, he picked his way among the mesquite, following the path along the dry creek bed. The catclaw tore his stockings and scratched him. Stone bruises hurt his tender feet. He kept traveling, because he was afraid to give up. He reached the junction of the gulch and the cañon.
Sir W. H. Stisted accompanied him to Granton, whence, with new hopes and aspirations, he set sail. Spectacularly, Iceland Ultima Thule as he calls it was a disappointment to him. "The giddy, rapid rivers," were narrow brooks, Hecla seemed but "half the height of Hermon," the Great Geyser was invisible until you were almost on the top of it. Its voice of thunder was a mere hiccough.
It was considerably past one o'clock when Peter bid his companions goodbye, with a sigh and a hiccough, and lighting his pipe set forth on his solitary homeward way.

"Well?" she said. In answer to this, all that Gussie could produce was a sort of strangled hiccough. "Well?" Aunt Dahlia's face grew darker.
I should reproach myself with having neglected to give them bread for one single day, if I could really help it." Moliere had a bad voice, a disagreeable hiccough, and harsh inflexions.
Meanwhile it had grown unbearably hot, the sparkling river looked like a blaze of fire, and the fumes of the wine were getting into their heads. Monsieur Dufour, who had a violent hiccough, had unbuttoned his waistcoat, and the top of his trousers, while his wife, who felt choking, was gradually unfastening her dress.
His chivalry was of the moist kind, and his emotion made him hiccough several times. Margaret winced: "I am entitled to go in," she said boldly, "and I will thank you to let me pass," with which she picked up her valise. "Not by no means," the guard rejoined. "I've got orders not to let no one in without a letter from the officer."
And then he woke again to his detested fate, and found himself sitting, humped together, in a windy combe of quarry-refuse darkness thick about him, thin flakes of snow lying here and there like rags of paper, and the strong shuddering of his body clashing his teeth like a hiccough.
