Arthur's heart was stirred by this appeal. "You are right," he replied. "Come, Frederic, no more of this!" "Are you talking to me?" hiccoughed Frederic. "Take her from me if you dare!"
The parson then hiccoughed a song for which he should have been put in the stocks, after which Mr. Wicks, with three empty bottles and three knives to stand for the gallows, gave us a vivid account of the turning-off of the famous Captain Suck Ensor, who kicked and twitched for ten minutes before his own claimed him.

You won't see me this way no more." Here he hiccoughed, and then laughed, but remembering himself instantly, drew his forehead into a scowl.
Suddenly she passed from a violent fit of writhing and of weeping into blank and motionless collapses. From time to time she hiccoughed helplessly.
