Then Montgomery hiccoughed, "Who said he was dead?" The Monkey-man looked guiltily at the hairy-grey Thing. "He is dead," said this monster. "They saw." There was nothing threatening about this detachment, at any rate. They seemed awestricken and puzzled. "Where is he?" said Montgomery. "Beyond," and the grey creature pointed. "Is there a Law now?" asked the Monkey-man.
"Go away," she said, struggling to keep her presence of mind. He hiccoughed. "Let's let's look at it," he said, hiccoughing again. "Go away!" she cried. "Lemme lemme look at it, lass." She smelled him of drink, felt the unequal pull of his swaying grasp on the back of her rocking-chair. "Go away," she said, and weakly she pushed him off. He stood, uncertain in balance, gazing upon her.
Compared with these sterile, bald, and mechanical quatrains, the sacred hymns of Isaac Watts are howling and bacchanalian anacreontics, to be hiccoughed by drunkards in their most abandoned hours of revelry.
Small things sidled out of dark hiding-places, and danced grotesque drunken figures on the floor, like goblins in a haunted glade. The mast whined dolorously at every heel, and the centre-board hiccoughed and choked. Overhead another horde of demons seemed to have been let loose.
Involuntarily she recoiled, but, in a stride, he was beside her and placed one arm round her waist. Kissing her, he hiccoughed: "Hello, honey!" With maudlin admiration he exclaimed: "My, but you look sweet to-night!" Disgusted, nauseated, Virginia turned her head away from his tainted breath, and tried to disengage herself. But he held her as in a vice.
On their way home they called at a greengrocer's where Owen had ordered and paid for a small Christmas tree a few weeks before; and as they were turning the corner of the street where they lived they met Crass, half-drunk, with a fine fat goose slung over his shoulder by its neck. He greeted Owen jovially and held up the bird for their inspection. 'Not a bad tanner's-worth, eh? he hiccoughed.
"Please," pleaded Mary, "please, I found it. It is mine. I think it is only a doll." "A doll! Huh! Who needs a doll?" hiccoughed her uncle. "We want something more to drink. We'll sell it " A bellow of laughter resounded through the room. The paper being torn roughly away, poor Miranda stood revealed in all her faded beauty.
I please don't send us to bed! I'm awful sorry! Allee isn't to blame! She tried to make me leave it alone, didn't you, Babe?" "Yes," hiccoughed the equally penitent, but loyal young sinner, "and then I helped dig up the rivers and pile on the mountains!" Gail's face relaxed a little; a great tenderness for these little orphan sisters swept through her heart, and she felt herself relenting.
The strain, the relief, were all too great for even such nerves as Cleek's, and if he had not laughed aloud, he knew that he must have cheered. "Oho! you grin because one's fingers blunder with eagerness," hiccoughed Margot, thinking his laughter was for the trouble she had in getting the fastenings of her bodice undone.
"Here's the key," said the major; "let's have her in." "Place aux dames," hiccoughed a cornet. The colonel rose, but it was too late. Wynne, seizing the key, unlocked the door and threw it wide open, as my mother, followed by Jack Warder, entered the room, and stood still a moment, dazed.
