Barrett is accredited with reporting a case of persistent hiccough in a man of thirty-five. Rowland speaks of a man of thirty-five who hiccoughed for twelve years. The paroxysms were almost constant, and occurred once or twice a minute during the hours when the man was not sleeping. There was no noise with the cough.
"He's a neighbor of ours the third room in the passage before us. He would find himself in a nice mess if his people were to see him like this!" Old Bazouge, however, felt offended at the young woman's evident terror. "Well, what!" hiccoughed he, "we ain't going to eat any one. I'm as good as another any day, my little woman. No doubt I've had a drop!
Lavender saw a small man like Beethoven frowning from behind spectacles "could we run this German prisoner stunt alongside the British, or d'you think it would kill it?" Mr. Lavender almost rose from his chair in surprise. "Are you " he said; "is it " The small man hiccoughed, and said in a raw voice: "The letters are falling off."
But "Whisky Jim" straightened himself up, and hiccoughed, and stammered "By thunder!" and added some words which, being Saxon, I will not print.
Julian's pulses throbbed and hammered as he looked upon the street, and he seemed to see all the passers-by with eyes from which scales had fallen. If to die should be nothing to the wise man, to live should be much. Underneath, two drunken men passed, embracing each other by the shoulders. They sang in, snatches and hiccoughed protestations of eternal friendship.
I got you out of Flint's." "You did me a service without intending it." "You're a good fellow," hiccoughed John. "I'm sorry I treated you so mean." "I'm not, since it led to my securing my present place. But we must turn down here." "Where do you live?" "On Madison Avenue." "Madison Avenue? You must be a swell." Andy smiled. "If you work hard you may become a swell, too."
They seemed to share a prime joke that wanted to bubble up and over, yet held a restraint upon themselves that was eased by digs in one another's ribs, in laughs when one stumbled or hiccoughed. But Hansen was stolid as ever, and the hunters had evidently not shared the stolen liquor. Only Deming's eyes roved over the group of men as they gathered round for their cups and pannikins of food.
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.
As he spoke, a familiar figure came shambling around the corner. It was Sammy Simpson. "Hello, you!" he cried, on catching sight of me. "I want those papers back." "Why do you want them back?" I asked. "You didn't pay the value of 'em, didn't pay enough," he hiccoughed. "I paid all I agreed to." "Can't say anything about that. But 'tain't enough." He glared at me.
Determinedly he added: "I want that wine and I'm going to have it." "Then say good-night," she replied with what self-possession she could command, "and take it in your own room." He looked at her stupidly. "Drink alone?" he hiccoughed. "And you right here? Well, I guess not " He was standing at the door and as he spoke his hand happened to touch the key. Suddenly an idea occurred to him.
