What have you done " Cobo ran on unheeding: "It must be a great treasure, indeed, from all accounts the ransom of a dozen kings. That's what Cueto said, 'The ransom of a dozen kings! Those were his very words."
Jean-Christophe made no effort to break loose; he was frozen with horror. Stifled against his father's bosom, feeling his breath hiccoughing and smelling of wine upon his face, wet with his kisses and repulsive tears, he was in an agony of fear and disgust. He would have screamed, but no sound would come from his lips.
I know that I cried out, hiccoughing. Assaulted by the horrible kiss and by the vile clasp that bruised the hand I had offered to the woman's beauty a hand still outheld sunk in whirling smoke and ashes and the dreadful noise now majestically ebbing, I found my way out of the place, between walls that reeled as I did. Bodily, the house collapsed behind me.
A pom-pom of ours is now popping away just ahead, and there is a good deal of rifle-fire. We and the convoy were at once moved to a position close under a kopje between us and the enemy. Shells are coming over pretty fast, but I don't see how they can reach us here. A most curious one has just come sailing very slowly overhead, and growling and hiccoughing in the strangest way.
Arlington, swallowing the remains of his glass in a single gulp, spoilt a dignified exit by violently hiccoughing, and Mrs. Arlington rang the bell furiously for the parlourmaid to clear away.

"But out there all round the lighthouse there are eddies twisting and twisting, without any noise, and extraordinary quick, and every other second, now here, now there, you'll notice the sea dimple, and you'll hear a sound like a man hiccoughing, and all at once, there's a wicked black whirlpool. The tide runs seven miles an hour past the Bishop. But in another year I have done with her."

She had forced the end of her kerchief against her lips to stifle the sound, but ineffectually.
Tiralla fell on the other's neck, kissed him and stammered in a hiccoughing voice, while he stroked his cheek, "If I I ha hadn't you God bless you it would b be all up with me." Böhnke left the room filled with a strange emotion. He was not so drunk as Mr. Tiralla he could still collect his thoughts, if he took the trouble to do so and he was thinking of the man who loved him as a friend and son.
Stanford was not quite steady on his legs, and lurched as he walked, as if his wife's sitting-room had been the deck of a storm-tossed vessel. "I s'pose she's gone to bed," muttered Mr. Stanford, hiccoughing. "Don't want to wake her makes a devil of a row! I ain't drunk, but I don't want to wake her."
