Father Tom then sung him Monatagrenage and the Bunch o' Rushes, and he was mighty well pleased wid both, keeping time wid his hands, and joining in the choruses, when his hiccup 'ud let him. At last, my dear, he opens the lower button ov his waistcoat, and the top one of his waistband, and calls to Masther Anthony to lift up one ov the windys.
“Did you mean to say ” “Yes, sir, my soul is hiccup! humph! yes, sir.” “Did you not intend to assert ” “My soul is hiccup! peculiarly qualified for hiccup! a ” “What, sir?” “Stew.” “Ha!” “Soufflée.” “Eh!” “Fricassée.” “Indeed!” “Ragoût and fricandeau and see here, my good fellow! I’ll let you have it hiccup! a bargain.” Here the philosopher slapped His Majesty upon the back.
O my soul!" cries Tom, with a hiccup and a snigger; "'tis time you made another grand tour, Courtenay. Here's the second Whig has got in on you within the week!" "Thank God they have not got me down to osnabrig and bumbo yet," replies the doctor.
Why, man, such carles as thou and I can hardly be called better than old hemlocks, decayed nettles, or withered rag-weed; but I suppose you think that we are still worth watering." "I am an old soldier, sir, I thank Heaven hiccup" "An old skinker, you mean, John. But come, never mind, show me the way to your mistress, old lad."

"Ahoy, there! you boy, Bill! tell 'em t' look sharp hiccup in getting out long b't sharp, d'y' hear. L'em be quick about it quick, hiccup for by hiccup there's a barrel of pow hiccup powder aboard!" The astounding intelligence, conveyed by the final sentence of this staggering speech, deprived me for the moment of the power of motion. "A barrel of powder aboard!"

At last the clop-clop-clop of a horse's hoofs sounded close by, and an unshaven man in an ancient high hat steered a four-wheeler to the curb, barking: "Keb, keb!" Bob lurched forward and laid a hand upon the driver's knee. "Very man I'm lookin' for." The hiccup that followed was by no means intentional. "Yes, sir. Where to, sir?"
He saw me crossing the square, but would not open his door until I was close to it. "When I open," he cried, "squeeze through quick"; but though I did his bidding, a rush of water darted in before me. Hendry reclosed the door by flinging himself against it. "When I saw you crossing the square," he said, "it was surprise enough to cure the hiccup."
