"Iss," says he, with a nod that looked as if it was jerked out of him by a most violent hiccup which is the way with those savages. I cast my eyes at Charker, and we both heard the pumps going aboard the sloop, and saw the signal run up, "Come on board; hands wanted from the shore."
Then, having made a hurried whispered consultation, young Jack stepped forth alone and tackled Mr. Mole. "Taking the air, sir?" "Yes, Jack hiccup yes, my dear boy, and I have come to look out for land." "Land?" "Yes." "Are we near?" "Sho sho I mean so I shpose s'pose " Mr. Mole was conscious of his speech being a little bit thick, and he hastened to add that he was suffering from toothache.
Something, a physical sensation like the jerk of a hiccup, shook my frame; and immediately the waters of being seemed to burst their dam and flow out peaceably into a valley of rest." William Tyrwhitt paused, and "Well?" said I. "You see me here," he said.
By this time the hiccup grew stronger, and all at once he sat up strong in his bed without assistance, "light as if he felt no wound;" but immediately thereafter gave a strong shudder, ejecting from his mouth a jet of dark matter like the grounds of chocolate, and fell back dead whereupon the negroes began to howl and shriek in such a horrible fashion, that we were glad to leave the scene.
Condorcet. “What do you think of what do you think of hiccup! Epicurus?” “What do I think of whom?” said the Devil, in astonishment; “you surely do not mean to find any fault with Epicurus! What do I think of Epicurus! Do you mean me, sir? I am Epicurus! I am the same philosopher who wrote each of the three hundred treatises commemorated by Diogenes Laertes.”
Since prohibition came in and a hiccup became a mark of affluence instead of a social error, as formerly, and a loaded flank is a sign of hospitality rather than of menace, things may have changed. I am speaking, though, of the damper early nineties in Kentucky, when a sudden motion toward the right hip pocket was a threat and not a promise, as at present.
I have a pretty good memory, and could mention the name of many a gentleman, now a smug officer of the United States Government, whom I have heard hiccup out a prayer that he might be allowed to perish under the folds of his country's flag; or roar a challenge to the bloody traitors absent with the rebel army. But let bygones be bygones.
The host swallowed another bumper, by way of denoting thorough comprehension and acquiescence, and the visitor continued: “Why, there are several ways of managing. The most of us starve: some put up with the pickle: for my part I purchase my spirits vivente corpore, in which case I find they keep very well.” “But the body! hiccup! the body!!” “The body, the body well, what of the body? oh! ah!
'Twenty to one, Ma'am, he replied with a slight hiccup, 'we'll have nothing of the kind; but have them here, Ma'am, and some warm water for fear of accidents though maybe 'tis only for a dhrop of punch we'll be wanting it, and his huge, thirsty mouth grinned facetiously; and just then Dr. Toole entered the room. He was confoundedly surprised when he found Black Dillon there.
Further, the last dying hiccup of the Haliotis seemed or it might have been the Malay from the boat-house to have lifted the thing bodily on its bolts, and set it down inaccurately as regarded its steam connections. "If we only had one single cargo-derrick!" Mr. Wardrop sighed.
