For ever and anon, the kind-hearted epicure sighed, whimpered, wept outright, and then turned with double zest to some new dish or his refilled goblet. 'My good fellow, said he to his companion, it was a most awful judgment heigho! it is not bad that kid, eh? Poor, dear Glaucus! what a jaw the lion has too! Ah, ah, ah! And Sallust sobbed loudly the fit was stopped by a counteraction of hiccups.
I tried drinking spirits, but it made my head ache; and moreover, I confess I was afraid of becoming a drunkard from mere chagrin, that is to say, the saddest kind of drunkard, of which I had seen many examples in our district. I had no near neighbors, except two or three topers, whose conversation consisted for the most part of hiccups and sighs. Solitude was preferable to their society.
'Then tell him he mustn't undress in my hall, said a voice from the stair-head. 'Tell her Lingnam began. 'Come and look at the pretty suit I've chosen, Penfentenyou cooed, as one cajoling a maniac. I staggered out-of-doors again, and fell into the car, whose ever-running machinery masked my yelps and hiccups.
He sits apart, with his elbow on the back of a vacant chair, and glares disdainfully at Jinkins. Gander, in a convulsing speech, gives them the health of Bailey junior; hiccups are heard; and a glass is broken. Mr Jinkins feels that it is time to join the ladies. He proposes, as a final sentiment, Mrs Todgers. She is worthy to be remembered separately. Hear, hear. So she is; no doubt of it.

For some time past, Maurice had been possessed by the idea that what was happening concerned him very nearly, and that he ought to interfere and put his foot down. His hands had grown cold, and he sat vainly trying to speak: nothing, however, came, but little drunken gulps and hiccups.
Every one listened with an expression of respectful attention. The merchant, diffusing a smell of brandy around him, and restraining loud hiccups, approvingly nodded his head at every sentence. When he had finished his speech, the president turned to the male prisoner. "Simeon Kartinkin, rise." Simeon jumped up, his lips continuing to move nervously and inaudibly. "Your name?"
From one mouth alone, however, proceeded, amidst a succession of hiccups, the word "transportation," which, when Lord Deilmacare heard, he changed his principle, and joined the old squire in the same mitigation of feeling. "I say, Deilmacare," shouted Sir Robert, "we must hang him high and dry." "Very well," replied his lordship, "with all my heart, Sir Robert; we must hang you high and dry."

Mary, had you not preferred an ass to a man, would you have married Jack Bray, when a Michael Angelo offered? Ah! Fanny, were you not a woman, would you persist in adoring Tom Hiccups, who beats you, and comes home tipsy from the Club?
It was in an orchard behind the house, and was one of those old-fashioned things that sound like a siren whistle with the hiccups. It took me about five minutes to get the water up, and when I got back to Joe's room, a woman was there with the doctors. It was Miss Rainey. She had her hat off, her sleeves were rolled up and, though her face was the whitest I ever saw, she was cool and steady.
"Have you anything to do with the house?" panted Jimmy at last. "Because we're using it just now." He gulped. "And I'm ah keeping cave." "All right," said Penfentenyou, and shut the hall door.
