They thought more of the marker than of the drummer; for the marker carried a little flag, and when the officers holloed out, "By the left flank left! Wheel!" he set his flag against his shoulder, and stood marking time with his feet till the soldiers all got by him, and then he ran up to the front rank, with the flag fluttering behind him.
"Take the box upstairs, Mary. Half a crown! oh no, two shillings will be quite enough." This economy was assumed to pacify the old gentleman; but it did not have the desired effect. "One and sixpence," he holloed out from his crutches. "Don't give him a halfpenny more." "Please, sir, the luggage, sir," said the fly driver. "Luggage!" shouted the old man.
Frank stepped on this shore ice to get a shinny-ball, and slipped down to the edge of the ice-sheet, which he would be sure to go under into the water. He holloed with all his might, and by good luck some people came and reached him a stick, by which he pulled himself out. The scare of it haunted him for long after, but not so much for himself.
Then the boys found another toy store; but they considered the dealer mean; he asked very high prices, and he said, when a boy hung back from buying a thing that it was "a very superior article," and the boys had that for a by-word, and they holloed it at the storekeeper's boy when they wanted to plague him.
His mother was standing at the back door, for she could not bear to stay in the house, and Pony's father holloed to her: "Here he is, Lucy, safe and sound!" and Pony's mother holloed back: "Well, don't touch him, Henry! Don't scold the child! Don't say a word to him! Oh, I could just fall on my knees!" Pony's father came along, bringing Pony and the lantern.
"It was a close thing which of us ran first," muttered the major, as he turned to give some directions to an aide-de-camp. "Ask them who they are," said he, in Spanish. By this time I came close alongside of him, and placing my mouth close to his ear, holloed out, "Monsoon, old fellow, how goes the King of Spain's sherry?" "Eh, what!

It was Hen Billard's grandmother, and she put her head out of the window with her night-cap on, to see what the matter was. Jim Leonard caught sight of her and he screamed, "Fire, fire, fire! I'm drownding, Mrs. Billard! Oh, do somebody come!" Hen Billard's grandmother just gave one yell of "Fire!
'Oh, my brotheh! she cried, 'Lawd save my po' brotheh! I's los' him ag'in! I done bid my las' dollah at de fust call!" "And Mingo knew her voice, spied her out?" "Yes, and holloed, 'Sidney! sisteh! till grand-mère wept too and a man called out, 'No one bid that six hundred! But grandpère said: 'I bid six-fifty and will tell all about this unlikely boy if his owner bids again.
The boy no sooner saw him mount his horse, than he holloed out to him that, rather than he should spoil his white-footed nag, he would come to him, on condition he would keep his fingers to himself. "I will make no conditions with thee, thou ugly varlet!" said Tressilian; "I will have thee at my mercy in a moment."
"Needn't bweak my earzh open, if 'tis, whined Toddie." "I only holloed in one ear, Tod," remonstrated Budge "an' you ought to love dear Aunt Alice enough to have that hurt a little rather than not wake up."
