"I don't want to go away, Waller, but I must; and as that man Bunny you call him does not bring us any news, I want you to let me start off to-morrow night as soon as it is dark, and make my way to Southampton." "To be caught and put in prison," cried Waller, "and Bother that owl! That's the third time it has hooted this last five minutes.
The old owl no longer hooted, and the water-oaks had ceased to moan as they bent their heads. Edna arose, cramped from lying so long and still in the hammock. She tottered up the steps, clutching feebly at the post before passing into the house. "Are you coming in, Leonce?" she asked, turning her face toward her husband. "Yes, dear," he answered, with a glance following a misty puff of smoke.
"Why, unhitch the animal, and make it on horseback." "Me?" hooted Jem. "Why, I never rode a horse twice in my life, and then without a saddle not much." "Well, unhitch, anyway; it isn't far to the town. Let the livery stable man come back after the wagon here and give you a new rig." "There's no other way to do that I can make out," agreed Jem. "Yes, that's just what we'll do."
These were all wanting: some were afraid to follow the bold example of their leader; many were disinclined. In eight-and-forty hours it was known there was a 'hitch. The Reform party, who had been rather stupefied than appalled by the accepted mission of the Duke of Wellington, collected their scattered senses, and rallied their forces. The agitators harangued, the mobs hooted.
With this final impertinence she rose and went away, without taking any further notice of me. I let her go without moving from my seat. I was stupefied. I repented of having given in; such impudence was unparalleled. I called myself a fool, and vowed I deserved to be publicly hooted. My dear Dubois came in, and I told my tale. She was thunderstruck.
Night had fallen dark before we came out upon a plateau, and drew up a little after, before a certain lump of superior blackness which I could only conjecture to be the residencia. Here, my guide, getting down from the cart, hooted and whistled for a long time in vain; until at last an old peasant man came towards us from somewhere in the surrounding dark, carrying a candle in his hand.
The men with one accord drew their pipes out and looked at her. "I mean it. If Porthlooe was the place it used to be, there'd be tin kettles in plenty to drum en out o' this naybourhood to the Rogue's March next time he showed his face here. When's he comin' back?" No one knew. "The girl's as bad; but 'twould be punishment enough for her to know her lover was hooted out o' the parish.
When Cis returned home one evening and declared that the forewoman at the factory had asserted that there were stars everywhere in the sky by day as well as by night, and no plain spots at all anywhere; and, further, that if anybody were at the bottom of a deep well he or she could see stars in the sky in the daytime, Johnnie had fairly hooted at the tale.
It will hold, absolutely, in any court in the land; but if you will take me to your mine and turn it over in good faith, I will agree to cancel the contract." "Oh! You don't want nothing!" hooted Wunpost sarcastically, "but I'll tell you what I will do I'll give you thirty thousand dollars, cash." "No!
It was a shade cooler in the press-room than the office, so I sat there, while the type ticked and clicked, and the night-jars hooted at the windows, and the all but naked compositors wiped the sweat from their foreheads and called for water.
