"Why," says I, "it's in the attic over over Oh, goodnight!" I groans. "Well?" demands Vee. "Over what?" "Over the south bedroom," says I. "Quick! Rescue expedition No. 2. Auntie again!" It was Auntie. Although she was clear at the other end of the house from us we heard her moanin' and takin' on even before we got the hall door open. And, of course, we made another mad dash.
Macdonald was sleeping, and Frances went softly to tell her. "Nola's askin' for you," Mrs. Chadron told her, "she's all heartbroke and moanin' in her bed. If you'll go to her, and comfort her a little, honey, I'll take as good care of him as if he was my own." Frances was touched by the appeal for sympathy.
"Scotsman!" exclaimed the Ancient sharply. "Scotsman!" "Yes, Ancient." "You'm mazed, Peter ah! mazed ye be! What, aren't I heerd un moanin' an' groanin' to 'isself ah! an' twitterin' to?" "As to that," said I, "those shrieks and howls he made with his bagpipe, very easy for a skilled player such as he."
How the storms had beat upon her; the first autumn rains of a thousand years, the first snow-flakes that had wavered down in a slantin' line and touched the tips of her outstretched fingers, and then had drifted about her till her heart wuz almost frozen and she would clap her cold hands together to warm 'em, and wail out a dretful moanin' sound of desolation, and pain.
'Come, lass, it's as ill moanin' after what's past as it 'ud be for me t' fill my eyes wi' weepin' after t' humbugs as this little wench o' thine has grubbed up whilst we'n been talkin'. Why, there's not one on 'em left!
I'm dyin', Lord help me, Harry Towers, the carpenter, wails; an' there was another terrific bang, an' outer his bunk Harry shot, landin', on th' chest o' one o' th' moanin' squirmin' sailors. Th' poor fellow, findin' himself thus flattened out, an' not knowin' what it was had fallen on him, gives a gaspin' sort er yell, an' drives Towers in th' back wi' his fist.
Mitch's hand didn't swell, but he kept gettin' sicker and sicker, and was moanin' and about to die; and the man drove faster and faster, for he said the snake was one of the most pisen. When we got to the square, Mr. Miller happened to be walkin' along. And the man drew up and said to Mr. Miller, "Here's your boy, bit by a snake." "What kind?" says Mr. Miller, all excited.
He crouched down between two of the largest rocks and instinctively the others followed suit. The "moanin" increased until, with a roar and a rush, a regular tropical hurricane was upon them.
A few jolts of the needle has put a clapper to his eternal moanin'. Go on with your work. Smash the boats. 'Tis nothin' I care. 'Tis well I know my own crooked back is worth more to me than the necks of the scum of the world below there." "If you felt that way, why didn't you join us?" I queried. "Because I like you no better than them an' not half so well.
"My, but this beats anything that I ever saw before!" cried Sam, as the wind began to rush by them with ever-increasing velocity. "Him blow big by-me-by," said Cujo with a sober face. "Him big storm, dis." "The air was full of a moanin' sound," to use Aleck's way of expressing it. It came from a great distance and caused the monkeys and birds to set up more of a noise than ever.
