Archie even declared that he had caught her alone in the back-kitchen shoving the cat's head into the mouth-piece of the instrument, and pinching its tail to make it mew.
Its mouth-piece being then with much formality held for a few seconds to the face of Kepoochikawn it was next presented to the earth, having been previously turned a second time over the hot stones; and afterwards with equal ceremony pointed in succession to the four quarters of the sky then, drawing a few whiffs from the calumet himself, he handed it to his left-hand neighbour by whom it was gravely passed round the circle; the interpreter and myself, who were seated at the door, were asked to partake in our turn but requested to keep the head of the calumet within the threshold of the sweating-house.
Diana was a mere mouth-piece; but she was the mouth-piece of eye-witnesses; whereas Barton was the mouth-piece of his daily newspaper and a handful of partisan books written to please the political section to which he belonged. He began to stumble and to make mistakes gross elementary mistakes in geography and fact and there-with to lose his temper.
Well?" was sent up in reply, and the voice that came from below came out at the mouth-piece above, so soft and faint and far-far-away-like that it seemed to Joe to belong to another world, and had to be listened to attentively to be understood. "D'you think you could read by the light of your lamp?" "Yes, I'm sure I could." "Look out then; I'm sending you down a copy o' the Times."
He went carefully through his pockets to see if he had one with him, but he had not, and he determined to get a pipe. Pipes are always cheap. "What sort of a pipe, sir?" said the man behind the counter. "A cheap pipe," said Van Bibber. "But what sort?" persisted the man. Van Bibber thought a brier pipe, with an amber mouth-piece and a silver band, would about suit his fancy.
"This translation was accomplished by means of certain delicate machinery contained in the end of the mouth-piece, which was longer and larger than that of the ordinary ear-tube, but the outward appearance of which did not indicate that it held anything extraordinary. It would take too long to explain this mechanism to you, and you would not be interested; nor is it necessary to my story.
Her eyes blazed at him for an instant; her lips trembled and then she also became the mouth-piece of the mysterious force forever hovering near us; of that perverse inspiration, wandering capricious and uncontrollable, like a gust of wind. "What is the good of this, Alvan? . . . You know why I came back. . . . You know that I could not . . ." He interrupted her with irritation.
Such are some of the physical effects of the pipe, in Eastern lands. Morally and psychologically, it works still greater transformations; but to describe them now, with the mouth-piece at my lips, would require an active self-consciousness which the habit does not allow. A servant enters with a steamy cup of coffee, seated in a silver zerf, or cup-holder.
"A dip pickpocket and his girl, or gun-moll, as they call them," translated Kennedy. "One of their number has evidently been picked up by a detective and he looks to them for a good lawyer, or mouth-piece." Besides these two there were innumerable other interesting glimpses into the life of this meeting-place for the half-and underworlds.
"Thou art called Jacopo Frontoni?" said the secretary, who acted as the mouth-piece of the Three, on this occasion. "I am." "Thou art the son of a certain Ricardo Frontoni, a man well known as having been concerned in robbing the Republic's customs, and who is thought to have been banished to the distant islands, or to be otherwise punished?" "Signore or otherwise punished."
