"Well; yes; all. I guess I don't care much for eating and drinking." In saying this she actually contrived to produce something of a nasal twang. "Eating and drinking!" said Dolly. "Of course they are necessities; and so are clothes." "But new things are such ducks!" "Trowsers may be," said Dolly. Then she took a prolonged gaze at him, wondering whether he was or was not such a fool as he looked.
To obtain this result the insect rears herself upon her hind legs, supporting herself upon the tripod formed by the end of the wing-covers and the posterior tarsi. It would be hard to imagine anything more curious than this little carpenter, as she stands upright and brings her nasal bradawl down towards her body. Now the drill is held plumb against the surface, and the boring commences.
The Banshee called once that night, and again Turk seemed not to hear, but half an hour later there was a different and much lower sound outside, a light, nasal "wow." The boys scarcely heard it, but Turk sprang up with bristling hair, growling, and forcing his way out under the door, he ran, loudly barking, into the woods.
'No hymeneal lights were kindled, he began chanting, pronouncing all the vowels through his nose, giving the syllables 'an, 'en, the nasal sound they have in French; and it was strange to hear this connected speech from his lips: 'No torches ... No, that's not it: "Not vain Corruption's idols frail Not amaranth nor porphyry Rejoiced their hearts ... One thing in them ..." 'That was about us.
Close to the ramp they stopped, and the front man, cocking his head to one side as only birds and the newly blind do, gave voice again in nasal singsong. "Will none tell me where is the great, good, wise hakim Kurram Khan?" "I am he," said King, and he stepped down toward him, calling to an assistant to come and bring him water and a sponge.
We may discover the presence of a tumour of this nature in one of the nasal passages, when, on putting our hand to the orifice of the nostril, there issues little or no air; or when we sound the nostril with the finger or a probe, or examine it on a bright day. The methods of destroying polypi in the nasal cavity vary with the texture, size, form, and position of these excrescences.
The perfect triumph of her nose was to perceive absolutely nothing. The only trial to her in cooking was the fact that so often she could not make things taste good without making them smell good. In the course of time, bending over a sheet of this note paper, with an expression of high nasal disapproval.
I thanked Heaven for it, not that being a Catholic I had any repugnance for the congregation next door, but because my nerves were shattered by a blatant exhorter, whose every word echoed through the aisle of the church as if it had been my own rooms, and who insisted on his r's with a nasal persistence which revolted my every instinct.
But that did not seem to soothe his nerves sufficiently, so he strolled over to the piano and began to drum bits of popular airs and sing in a high nasal tone that he was pleased to call "whiskey tenor." Julia Cloud, with a despairing glance at him, finally closed her book and suggested that they had read enough for that day, and the little audience drifted away unhappily to their rooms.
One little volume, entitled The Scotch Presbyterian Eloquence Displayed, had an immense success in the South among both High Churchmen and scoffers, and is not yet quite forgotten. It was indeed a book well fitted to lie on the hall table of a Squire whose religion consisted in hating extemporaneous prayer and nasal psalmody.
