Every morning the members went up to the great building, which they soon came to ignore, except as a place to do business in. They trooped there quite like boys going to school. It was the state legislature aggrandized noisier, more tumultuous and confusing.
"They went on very well without me," said Meta; "but ever since I have had the class they have been getting naughtier and noisier every Sunday; and, last Sunday, the prettiest of all the one I liked best, and had done everything for she began to mimic me held up her finger, as I did, and made them all laugh!" "Well, that is very bad!" said Margaret; "but I suppose she was a very little one."
Louder and noisier this little group became, Whitford, under a fresh supply of wine, leading in the boisterous mirth. One after another, attracted by the gayety and laughter, joined the group, until it numbered fifteen or twenty half-intoxicated young men and women, who lost themselves in a kind of wild saturnalia. It was past twelve o'clock when Mrs.
Rising from the table he stood with an irresolute air, then went slowly from the apartment and mingled with the company, moving about in an aimless kind of way, until he drifted again into the supper-room, the tables of which the waiters were constantly replenishing, and toward which a stream of guests still flowed. The company here was noisier now than when he left it a short time before.
Already the sounds of life were mingling with it the low of a cow the crowing of the cocks the hum of the noisier daylight insect-life.

One man was much bigger than the other.
"God forbid that I should grudge them their pleasure!" he thought. "It's all they have, poor creatures!" But the audience grew noisier as the evening went on. They called to the singers, made inarticulate squeals, and then laughed at their own humour. A lady sang a comic song. It described her attempt to climb to the top of an omnibus on a windy day.

Some few men are always cleverer or noisier or more restless than the others, and their activity produces certain deviations and peculiarities in their generation.
But Sir John's satisfaction in society was much more real; he delighted in collecting about him more young people than his house would hold, and the noisier they were the better was he pleased.
He greeted Gus very cordially, gave him a seat beside himself at the table, and tried to put a little life into him by talking about almost everything except life in the army. The deserters must have thought that their captors felt very much elated over their success, for a noisier party than that which was gathered about that rough board table was never seen anywhere.
A gory ball drops suddenly from a gory sky into a flaming sea, and "With one stride comes the dark." There is no place for me except on this little bridge, on which the captain and I have just had an excellent dinner, with hen-coops for seats. These noisy fowls are now quiet in the darkness, but the noisier Chinese are still bawling at the top of their voices. It is too dark for another line.
