So he kept perfectly still, listening with the utmost intentness; then he started slightly, for there was repeated the noise that had roused him from his sleep. It was a low, terrible croon, like "o-o-h o-o-h," repeated and repeated, and every once in a while its monotone was broken by a sharp shriek.
Then, spying a small phial on the shelf, close to where the box had been, "Oh I guess she left it for me to fill!" And, unscrewing the chunky little bottle from the spraying apparatus, she soon had it half full. Elsie smiled in blissful anticipation of the refreshing perfume, but as the spray fell near her she greeted it with a torrent of cries. "Ugh, ugh! O-o-h! take it away!"
He shuddered in spite of the heat as he pulled the bell knob. What ghosts would its jangle summon? The bell, however, gave no sound; in fact the knob came off in his hand, followed by a foot or so of copper wire. He laughed, gazing at it blankly. No one had ever used the bell in the old days. They had simply kicked open the door and halloed: "O-o-h, Bennie Hooker!"
At what angle, and with what degree of force, should we have swooped down there on a tangent, when the horses rounded this curve?" "O-o-h!" exclaimed Lottie, looking shudderingly down the steep bank, at the bottom of which brawled a swift stream among ice-capped rocks. "It's just the place for a tragedy. We were talking about heaven and the other place when the horses started, were we not?
Don't you feel like that yourself.... Sometimes? O-o-h!..." She drawled the word wearily. "Oh for a bit more money! Then we could give stew to the cat's-meat man and bread to old Thompson's chickens. And then we could have nice things to eat. Nice birds and pastry ... and trifle, and ices, and wine.... Not all this muck!" "Muck!" cried Emmy, her lips seeming to thicken.
Then she came over and wanted to switch it on herself; "Oh do please wait until I've got into bed." "O-o-h, is that it," said Dora, "why didn't you say so before? I've always hidden my things from you, and you haven't got any yet."
"O-o-h!" and Polly's face was beautiful in its joy; "does this mean that you're going to give me three hundred dollars to buy some new cots with?" "It means that the money is your own to use exactly as you please." The little lady was scarcely less excited than the child. Giving was to her almost an untried pleasure. "Oh, I can't, I can't, I can't thank you enough! It is so lovelicious!"
Doctor Lox threw in more hot stones and poured more water on them. The Bear yelled. "Let me out! O-o-h! let me out! O-o-o-oh!" So he came bursting through the door. The doctor examined him critically. "What a pity! You came out just as you were beginning to turn white. Here is the first spot. Five minutes more and you'd have been a white bear. Ah, you haven't the pluck of a gull; that I can see."
Hit was August but O-o-h, hot enough to fry eggs on a shingle, the day I tramped down to Cottonville with them specimens; and here it is" he threw up his head and took a comprehensive survey of the grove about him "airly spring March, I should say ain't it, Johnnie? Yes," as she nodded. "And who is this here young man that you name that's missin', honey?" The girl glanced at him apprehensively.
O-o-h, boy, watch your step; there was a narrow escape! I stepped on a chunk of air." So he came down working his way with both feet and one hand, and holding the precious piece of branch with its dangling nest in the other. "Talk about your barbed wire entanglements," he called. Then, after a minute, "This little codger lives in a swing," he shouted; "I should think she'd get dizzy.
