Sounds like a locomotive starting on a heavy grade. Precisely!" "Do they fight much?" the boy asked. "Ever so often!" his informant replied. "Can't you hear the puffing? That shows there's a fight going on. I've seldom seen a rookery without a mix-up in progress. That is, during the early part of the season after the cows have started to haul up.
The pigeon would sit in one particular place, sunning herself, and puffing out her feathered breast, with all the blue and rose-coloured lights gleaming in the morning rays, cooing softly to herself as she dressed her plumage. Philip fancied that he saw the same colours in a certain piece of shot silk now in the shop; and none other seemed to him so suitable for his darling's wedding-dress.
It would have come steering along like a great black vessel, puffing and blowing, while all the time it would have been a creature of the sea, and we should have known it, and not have been so terrified.
It had the air of a house overflowing with life, every room with its sign of occupation. When he got in, the first sight he saw was Montjoie striding across the doorway of the small dining-room. Montjoie was very much at home, puffing his cigarette at the new comer. "Hallo, St. John!" he cried, then added with a tone of disappointment, "Oh! it's you."
Nevil looked up and beheld her lifted finger. 'You are composing a love-letter, Nevil! The accusation sounded like irony. 'No, said he, puffing; 'I wish I were! 'What can it be, then? He thrust pen and paper a hand's length on the table, and gazed at her. 'My dear Nevil, is it really anything serious? said she. 'I am writing French, ma'am. 'Then I may help you.
Freddie was so excited watching the puffing engines, seeing the big black clouds of smoke, and the leaping, darting tongues of lire from the windows of the burning building, also watching the firemen squirt big streams of Water on the blaze, that he did not think of himself, and the first he realized was when some one shouted at him: "Stand back there, youngster!"
His right hand he held behind his back, while with his left he poked his dagger into the candle-flame. Mayenne, red and puffing, hurried into the room. "What is the pother?" he demanded. "What devilment now, Paul?" "Mademoiselle's protégé is nervous," Lucas answered with a fine sneer.
I fear you may over-exert yourself some day." He paused for a moment, puffing like the engine of an overloaded freight train; then he resumed, "I called at your residence, and was so regretful at not finding you at home that your cousin, Mrs. Pennypoker, told me that you were bound for the gulch, and assured me that there was um some prospect of my overtaking, not to say catching up with you."
He was lying on his back in the crotch of the tree, holding on with both hands to the branches. He must have been a heavy sleeper or the puffing of the engine would have aroused him. But Louis would not fire at him, as Scott suggested. He had a bigger orang than the one in the tree, and he did not want another. As he would not fire, Felix refused to do so, and the mias was left to finish his nap.
He drew nearer, till he was close under the wall of the gardens. Then he noticed a small gate in the wall, sheltered by a little projecting porch. The Captain edged under the porch, took out a cigar, contrived to light it, and stood there puffing pensively. He was protected from the rain, which now fell very heavily, and he was asking himself again why only half the house was lighted up.
