Upon learning that I had no means of curing him or of alleviating the pain, Shanks bellowed into my ear, loud enough to bring the dead out of the grave-mounds on the surrounding hill-sides, "Puh p'a teh, pub p'a teh"; then, raising his carrying-pole to the correct angle on the hump on his back, went merrily forward, warbling some squealing Chinese ditty. But Shanks was the songster of the party.
"Puh!" said Ann, scornfully; "a pretty lot of vagabonds you are, indeed; all lost or strayed, I suppose, and not worth a Queen's plundering. I'm sorry I've conquered you." "But you haven't conquered us yet," called Betsy indignantly. "No," agreed Files, "that is a fact.
His toilet over, he put on his best hat with a flourish, and set out. Louise stayed at home all the morning, waiting for his return. And at last she heard him on the stairs. "Puh!" he said, and stood still in the middle of the room. "Well? Did you get it?" He laughed, wiped his forehead, and drew a green-covered book from his coat-pocket.
Then suddenly the girl jumped up and struck the table with her fist, shaking the things on the tray. "What the hell am I snivelling about 'twon't make it any better." She took the bottle of beer, filled a tumbler and drank it off at a draught, then flung the glass crashing against the wall behind the stove. "Puh! Now I've got that wretched fit again."
Geissler went on writing for a bit, and then looked up. "You'll be having other people taking up land hereabouts before long." At this the man with him spoke: "There's some started already." "Ho! And who might that be?" "Well, first, there's the folk at Breidablik, as they call it man Brede, at Breidablik." "Him puh!" sniffed Geissler contemptuously.
Dead Frenchmen were lying everywhere. From a drab heap of mud and clothing a human arm projected. The terminal finger-joints had dropped off. The blackened skin was drawn tightly over the back of the hand which seemed to clutch frantically at some invisible object. A little further on two soldiers were scraping the soil with sticks. "Gorblimy 'e ain't 'alf rotten puh don't 'e stink!
But many and many a youth must have followed this road in the evenings, going up to court his Mari or his Kari at the saeter-hut, the same road and the same errand one generation after another.

Moreover, the defense readily admitted that the pearls exhibited had all been in Jones' possession. Then Colby got up to refute the evidence. "Mr. Jones," he began, "has " "Give the prisoner's full name," said the judge. "His full name is A. Jones." "What does the 'A' stand for?" "It is only an initial, your honor. Mr. Jones has no other name." "Puh! He ought to have taken some other name.
The admission of such people to a respectable house, and the entertainment of them as at a music hall, could have its origin only in some wild semi-political scheme of the old fellow, who had more crotchets in his head than brain could well hold! It was a proceeding as disgraceful as extraordinary! Puh! Could the tenth part of the air present be oxygen?
"Something overhead!" and then the answer comes, "Keo yao!" "Stoop lower!" When the way is very uneven, you hear "Leo puh ping!" "The road is not level!" to which is replied, "Mon tien hsin!"
