She confessed to feeling a little tired, and rode quietly beside Aunt Adelaide, leaning her sunny head on that lady's shoulder. "But it was lovely!" she said, with a sort of purr like a contented kitten. "Yes, you would!" exclaimed Roger, who sat in front of her in the big motor. "You'd be dancing in a sanitarium next thing you knew." "Pooh!" retorted Patty.
"But, my dear, all these pretty trickings and ornamentations are fairly wasted on me." "No, they aren't," said Norah, breathing hard, seeming to purr with pleasure. "They can't be wasted, if you've noticed them, Mr. Dale;" and as she lifted her head, she shook back the dark curling hair from her forehead. "P'raps they'd be wasted if you didn't know they were there."
It had the required result, for Buzzy leaped down off the wall up which he had scrambled, jumped on to my back, settled himself comfortably with his fore-paws on my shoulder, and began to purr with satisfaction. "I am glad, my boy," said Uncle Joseph, "so glad you have caught him; but have you hurt him much?" "He isn't hurt at all, uncle," I said. "It was all in play."
The purr of a rapidly moving motor rose above the rain, the light rose, fell, swerved to the right and to the left. "Someone must be in a hurry," commented Bridge. "I suppose it is James, anxious to find you and explain his absence," suggested The Oskaloosa Kid. They both laughed.
He had about him somewhat of the propensities of a tame cat. It seemed quite natural that he should be petted, caressed, and treated with familiar good nature, and that in return he should purr, and be sleek and graceful, and above all never show his claws. Like other tame cats, however, he had his claws, and sometimes made them dangerous.
And Lady O'Moy, to whom words never had any but a literal meaning, set herself to purr precisely as one would have expected.
"I've telt thee afore thou'rt yan of the wise asses. What do you mean by sell?" "I reckon you know when strangers in the street can tell me." The blacksmith coiled himself up in his gloomy reserve and stared into the fire. "Oh, thou's heard 'at yon man's in Doomsdale, eh?" Joe grunted something that was inarticulate. "I mean to hear the trial," continued Mrs. Garth, with a purr of satisfaction.
The brimming meadows seem fairly to purr as the breezes stroke them; the trees rustle their myriad leaves as if in gladness; the many-colored butterflies dance by; the steel blue of the swallows' backs glistens in the sun as they skim the fields; and the mellow boom of the passing bumble-bee but enhances the sense of repose and contentment that pervades the air.
But he was now lying in a more natural and comfortable position, with his handsome head resting upon his outstretched forepaws, like a great cat, and when Earle unhesitatingly approached, and, placing his hand upon the creature's head, proceeded gently to caress it, the animal not only endured the touch, but after a minute or two actually began to purr.
But ahead on this new level more such dots flocked, moving fast to close in on the flyer. "A straight ram course," Hume muttered, more to himself than Vye. Again the flyer drove forward in a rising thrust of speed. Then the smooth purr of the propulsion unit faltered, broke into protesting coughs.
