"I'd ha' gone half-a-crown, myself," he murmured resignedly; "but I can't bid up against a rich man like Mr Rogers. . . . You don't know what the creetur says?" "No more'n Adam only that it's too shockin' for human ears. If Mr Rogers cares to take the bird for five shillin', he's welcome, and good riddance. Only he won't never find out what's wrong with him." "Honest?" asked Mr Rogers. "Honest.
Roebach had said something soothing to his Indians, but they, like Washington White, preferred remaining in the open. Wash sat down beside the cage of his pet rooster, and declared to the boys when they urged him to come in again: "No, sah! I ain't hongry, nohow. An' w'edder de professor am right dat dese yer earthquakes ain't shockin', I kin tell yo' right now dat it shocked me!
What do you suppose God give me all this big place fer, and all the money, if it wasn't to use fer His people?" "What shockin' ideas you have, Miss Doane, to bring God into the subject! You are most sacrilegious, dear Miss Doane." "Yes, I guess I am; most people seem to be afraid to mention Him."
There's a tidy drop there, sir, as you may remember. Chukkers lost his stirrup, and was crawling about on her withers. I hove up alongside agin'. He saw me comin' and made a shockin' face. 'Clear! he screams, 'or I'll welt you across the monkey mug! And just then, blest if old Cannibal didn't make another mistake and cannon into him agin'. That spilt him proper! Oh, my, Mr. Silver! my!
Before he had quite finished his laugh, slow and reluctant steps were heard on the back platform and Issy appeared on the threshold. He was without the package, but did not look happy. "Well, Is," inquired the depot master, "did you give the remains to the Major?" "Yes, sir," answered Issy. "Did you tell him how the shockin' fatality happened? How the thing got broken?" "Yes, sir, I told him."
For all she's so young, she's a widder, an' pr'aps it's as well she should be, seein' how shockin' her 'usband treated her afore he was took where no doubt he's bein' done as he did by. It's fair cruel, Miss Woodstock, mem, to see her sufferin's. She has fits, an' falls down everywheres; it's a mercy as she 'asn't been run over in the public street long ago.

Ethel shook her head almost determinedly and said, somewhat enigmatically, and FOR HER, heatedly: "NO!" "No?" asked Alaric. "No what?" "Charity!" said Ethel.
"Well yes I suppose there is; but their morals and religion are shockin'. It made my blood run cold, and my hair stand on eend, to see a company of soldiers marchin' through the streets last Sabba' day, to the tune of 'Hail Columby; and then to think of balls and theatres on the Lord's day night, really it's terrible. I wouldn't live in sich a place for all the world!"
At six o'clock I gave orders to awaken the nurses and order them to prepare their quarters for the reception of the wounded. At half- past six an Army Hospital Corps man came to me in the ward. "Shockin' case, sir, just come in," he said. "Officer. Gun busted, sir." "Take him to my quarters," I said, wiping my instruments on my sleeve.
