Persis read this defiance twice, and her lips twitched. She turned toward the house, but by this time the children had espied her and shriekingly descended upon her, "like the plagues of Egypt," thought Mary, watching from the window. "What makes you look that way?" cried Celia, clutching Persis' hand. "I don't like it." "What way, child?" "As though you was a widow."
Then, as if it had been an "impenitent mule" in some far-distant Far-Western incarnation, this Eoman cab-horse recognized the voice of authority; it nerved itself against the imaginary danger, and came steadily forward; our agent regained his place, and we moved shriekingly on to the next object of interest.
Toothache one of the diseases to which Greenlanders are peculiarly liable invariably drew forth Ippegoo's tenderest feelings for himself, accompanied by touching lamentations. "Come, Ippe, be more of a man. Even your mother would scold you for groaning like that." "But it is so shriekingly bad!" returned the afflicted youth, with increasing petulance. "Of course it is. I know that; poor fellow!
"Now!" he warned. "Hold tight." And, going behind the boy, he strongly clasped his slim little waist in its blue sailor-cloth, and sent the whole affair swing-seat and boy and all flying to the skies. And the boy shrieked in the violence of his ecstasy, and his cap fell on the grass. Edwin worked hard without relaxing. "Go on! Go on!" The boy shriekingly commanded.
I remember the first day I decided I would trim the vandyke beard on our lawn. Of course I got all mine, and I got it good.

They treated her as a comrade, told her anecdotes of the coulisses of Calcutta. The Colonel retailed a jest of the bazaars. "I permit smoke, not smoking-room stories," she said severely. At which the twain poked each other shriekingly in the ribs. After that Eileen let the Colonel have rope enough to hang himself with, though she felt it cutting cruelly into her own flesh.
"And I," said the Moo Kow, "am terrible. When the young women and children in the village see me approach they fly shriekingly. My presence alone has scattered their sacred festival The Sundes Kool Piknik. I strike terror to their inmost souls, and am more feared by them than even Kreep-mows, the insidious! And yet, behold!
He glanced nervously at me and was going to begin some kind of explanation, when Miss Doria cut him short. 'Remember our rule, Launcelot. No turgid war controversy within these walls.
