Jewett thought I had better put on this, but it is my very best gown." The artless sincerity and the soft sweet voice quite nonplused Aunt Priscilla. Then Warren returned and dropped on a three-cornered stool standing there, and almost tilted over. "Now, if I had gone into the fire, like any other green log, how I should have sizzled!" he said laughingly.
"Gawd!" she cried out. "O Gawd!" She flung wild glances, like those of an entrapped animal, up and down the big whitewashed room that panted with heat and that was thickly humid with the steam that sizzled from the damp cloth under the irons of the many ironers.
I was entirely out of verbal obliquities; to go further would be to lie, and that I would not do; so I simply sat still and suffered sat mutely and resignedly there, and sizzled for I was being slowly fried to death in my own blushes. Presently the enemy laughed a happy laugh and said: "I HAVE enjoyed this talk over old times, but you have not.
Should they flee again? and how? and where? and what good would flight do them, especially since Mr. Pyecroft might once more follow? Twice they had leaped from the frying-pan, and each time had landed in a fire hotter than the one preceding. A third flight might drop them into a fire worse even than this in which they now sizzled. And as for the specific plan which had brought them back for Mrs.
So called Li Wan to the man whose head was hidden beneath the squirrel-skin robe, but she called softly, as though divided between the duty of waking him and the fear of him awake.

Rea threw a blazing stick of wood among them, which sizzled as it met the furry coats, and brandishing another he ran into the thick of the fight. Unable to stand the proximity of fire, the wolves bolted and loped off into the woods. "What a huge brute!" exclaimed Jones, dragging the one he had shot into the light.
The man shook his head, and held out his hand for more. Lynch gave him another franc, and he returned a half franc piece. "Pour boire?" said the man with a winning smile. "Poor bwar! Who's he?" demanded Lynch, in whose head the strong water was producing its effect. "He means 'poor boy. I say, Grossbeck, does he think I'm I'm sizzled? I feel so myself. Come, let's go."
A trench-toughened, battle-toughened old sergeant was sitting in the doorway of his dug-out, frying a strip of bacon over one rim of the brazier and making tea over the other. The bacon sizzled with an appetizing aroma and a bullet sizzled harmlessly overhead. Behind that wall of sandbags all were perfectly safe, unless a shell came. But who worries about shells?
Under the trees, close to the creek, in whose cooling waters stood bottles of beer and wine, a tender calf was being barbecued. Upon long willow spits sizzled and frizzled toothsome morsels, made more toothsome by the addition of a sauce cunningly compounded of chillies, tomatoes, and the pungent onion.
