"Ye'll lick where that lay, McKelvie, ye ye maker of meats for sailors," and the sweat rolled off his brow, and his voice was a skirl of rage. McKelvie grabbed a horse-pistol from among his kegs. "Ye hound, I'll put a hole in ye that will be hurrying the gaugers tae fill wi' siller," and as quick as light he levelled the pistol and drew the trigger.
Jeering laughter followed her exit on a skirl of sleet-fledged wind. She seethed over her anger for many a long mile, to such fierceness was its flame fed by disappointment and more potent jealousy.
Hazel, always for adventure, said they would, and said also that she could hear the queen in one hive 'zeep-zeeping' that strange music which, like the maddeningly soft skirl of bagpipes or the fiddling of Ned Pugh, has power to lure living creatures away from comfort and full hives into the unknown so darkly sweet. 'I canna hear it, said Vessons obstinately. 'Go on! You're deaf, Mr. Vessons.
"Come away from the standin' stanes and the heroes' graves. That wasna the skirl o' a ghost, but a hail frae a sonsy lass but what gars her risk her bonny legs in yon daft-like wie beats me." "I think," says I, "yon'll be Finlay Stuart's Uist powny; there's none here has the silver mane and tail. . . ."
And with each radiant roar higher faster it dashed, the little Thunder Bird, with never a puff of smoke to dim the spectacle the transplendency of its flight. "Michty! Michty!... Magerful!" There was just the one skirl from Andrew, to lend it music on its upward way; he had not thought that he came to America to witness a thing like this. "Magerful", indeed! Magical, indeed!
There cam' a bang and then ae waefu' skirl frae the Bass. And there were we rubbin' our een and lookin' at ither like daft folk. For wi' the bang and the skirl the thing had clean disappeared. The sun glintit, the wund blew, and there was the bare yaird whaur the Wonder had been lowping and flinging but ae second syne. The hale way hame I roared and grat wi' the terror o' that dispensation.
Jean looked fearfully over her shoulder. There was a creepy feeling in the back of her neck, and Jock's eyes were as round as door-knobs. The Shepherd laughed at them. "Good children have little to fear from the fairy folk," he said. "Come, now, your eyes are fair sticking out of your heads. I'll give you a skirl on the bagpipes if Jeanie'll bring them from the closet.

The Gulab heard it, too, and her body stiffened, her head thrust from the enveloping cloak, and her eyes showed like darkened sapphires. "Carts carrying cotton perhaps," he said.
Cathro first uttered what was afterward described as a kind of throttled skirl, and then he roared "Come here!" whereupon Tommy stepped forward heavily, and tried, as commanded, to come to his senses, but it was not easy to make so long a journey in a moment, and several times, as he seemed about to conquer his fears, a wave of feeling set them flowing again. "Take your time," said Mr.
They sometimes exclaimed Hi! ho! hoy! and hah! as things were pointed out to them, but did not venture on language more intelligible at first. "Let 'em hear the steam-whistle," suggested the mate. Before the Captain could countermand the order, Benjy had touched the handle and let off a short, sharp skirl. The effect on the natives was powerful.
