He saw before him sumptuous feasts, and streams of fresh water flowing. These he began to describe with great volubility and rapture, smacking his lips and exulting. And so he went on tantalizing them till noon. Meantime, Cooper asked Mr. Hazel if he could sail the boat. "I can steer," said he, "but that is all. My right arm is benumbed."
He had hardly stopped to breathe from day-dawn till moon-rise: he would not always have the friendly moonlight to help him. But now Little Lizay's basket was swinging. He listened to hear its weight with interest, but how unlike this was to the absorbed anxiety which she had felt for him! "Two hunderd an' 'leven thutty-six poun's behin'!" said Mr. Buck, smacking his lips as over some good thing.
He thought it would revive him, so, of course, the effect was instantaneous. The same quantity of prussic acid could not have killed him more rapidly than the brandy rallied his scattered forces, and, not being a physiologist, he gave the brandy all the credit. "Ah!" he said, smacking his lips with some of the old-time relish, "that puts new life into one.
'Owever did you know we were 'ere?" "You wicked fellow! Get away, will you! I 'ate the very sight of you!" this from Tilly, as Purdy, his hands on her hips, gave her a smacking kiss.

He's been smacking his lips and patting his stomach all day over the thought of a Gault dinner. I know he has. Terrapin and canvas-backs, champagne, and Nesselrode pudding are all a jumble in his mind this minute. And to give him vegetable soup and ham and cabbage and half-cooked goose!"
We were constantly dreaming of tables finely spread with a plenty of all those good and savory things with which we used to be regaled at home, when we would wake smacking our lips, and groaning with disappointment. I pretend not to say that the allowance was insufficient to keep some men pretty comfortable; but it was not half enough for some others.
