In their cups the Germans use little mirth or discourse, but ply the business sadly, crying 'Seyte frolich! The best of their drunken sport is 'Kurlemurlehuff, a way of drinking with touching deftly of the glass, the beard, the table, in due turn, intermixed with whistlings and snappings of the finger so curiously ordered as 'tis a labour of Hercules, but to the beholder right pleasant and mirthful.
The horrible thing turned out to be a saddle, which was strapped on in spite of kicks and groans and snappings of his strong, white teeth, and finally, finding that it was of no use, Cara gave in and carried his burden patiently, as all other camels do. But all this training took some time, and it was not for another year or two that Cara was really of much use.
Thoroughly baffled and furious, they were speedily in pursuit, and it required all of Alec's effort to much increase the distance between them and himself. Several times they cut across short necks of the little river, and once so near did they get that the snappings of their terrible teeth were distinctly heard.
The volleying of the storm sounded like the sea heard afar off: it was so remote and steady a noise that lesser sounds were discernible the rustlings, squeakings, and snappings of small creatures moving over small undergrowth.
And the conversation continued, fitfully in ghostly whispers, lips scarcely stirring close to one another's ears. As for the swamp, it was less reticent, and began to wake up all around them in the darkness. Strange creaks and quacks and croaks broke out, sudden snappings of twigs, a scurry among dead leaves, a splash in the water, the far whir of wings.
