'Well, yes, it's next to magic, he replied to Woodseer's astonished snigger after the draught, and explained, that it was a famous Viennese four-of-the-morning panacea, the revellers' electrical restorer. 'Now you can hold on for an hour or two, and then we'll sup. At Rome? 'Ay! Druids to-morrow! cried the philosopher bewitched.
But he had not reckoned on a dowry; what allured him was the remarkable beauty of the innocent girl, above all her innocent appearance, which had a peculiar attraction for a vicious profligate, who had hitherto admired only the coarser types of feminine beauty. “Those innocent eyes slit my soul up like a razor,” he used to say afterwards, with his loathsome snigger.
So, carefully modelling his rhetoric on King, Beetle followed up the attack, surpassing and surprising himself, "It it isn't so much the cynical immorality of the biznai, as the blatant indecency of it, that's so awful. As far as we can see, it's impossible for us to go into Bideford without runnin' up against some prefect's unwholesome amours. There's nothing to snigger over, Naughten.

"Yes, they do," replied Tommy, "I walked three miles to see one to make sure. I was near putting in another beautiful bit about weeping-willows." "Well, why didn't you?" Tommy looked up with an impudent snigger. "You could never guess," he said.
Then he turned to the nursery governess with: "Are you quite satisfied with Raoul, Mademoiselle Bertha?" Mademoiselle Bertha became as red as a peony at being addressed, as if the question were scarcely comme il faut, and replied by a little imbecile snigger, which seemed fully to satisfy M.
