But he only sniggered at me, and said he wouldn't, and bid me hush; and then he got mad, and because I couldn't hush up just in a minute, he whipped me quite smart. Orphy. Poor little thing! Dinah. And then I got frightened, for he put on a wicked look, and said he'd kill me dead if I cried any more, or made the least noise.
G.J. was relieved, uplifted; and he sniggered at his terrible forebodings of August and September. Ruin? He was actually going to make money out of the greatest war that the world, etc. etc. And why not? Somebody had to make money, and somebody had to pay for the war in income tax.
Mullet knew all about blackfellows' weirs and their beds. Some slid through. Many leaped, and, curving gracefully in the air, struck the "bed" at such an angle that it offered no more resistance to them than a sheet of damp tissue-paper. They sniggered as they went through it, and splashed wildly to the sea.
Bob sniggered at this; and, passing along a narrow dark passage, its obscurity rather increased than diminished by the solitary illuminating power of a single "dip" in a ship's lantern hung up against the side, the lieutenant stopped the Captain from any further grumbling by introducing him into the ward-room, which, being well lit up with little electric lamps, offered a marked contrast to the other parts of the vessel they had traversed.
Godfrey saw the caricature and sniggered, then when the lectures were over gravely reproved the author, saying that he should not do such things. "Why not?" asked Arthur, opening his blue eyes.

"There's something wrong with you to-night, Haldane, for you seem quite off your chump, so you'd better go below and sleep it off. There's no ship near us, I tell you!
'Oh! at once! as soon as the others are agreeable, said the old woman, alarmed about her periodical presents. 'What do you say, Brichet? we are not such bad Christians as to go against his reverence? Fortune sniggered. 'Oh, I'm quite ready, he said, 'and so is Rosalie. I saw her yesterday at the back of the mill. We haven't quarrelled. We stopped there to have a bit of a laugh.
Shame confessed Andrew's naughtiness; he sniggered pitiably: whereas the Countess jumped up, and pointing at him, asked her sister what she thought of that. Her next sentence, coolly delivered, related to some millinery matter. If this was not innocence, what is?
How it's all expressed, distorted, mutilated!" he exclaimed, tapping the book with his fingers. "Were these the conclusions we were striving for. Who can understand the original idea in this?" "Improving your mind?" sniggered Pyotr Stepanovitch, taking the book from the table and reading the title. "It's high time. I'll bring you better, if you like."
Avery was stooping over the injured foot. Jeanie was propped sideways, half-lying against Piers' knee. "Don't touch it, please, Aunt Avery!" she whispered. The other children had drawn round in an interested group. "It looks like a fracture to me," observed Olive in her precise voice. Piers flashed her a withering glance. "Mighty lot you know about it!" he retorted rudely. Pat sniggered.
