She had chilblains, poor dear, and spoke through her dose. `You busn't do it, Peggy, you really busn't. It's bost adoying! Then I did it again, you know, and she sniggered and tried to look cross. This is I don't know who this is from! It's a man's writing. It looks like a business letter London postmark and something printed in white on the seal. What is it? `The Pic-Pic-Piccadilly' Robert!"
Miss Puff sniggered again, and continued to do so until her puffy face and neck became extremely pink and dangerously inflated, insomuch that Gildart asked her somewhat abruptly what in the world she was laughing at.
"I cannot say, sir, that I have the pleasure of remembering you." "Man, I'm a son of auld John Wilson of Brigabee." "Oh, auld Wilson, the mole-catcher!" said contemptuous Gourlay. "What's this they christened him now? 'Toddling Johnnie, was it noat?" Wilson coloured. But he sniggered to gloss over the awkwardness of the remark.
"He's already done it," sniggered the stepfather-in-law. "I writ a document a Philadelphia lawyer and a Pinkerton detective combined couldn't pick a flaw in. I hedged it in with roundabout reasons an' facts, tellin' 'im he'd 'a' had letter after letter about how the baby was thrivin' if he'd just answered Hettie's first official proclamation, and so on, and so on. Folks, I can hardly wait.
"Vassily Terentyev!" he pronounced in a hollow, threatening voice, "we know for a fact that you have the watch. You are told honourably to give it back and if you don't ..." Vassily sniggered insolently. "Then what will you do with me then? Eh?" "What will we do? We will both fight with you till you beat us or we beat you." Vassily laughed. "Fight? That's not for a gentleman!
This is nearly as bad as Hyde Park, and with that jumped up to give the crowd a piece of her mind. They sniggered, but they quieted down, all but one. 'Yes, you are the gentleman, you there with the polo cap, who doesn't believe in giving a fair hearing.
Hortense was trying to restrain her, but Renine whispered: "Let them be. It's what I wanted ... to pitch them one against the other and so to let in the day-light." Madame Astaing had made a convulsive effort to ward off the insult with a jest; and she sniggered: "A wretched creature? Why? Because I have accused you?" "Why? For every reason! You're a wretched creature!
You consider cricket beneath you, I believe " the crowd, flannelled, sniggered "and from what I have seen this afternoon, I fancy many others of your house hold the same view. And may I ask what you purpose to do with your noble selves till tea-time?" "Going down to bathe, sir," said Stalky. "And whence this sudden zeal for cleanliness? There is nothing about you that particularly suggests it.
I obeyed automatically, proffering it to the lady who nearly withered me with a glance, and then to each to each in turn. To my relief the young man took one. "Archibald," said his mother, "you are surely not going to make your sisters' dresses smell of tobacco just before dinner." Archibald sniggered and replied, "A little more smoke will not make any difference in this room, Ma."
Elkin nudged Tomlin, and sniggered at the rest of his colleagues, as much as to say: "What did I tell you? The cheek of him!" Elkin, by the way, looked ill. When his interest flagged for an instant his haggard aspect became more noticeable. Ingerman was there, of course. Furneaux sat beside Mr. Fowler.
