"You beast!" she choked. "Mama, Bernard's laughing at me. Oughtn't Bernard to know how to behave better? Because I'm so unhappy isn't a reason I should be laughed at." Whereat they all laughed Bessie was so ridiculous, they thought; and Mrs. Day, putting out a kind hand to the angrily sobbing girl, led her from the room. "You're all too bad," she said, looking back at the sniggering group.
Riasantzeff shrugged his shoulders, and at last blurted out: "Deuce take it! Such a night, eh? It seems to have got hold of me, too. I say, suppose we drive back, and " Yourii did not at first understand what he meant. "There are some fine girls there, you know. What do you say? Shall we go back?" continued Riasantzeff, sniggering. Yourii blushed deeply.
One or two tall bushmen bowed their heads as if they had to, and One-eyed Bogan, with the blood washed from his face, stood with his hat off, glaring round to see if he could catch anyone sniggering. Mitchell, the shearer, said afterwards that the whole business made him feel for the moment like he felt sometimes in the days when he used to feel things.
What a benefactor an honest laughter-maker is! Since Dickens there has been nobody to fill our lungs like Kipling. Is it not better that the public should have 'My Lord the Elephant' and 'Brugglesmith' to laugh outright at than that they should be feebly sniggering over the jest-books begotten on English Dulness by Yankee humour, as they were eight or nine years ago?
The coward was quite proud of his victory; and finding Catherine asleep, or apparently so, when he followed her to bed, speedily gave himself up to slumber too, and had some pleasant dreams to his portion. Mr. Wood also went sniggering and happy upstairs to his chamber.
In the fore-court, lit by the dim rays of a horn lantern, some eight or ten little field-mice stood in a semicircle, red worsted comforters round their throats, their fore-paws thrust deep into their pockets, their feet jigging for warmth. With bright beady eyes they glanced shyly at each other, sniggering a little, sniffing and applying coat-sleeves a good deal.
I saw you near the willows kissing Sasha. I followed you and saw it all. "Zinotchka started, flushed all over, and overwhelmed by 'my hint' she sank down on the chair, on which stood a glass of water and a candlestick. "'I saw you . . . kissing . . . I repeated, sniggering and enjoying her confusion. 'Aha! I'll tell mamma!
But when he threw a stone at it, it caught its tail in its mouth, and trundled away like a wheel. Again there was a giggling and a sniggering among the bushes. And now he heard it among some birch trees which stood in such a wonderful sunlight, for they were filled with the rain and fine drizzle of a waterfall.
Bolton, after admonishing Betsy-Jane, said, "Lor sir how very odd that we should meet you year! I ope you ave your ealth well, sir. Ain't it odd, Fanny, that we should meet Mr. Pendennis?" What do you mean by sniggering, Mesdames? When young Croesus has been staying at a country-house, have you never, by any singular coincidence, been walking with your Fanny in the shrubberies?
"My mates at whoam, though, names me, and the folk in Lancacheer tew, `Joey the moucher." "Oh, then, Master Joey, you'll find you can't mooch here, my lad," retorted Old Jock, glad of the opportunity of having one of his personal jokes, and sniggering and snorting over it in fine glee.
