The beak looked up with offended dignity, and, in spite of a mighty effort, fell a sniggering. For following Andrew's eyes he saw two gig umbrellas gliding erect and peaceful side by side among the pits. "What on earth are they?" "Chinamen, captain. They are too lazy to dig.

Ready to buy and pay cash down?" Orlando Guise giggled. "What are you sniggering at?" snorted the old man. "I thought it was understood that if I liked the bunch I was to pay cash," Orlando replied.
Your German aristocracy can't consort on terms of equality with any other Upper Ten Thousand. They swagger and bluff about the world, but they know very well that the world's sniggering at them.

My client will tell your Ludship that these so-called insults consisted in her calling him 'the limit', a very mild expression, I venture to suggest, in all the circumstances."
At that very moment Nana descended the three steps. She grew very pale when she noticed Muffat. "Oh, it's you!" she stammered. The sniggering extra ladies were quite frightened when they recognized her, and they formed in line and stood up, looking as stiff and serious as servants whom their mistress has caught behaving badly.
For when people went slapping their thighs and sniggering about the young would-be priest that had turned out a beggar, Klaus felt he would like to give the lot of them a darned good hammering. So the two sixteen-year-old boys wandered up and down talking, and in the days to come Peer never forgot how his old accomplice in the shark-fishing had stood by him now. "Do like me," urged Klaus.
