If he ever had slapped me on the back and snivelled over me like I've seen men do to what they called their friends, I know I'd have had a rough-and-tumble with him on the spot. Same way with George. He hated my ways as bad as I did his.
Presently Evelyn rose and went over to her sister, and laid her cheek alongside hers and kissed her. "Don't, sister," she whispered. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to be cross. I suppose you were right not to go, only I did want to." Evelyn snivelled a little. "I know he was hurt, too," she said. Maria raised her head and wiped her eyes. "I did not think it was best," she said yet again.
The cowed audience watched her wonderfully; some of the women snivelled. The white monks, the singing boys, the banners and tapers, Ceremoniar, Deacon, Subdeacon, the vested Abbot himself, passed like a shining cloud through the nave. All their light came from the Chained Virgin of Saint Thorn. And then the Mass began. There was a ring of hoofs outside, but no one looked round, and none came in.
"Yes," snivelled Joe; "but Anderson's dog had a k-k-k-angaroo bailed up." "DAMN you, be off out of this!" And Dad aimed a block of wood at Joe which struck him on the back as he made away.

"I came over so you could see me in my uniform," he explained; "and I'm going back right away to see mother and Paige and Marye and Camilla." He paused, sandwich suspended, then swallowed what he had been chewing and took another bite, recklessly. "I'm very fond of Camilla," he said condescendingly. "She's very nice about my going the only one who hasn't snivelled.
"I doubt it," said René de Montigny drily, and then he sighed a little. "Poor Abbess!" Sudden tears smeared Tabarie's fat cheeks. "She was a brave wench if ever," he snivelled. "Through wellfare or illfare she was always the same, and would share board and blanket with a friend though his pouch were as barren as Sarah's body."
All that day he staggered forward, till in the evening he came to the kloof, and being quite exhausted, knelt upon the flat stone to pray, as he had been taught to do, and there Suzanne found him. Such was the story, and so piteous it seemed to us that we wept as we listened, yes, even Jan wept, and the tutor snivelled and wiped his weak eyes.
"Well, youngsters, I'd have you to know that I don't allow fighting aboard my ship, and when I say a thing I mean a thing. There!" "But, sir," snivelled Weeks, beginning some explanation, intended no doubt to throw all the blame on me. "Graham " Captain Gillespie, however, interrupted him before he could proceed any further. "You'd better not say anything, Weeks," said the captain.
There was the superior being, his back to the fire and his legs apart formidable! She curtsied another sin according to the new code. Then she discovered that she was inarticulate. "Well?" Words burst from her "Her's crying her eyes out up yon, mester." And Mrs. Tams also snivelled. The superior being frowned and said testily, yet not without a touch of careless toleration
White. Tears of emotion actually filled her eyes and mingled with the rheum of her cold. She took out her moist ball of handkerchief again and dabbed both her eyes and nose. Lillian looked at her half amusedly, half affectionately. "Mother, you do beat the Dutch," said she. Mrs. White actually snivelled.
