He let his chances slip by as he lay in the lap of opera-girls, or snivelled at the knees of priests asking pardon; and the blood of heroes, and the devotedness of honest hearts, and endurance, courage, fidelity, were all spent for him in vain.
Little Tommy Blake, who had fallen over while napping and hit his nose, snivelled under his breath. Madeline Brand, as she sat at the melodeon below the minister's desk, stifled a small yawn with her pretty fingers.
"O-o-h, will they?" snivelled the old chap, refusing to be comforted, like a veritable Rachel mourning for her children. "We may possibly get rid of the water below, but the crosshead bearings are working loose, and I'd like to know who's going to give me a new gudgeon pin?"
"I have heard much of the virtues of the Highlanders of late, but this surprises me." "Hoots! Murderers?" she cried. "No such silly Saxon whimsies. They've got as many virtues as any Englisher that ever snivelled prayer and shortened yardstick. Murderers! Hoots, my mannie! Just removers of difficulties!"
"And to-morrow morning you just step around lively and pick 'em all up and carry 'em out doors," said Ben, before turning over for another nap. "Good night, Polly." "Good night, Ben," said Polly, softly, going downstairs after Davie, who was pattering ahead, "and good night, Joey." "Good night," snivelled Joel. "O dear me, I don't want Dave to go.
"N-no; I'm quite sure I'll never see you again," returned the boy, giving way to the sobs which he could not restrain. "M-mother says we will never come back again, n-never, never more " He broke down entirely at this point, and a few silent tears trickled over the kind old face of Nell. Natty was too much of a man to give way out and out, but he snivelled a little in spite of himself.
"Please, sir, I ain't a-doing nothink," snivelled the lad, screwing his knuckles into his eyes, as if preparing to cry, each word being sandwiched between a sob and a sniff. "I ain't a-doing nothink!" "Doing nothing?" echoed the Captain indignantly, overcome apparently by the enormity of the culprit's offence.
Did you wait long, you poor boy?" "Man is born to wait. I came back just now to find you.... I told Kathleen," he added, radiant. "What?" she whispered, flushing deliciously. "Oh, pooh! I told her about it this morning the very first thing. We both snivelled. I didn't sleep at all last night.... There's something I wish to tell you "
The big girls whispered together and said they would not put up with Sister Marie-Aimée. The little ones snivelled as though they were going into danger. Ismérie, whom I was carrying upstairs on my back, was crying noisily. Her little fingers hurt my throat, and her tears fell down my neck.
I was pathetic on the subject of Dick, and our comradeship, which must be broken by the dear boy's marriage, and as Sir L. was suffering himself, he was in just the right mood to sympathize with me. I snivelled a little; and at last, emboldened by success, I allowed him to gather that there was someone I'd cared for a long, long time someone who didn't care for me.
