'Let her off out o' the wind. We'll be makin' for Harbour Round for shelter. Holdin' on, did you say? My dear man, they's a whirlwind brewin'! "But if 'twas blowin' hard a nor'east snorter, with the gale raisin' a wind-lop on the swell, an' the night comin' down if 'twas blowin' barb'rous hard, sometimes we'd get scared. "'Skipper, we couldn't help sayin', ''tis time t' get out o' this.
At the next fence a regular snorter of a 'post and rail' topped with brushwood two horses swerve, one rider being deposited on his racing seat upon mother earth, while the other sails away across country in a line for home, and is next heard of at the stables.
I can't remember ever having met a better right-and-left-hand snorter. "What do you mean, 'home truths'? I'm not fat." "No, no." "And what's wrong with the colour of my hair?" "Quite in order, Tuppy, old man. The hair, I mean." "And I'm not a bit thin on the top.... What the dickens are you grinning about?" "Not grinning. Just smiling slightly.
A vulgar mind, in reply to these remarks regarding the gastronomic ignorance of Snorter and Pogson, might say, "True, these gentlemen know nothing of household economy, being occupied with other more important business elsewhere.

White Mason was a quiet, comfortable-looking person in a loose tweed suit, with a clean-shaved, ruddy face, a stoutish body, and powerful bandy legs adorned with gaiters, looking like a small farmer, a retired gamekeeper, or anything upon earth except a very favourable specimen of the provincial criminal officer. "A real downright snorter, Mr. MacDonald!" he kept repeating.
We would think the whole thing had been fixed up for theatrical effect if there wasn't a dead man in the middle of it. My word! it is a snorter." "Your friend seems to be no fool," remarked Holmes. "No, sir, White Mason is a very live man, if I am any judge." "Well, have you anything more?" "Only that he will give us every detail when we meet." "Then how did you get at Mr.
Porter, And on her daughter, A regular snorter; She has washed her neck in dirty water, She didn't oughter, The dirty cat."

How can Alderman Pogson know anything beyond the fact that venison is good with currant jelly, and that he likes lots of green fat with his turtle?
The mother hesitated, and the boy urged, "They say that strange man well, some calls him the Snorter and some the Exhorter is goin' to preach." The mother was still silent, and the boy faltered on: "He dresses like the people do Over-the-Mountains, and he wears his hair down his back " The mother gasped.
