She bent over him. "Oh, poor Columbus! He's so bored! Do you want to go home, my Christopher?" "Poor chap!" said Dick. "It is rather hard to be dragged away on someone else's honeymoon whether you want to or not. Had enough of it, eh? Think it's high time we took the missis home?" Columbus snuffled into his hand, and wagged himself from the tail upwards.
What next, Juggut Khan?" But Juggut Khan was bending down, and listening at the hole laid bare by the huge hinged trap. "Silence!" commanded Brown. The men held their breath, even, but not a sound came up from the darkness down below. "Are they dead, d'you suppose?" asked Brown. And, even as he asked it, some one in the darkness snuffled, and he heard a woman's voice that moaned. "Snff-snff-snff!
Then the gates were lifted up by the chains, and the lions came in to devour me according to their custom." "And what happened next, Shadrach?" "What happened? Why, of course I hid myself in the shadow as much as possible, right against the walls of the precipice, until a satan of a she-lion snuffled me out and gave a stroke at me.
Rooney's eyes as she reeled backward on the floor. "Take that, you owld faggot!" cried Matty, as she shook Mrs. Rooney's tributary claret from the knuckles which had so scientifically tapped it, and wiped her hand in her apron. The old woman roared "millia' murthur" on the floor, and snuffled out a deprecatory question "if that was the proper way to be received in her son's house."
"Oh, ter dash with the thing!" he exclaimed mournfully, and kicked a root, and lifted his face to the patch of blue sky above and snuffled. Marion's heart dissolved. She could not let this poor stupid thing suffer an ache which she was prevented from relieving only by a fear of rudeness which was probably quite unjustified. "George!" she called softly, staying among the branches.
"A party of three, so I hear from Miss Moulden's maid, which is niece to Mrs Grimley: a widow," here the speaker snuffled slightly "and two childer like me." "Go on!" said Jemima. "Any more about them, ma?" "Well, my dear, I do hear as they 'ave come down a bit."

On one side she feared Gilles, on the other scorned what he could do. There was the leper! He made Gilles terrible; even her sacrifice on Lebanon might not avail against such as he. But King Richard! But this strong singer! But this god of war!
I understand; I understand. It may be that God, in his mercy, did not wish the death of that evil man not yet, perhaps. Let us submit. He may repent." He snuffled aloud. "I think of that poor child," he said through his handkerchief. Then, pressing my arm with his vigorous fingers, he murmured, "I fear for her reason." It may be imagined in what state I spent the rest of that sleepless night.
Tregenza was in sorry, snappy case all day. The blow had fallen, and within a fort-night Tom would go to sea. This dismal fact depressed her not a little, and she snuffled over her ironing, and her voice grated worse than usual upon the ear. "He's such a hot-headed twoad of a bwoy. I knaw he'll never get on 'pon the water.
