I have not life enough for two; I wish I had. It is not very enlivening to meet a fellow-creature whose expression and accents say, "You are the hair that breaks the camel's back of my endurance, you are the last drop that makes my cup of woe run over"; persons whose heads drop on one side like those of toothless infants, whose voices recall the tones in which our old snuffling choir used to wail out the verses of: "Life is the time to serve the Lord."
At this moment the baying of the hound was heard, apparently in close proximity to the hovel, and presently there was a heavy breathing and snuffling at the threshold, followed by a bound against the door, and a howl of rage and impatience.
Mr Daisy stopped to take a whiff at his pipe, which was going out, and then proceeded at first in a snuffling tone, occasioned by keen enjoyment of the tobacco and strong pulling at the pipe, and afterwards with increasing distinctness: Bringing with him two women servants, and his steward, and a gardener. The rest stopped behind up in London, and were to follow next day.
Then the drums began to beat as formerly, the Nationals to get under arms, the clergymen were sent for and went, and presently yes, there was the tall cross-bearer at the head of the procession, and they came BACK! They chanted something in a weak, snuffling, lugubrious manner, to the melancholy bray of a serpent. Crash! however, Mr.
"Have you made your will?" The other, turning pale, shook his head. "Perhaps you'd like to see a solicitor?" said Carson, in winning tones. "I'm not bad enough for that," said the skipper, stoutly. "You must stay here and nurse the skipper, Mr. Mackenzie," said Carson, turning to the mate; "and be good enough not to make that snuffling noise; it's worrying to an invalid."
The quartet, snuffling and reluctant, was dragged ignominously to the middle of the floor and there confessed, 'mid tears and much recrimination, that they had been peeping down at the "comp'ny" through various knot-holes in the chamber floor; that, as Sary's knot-hole was next the wall, her range of vision was restricted to the thin spot upon the crown of J. G.'s head, and the back of his neck.
Sol was wakened by the snuffling noise that a cow makes when it is eating the grass and by the sound of the grass being bitten off. And he started up, thinking of the farm at home, and there was a cow almost near enough to touch. When he started up, the cow was frightened and galloped off, and Sol saw that the sun was up and it must be about six o'clock.
He was not a fighter when it came fang-to-fang, unless cornered and so fierce and sudden was Baree's assault that Napakasew took to flight almost as quickly as he had begun his attack on Umisk. Baree did not follow him, but went to Umisk, who lay half in the mud, whimpering and snuffling in a curious sort of way.
Oh, my nose, how it does hurt!" he added, covering the swollen organ with his hand, and speaking in a snuffling tone. "I shall aim straight at old Eely's snub all the time, so as to make it twice as big as mine is. He will be so mad, for he's as proud of himself as a peacock, and thinks he's handsome. What do you think he does?" "I don't know," I said.
In a few minutes he reached the place referred to; when the snuffling of his canine companion causing him to look down, his attention instantly became fixed upon the foot-prints of the horses which had passed there the day before, and particularly on the two that had repassed there so lately. "What is it, Cæsar?" said he, addressing the brute. "Nothing wrong here, I reckon."
