His coarse face had a smile on it as vicious as the snarl of a tiger. He put up his hand in a gesture of command.

What do you mean?" cried the manager of the restaurant, still several yards away.
But they give eclat to the house, and eclat is money. That's it, sir! Gold is the deity of our pantheon! I've shut up the great Italian opera, with its three squalling prima donnas, which in turn has shut up the poor, silly Empresario as they call him; and the St. Cecilia I have just used up. I'm a team in my way, you see; run all these fashionable oppositions right into bankruptcy."

The one man took the lady, the other the estate. Now, Mr.
But just then there came from the smoke-blackened kitchen, where the walls were bright with the colored prints of Epinal, a sound of voices and the squalling of a girl who submits, not unwillingly, to be tousled.

Some poor dog among us marries, and household plebeianisms corrupt the most refined. Custom attaches the creature to his ugly wife and his squalling children; he grows affectionate, and becomes out of fashion.

Showmen's vans, with pictures outside of unknown monsters; merry-go-rounds, nut stalls, gingerbread stalls, cheap Jacks, and latterly photographic "studios"; behind all these the alehouse; the beating of drums and the squalling of pigs, the blowing of horns, and the neighing of horses trotted out for show, the roar of a rude crowd these constitute a country fair.
Keeping a sharp lookout, he by and by detected something moving among the water grasses a little way ahead, and heard a hoarse, squalling "Quack! quack!" Immediately afterwards a flock of half a dozen ducks sailed forth from their shelter, nodding and quacking inquisitively.
Brave soldiers term it no disgrace to receive a blow from a base hind. An' it had been knights and gentles who had insulted thee, thou mightest have cause for shame. But a mob of lewd rascallions and squalling infants bah! verily, it is mere matter for scorn and laughter." These philosophical propositions and distinctions did not seem to have their due effect upon Adam.
The sun rose in a clear, straw-colored sky. It was cold; the ground was frozen, and there was skating on the small ponds. Red squirrels were scolding on the borders of the wood-lots, and blue jays came squalling into the orchards. "This is a weather-breeder," grandmother remarked at breakfast.
