"I am but where, which side, where is he?" Again Nan's big dark eyes slowly peered over the top of the blind and the eagle's feather in her hat moved. With a sharp cry the duck swung out of range and was gone. "Oh, Jim, I didn't do that. I declare I didn't move! He squawked just for nothing and flew away." "Yes, of course, he dreamed he saw an eagle after him.
By the time he had the Million necessary for the support of a suitable and well-recommended Lady, he was too busy to go chasing and too foxy to split his Pile with a rank Outsider. His Motor-Car squawked at the Sparrow Cops when they waved their Arms. The engineer who pulled the Private Car always had his Orders to hit it up.
Over the corroded iron rocks strata of red earth and deeper crimson ore ran like the streaky stains of monstrous and unhuman murders committed in aeons past. Not a particle of vegetation was visible; there were no lichens nor starry flowers. There was no life save that of the black birds which winged restlessly about the sky and squawked in grotesque mockery at the region and its doom.
The man in the crowd yelped again, encouraged by his distance and by Morrison's passivity under attack. "You think you own a mill. Your honest workmen own it. You are a thief!" "My Gawd!" Lanigan squawked, hoarsely. "Ain't it in you? Ain't a spark of it in you?" Morrison delivered sharp retort in an undertone. "Don't you know better than to tangle my lines when I'm playing a fish?

The moment he saw the monkey I'd brought down as a surprise for you he squawked out 'Rats to you, sir! and the blessed monkey made one spring at him, got him by the neck and whirled him round like a rattle. He was as dead as mutton by the time I'd got him out of the little beggar's paws.
Hens and pullets, overcome by vertigo, squawked and pecked frantically at one another. My companion called my attention to dead, plucked chickens hanging beside their living sisters. My heart swells at these memories. An infinite pity overcomes me. Oh poet, receive these poor suffering beasts into your soul. Let them warm themselves, and live there in eternal joy.
Verman was almost unendurable after this, but, like many, many other managers, Schofield and Williams restrained their choler, and even laughed fulsomely when their principal attraction essayed the role of a comedian in private, and capered and squawked in sheer, fatuous vanity.
And he came at her to swallow her at once. But again the Hen squawked, "O Brother, don't!" Again the Crocodile paused, thunderstruck by this extraordinary word. "Oh, bother the Hen!" he cried, "what can she mean, really? How can I be her brother? She lives in a town on the land, and I live in my kingdom of mud and water. How could two creatures possibly be more unlike?
So it was no wonder that Mr. Crow's words stung them. Nimble charged more fiercely than ever. And Dodger stood his ground. With his feet planted firmly beneath him he waited for the blow. There was a crack and a thud. "Ha!" Mr. Crow squawked. "That's a little more like it. Dodger didn't dodge that time, to be sure. But he stood still. And only a Spike Horn would stand and wait for the enemy."
He squawked the horn to attract her attention, and caused a wave of turbulence among the horses that made more than one of his men say unpleasant things about him. Mary V looked back, and he beckoned with one sweeping gesture that could scarcely be mistaken.
