She flew up with the older fowls and fluttered and lurched and squawked and pushed on first one branch and then another, while the Chickens were walking up a slanting board that the farmer had placed against one of the lower branches. It always takes fowls a long time to settle themselves for the night.
The guinea-hens set up a deafening potracking, and the cooped fowls squawked and flapped. Above all the noise they made rose the bloodhound's note. It was done so quickly, it was so inevitable, that Peter could only stand and blink. He thought, sickly, that the very earth should shudder away from the soiling touch of that appalling carrion.
And without waiting for any reply, he said, "I crowed to let Farmer Green know it was going to rain to-morrow." Of course Henrietta Hen had to have the last word. The Rooster might have known she would. "Then," she observed, "I suppose you squawked to let him know there was a skunk in the henhouse." Something was troubling Henrietta Hen. She seemed to have some secret sorrow.
"My most heartfelt thanks to you, Cap'n!" he greeted his parrot. "If you had not squawked last night and so frightened the murderer that he made the vital error of covering your cage, I should never have annoyed you again with my Sherlock ruminations on cases which do not interest you in the slightest."

"Great Juniper!" squawked Ephraim Gallup, flourishing his arms with a wild gesture of delight. "It's Buck it's old Buck, by gum!" "Hooroo, Badger, me bhoy!" laughed Barney. "Wherever did yez come from so suddint, Oi dunno?" "In truth, it is my old college mate from Kansas!" breathed Carker.
Ever since he got here you've done nothing but jump all over him and try to rile him, and he never squawked once came up smiling every time. He's a thoroughbred that's what he is!" The days that followed were burdened with a sadness the coterie could not shake off. Whatever they had laughed at and derided in Joplin they now longed for.
He was so afraid that somebody would get his morsel away from him that he swallowed it whole, boiling hot syrup and all! He thought it was worse than the red pepper and the gold paint he had taken that morning. He opened his bill wide and squawked with pain, and his eyes looked wild. The children rolled on the ground with laughter.
I'd married him up the line, I disremember anyhow, 'fore I'd drapped down to Cairo, I knowed he'd neveh do, nohow, so I left him up the bank between Columbus an' Hickman law me, how he squawked! Down by Tiptonville, where I'd landed, they was a real nice feller, Mr. Dickman. Well, we kind of co'ted along down, one place an anotheh, an' he wanted to git married.
