Scarcely had the words fallen from my lips when she dropped upon her hands and knees, and backing up to the old man squealed like a demon and delivered a vicious kick upon his shin! An instant later he was himself down on all-fours, headed away from her and flinging his feet at her simultaneously and successively.
"My kitty had a fit," observed Winnie, the first pause he could find. "And there are some letters for father," from Tom. "Patty has a new beau," interrupted Gypsy. "It was an awfully fit," put in Winnie, undiscouraged; "she rolled under the stove, 'n' tell you she squealed, and——" "How is uncle?" asked Tom, and it was the first time any one had thought to ask.
He was careful to keep away from the muskrat, for, in spite of her soft name, Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy had very sharp teeth. "Come on, now; get right out of here!" the nurse said again, but the ferret would not go. He wanted to catch the rabbits. Then the muskrat jumped right up on his back and bit him quite hard on one of his little ears. The ferret squealed at this.
He knew, now, what made the little, pudgy, white strangers look so queer. There wasn't one of them that had even a hint of a tail! Then all at once Grunty turned angrily upon old dog Spot. "These aren't pigs!" he squealed. "You needn't think you can fool me. They're not pigs at all." "Oh, yes they are!" Spot insisted.
And maybe I wasn't proud and happy when I saw myself in the mirror! They just make my costume, and they made a world of difference in my comfort when we went out into the icy air again.

The light tanks were scurrying along the single village street. Horsemen raced here and there. A pig squealed. There was a shot. The tanks emerged from the other side. They went crawling swiftly toward the south. But they did not turn aside where the villagers had. They headed along the way Coburn had driven to Ardea.

On'y one laig, says dat scar't yaller gal, an' ter clinch it she added, 'All yo' geese dat a-ways, Mars' Colby. Dey all ain' got but one laig." "Oh!" squealed Dot. "Was it sure enough so, Uncle Rufus?" asked Tess, in awe. "Yo' wait! yo' wait, chillen!
And I, too, tottered as I walked, so that the guards helped to lead me across that sun-blinding patch of yard. And Skysail Jack and I peered and knew each other under the wreckage. Men such as he are privileged, even in a prison, so that he dared an infraction of the rules by speaking to me in a cracked and quavering voice. "You're a good one, Standing," he cackled. "You never squealed."
Then, one crisp December morning, Bonfire, once more in the pink of condition, was hooked up with Topsy to the pole of a shining, rubber-tired brougham and taken around to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Jerry. "Oh, isn't he a beauty, Dan!" squealed Mrs. Jerry delightedly, as Bonfire danced up to the curb. "Isn't he?" Dan, trained to silence, touched his hat. Mrs.
