I have known old lawyers to blush when put upon the witness stand and obliged to tell their names to the court and jury, all of whom had known them for the last fifty years! If such is the effect on a dry old stump of a lawyer, what must the effect be on a green, sensitive child? "Dodd" heard the titter and it made him mad.
"Sir Morton Pippitt!" echoed Maryllia disdainfully; "What has he to do with me or my property?" Here she suddenly spied Walden, who, in his eagerness to hear every word that passed had, unconsciously to himself, moved well out of the sheltering shadow of the trees "Are YOU Sir Morton Pippitt?" A broad grin, deepening into a scarcely suppressed titter, Went the round of the gaping young rustics.
It was against my principles, but I find that principles have no real force except when one is well fed.... She came curtained in boughs and bunches of leaves, and when I asked her what she meant by such nonsense, and snatched them away and threw them down, she tittered and blushed. I had never seen a person titter and blush before, and to me it seemed unbecoming and idiotic.
A form being handy, we could, as an alternative, have hung Patient No. 1 over it, head downwards." But at this point, unfortunately, the humour of the situation became too much for Miss Gertrude Hansombody, another of the students. She began to titter, went on to laugh uncontrollably, then to clench her hands and sob. "Subject: Hysterics!" called the lecturer.
Then Miss Spence said, in a favourable manner: "Georgie Bassett, you may read your letter next." The neat Georgie rose, nothing loath, and began: "'Dear Teacher " There was a slight titter, which Miss Spence suppressed. Georgie was not at all discomfited. "'My mother says," he continued, reading his manuscript, "'we should treat our teacher as a friend, and so I will write YOU a letter."
The first night, as usual, he knelt down to say his prayers. He hadn't been long on his knees, before he was interrupted by a suppressed titter, which soon broke into a peal of laughter from all hands, and several shoes came flying about him. He knelt on, however, trying to keep his thoughts calm, and his heart lifted up to God.
A ripple of amusement passed through the audience, and she looked around to see what the gnomes were up to, but they were going off the stage, and the suppressed titter continued. A soft whistle sounded in the wings, and with a furiously beating heart, she slid down from her high stump and ambled down to the footlights.
Now was the psychological moment, and after a soul-stirring hymn the preacher rose and announced his text "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Someone in the back part of the church suggested trinity as a substitute and started a titter, but the preacher had already got his dramatic momentum, and was sweeping along in a tumultuous tide of oratory.
You heard anything about it, mother Sheridan?" "Well, I DID know they been doin' their own house-work a good while back," said Mrs. Sheridan. "And now they're doin' the cookin', too." Sibyl sent forth a little titter with a sharp edge. "I hope they find something to cook! She sold her piano mighty quick after Jim died!" Bibbs jumped up.
At the same time, when Will stumbled as he alighted on his weary feet, they were guilty of an inclination to titter, though the accident was excusable, and the point of the joke small. "You are very polite, sirs," protested Cambridge, making round eyes, and reddening and blowing at being constituted the mouthpiece of the party on any interest save that of victuals.
