Thus far Amasis had listened to these revilings of all he held dearest in silence, though pale, and trembling with rage; but now he broke forth in a voice, the trumpet-like sound of which pealed through the wide hall: "Know'st thou not then, thou boasting and revengeful son of evil, thou future destroyer of this ancient and glorious kingdom, know'st thou not whose life must be the sacrifice, were not my children, and the dynasty which I have founded, dearer to me than the welfare of the whole realm?
But above the fierce clamour rose at intervals, like some hero's war-cry in battle, the trumpet-like voice of the Burgundian soldier shouting lustily, "Courage, camarades, le diable est mort!" Entered grisly Ganymede holding in his hand a wooden dish with circles and semicircles marked on it in chalk.
"Men of Dunchester," he said in such trumpet-like and thrilling tones that every face of the multitude gathered there was turned upon him, "Dr. Therne in answer to my questions refers to his well-known views, and says that he has found no reason to change them. His views are that vaccination is useless and even mischievous, and by preaching them he has prevented thousands from being vaccinated.
The long trumpet-like bay, heard for a mile or more, now faintly back in the deep recesses of the mountain, now distinct, but still faint, as the hound comes over some prominent point and the wind favors, anon entirely lost in the gully, then breaking out again much nearer, and growing more and more pronounced as the dog approaches, till, when he comes around the brow of the mountain, directly above you, the barking is loud and sharp.
I'm going to make Mary's dreams come true. There ain't no better blood in the world, Paul, than you an' me have got in our veins an' I'm goin' to see that we get what we're entitled to." Paul's pale cheeks colored for an instant and something deep within him stirred in response to the trumpet-like confidence of the voice which spoke with such assurance of the absurdly impossible.
The tiny wood-mouse scampers gleefully in the dead leaves, but above him and about him are a dozen dangers. The nervous cottontail sits erect upon his haunches, his nose twitches and his large trumpet-like ears are turned this way and that to catch the slightest sound.
"Hyar Moze get out of that. Catch him hold him! Damn these rotten limbs. Hand me a pole Jones, back down back down! he's comin' Hi! Hi! Whoop! Boo o! There now you've got him! No, no; it slipped! Now! Look out, Jim, from under he's going to jump!" A smashing and rattling of loose stones and a fiery burst of yelps with trumpet-like yells followed close upon Jones' last words.
It was the trumpet-like baying of a hound! I stood bent, and listening; I heard it again. There was no mistaking that note. I had the ears of a hunter. I knew the music well. Oh, how unlike to music then! It fell upon my ears like a cry of vengeance like a knell of death! I thought no longer of repeating the signal; even if heard, it would be too late. I flung the reed away, as a useless toy.
But surely these small voices, shrill and trumpet-like, did not come from the stars! these deep whispers that ran round the immense vault overhead and sounded almost familiarly in his ears "Give it him the moment he wakes." "Bring the ice-bag ... quick!" "Put the hot bottle to his feet IMMEDIATELY!"
While the other men on the three-master were working with poles and boat hooks to free their vessel from the steamer, the man with the red beard could think of nothing but the little cabin boy, for whom he had evidently conceived an extraordinary pity. He put his hands to his mouth, trumpet-like, and called: "Come over here, come over here!"
