"Well," I replied, "as she probably will reduce many persons to the same degraded state, her partaking of it won't stand out so much." "If you mean that the world's full of twaddlers I quite agree with you!" cried Mrs. Meldrum, trumpeting her laugh half across the Channel.
Somewhat as, when beneath the stars the great tent had been struck, and the lions were growling in their vans, and the horses were pawing the stamped grass and whinnying, and the elephants trumpeting, Zuleika's mother may often have felt within her a wan exhilaration, so now did the heart of that mother's child rise and flutter amidst the familiar bustle of "being off."
"I am going to push you out on the lot, and there horses will be hitched to your cage and you will be given a ride." "Well, I hope the ride will be nice," said the lion. "You'll like it," said Tum Tum, trumpeting through his trunk. Pretty soon Nero found himself, in his cage, out in the bright sunshine.
Although taken in flank, crushed under a storm of missiles, with their cavalry defeated and their centre broken, the Romans fought steadily and well. Hannibal now launched against their ranks the elephants attached to the infantry, which, covered in steel armour and trumpeting loudly, carried death and confusion into the Roman ranks.
The tusks were too valuable to be left, so we immediately set to work to cut them from the heads of the animals. "Pity Bakeles no know of dis," said Chickango. "Dey come and have great feast, and t'ank us." Stanley and our Portuguese friend told me that they had been directed towards the spot on hearing our first shot, and that then the trumpeting of the elephants had reached their ears.
The next instant, with clashing tusks, the boar drove past underneath. He had recovered from his surprise and sprung forward, emitting a squeal that was almost a trumpeting. At any rate it was a call, for it was followed by the rushing of bodies through the ferns and brush from all directions. From every side wild hogs dashed into the open space a score of them.
Never in all his life not even when the trunk of the elephant was trumpeting at his tail had Fritz so sensibly felt the want of wings.
From a small opening on the south of the lodge she could see the snow swirling along the shore of the lake and piling up in long drifts against several fallen trees. It was good to be in such a cosy place where she could watch unharmed the trumpeting legions of the great nor'easter. All through the day the storm continued, and night brought no abatement.
It was not so with my friend, who was only unsettled and discouraged, and filled full of that trumpeting anger with which young men regard injustices in the first blush of youth; although in a few years they will tamely acquiesce in their existence, and knowingly profit by their complications. Yet all this while he suffered many indignant pangs.
Checked in her rush, she backed towards the dense jungle, throwing her trunk about and trumpeting with rage. The only effect was a decisive charge; but before I fired my last barrel, Jali rushed in, and, with one blow of his sharp sword, severed the back sinew. She was utterly helpless in the same instant. Bravo, Jali!
