He gripped her arm and was about to speak when suddenly the forest on every side of them resounded to a pandemonium of noise: a chorus of wild shrieks, shots, the crashing of trampled undergrowth, the death-yells of men amid the savage screams and fierce trumpetings of a herd of elephants. "Oh, what's that? What terrible thing is happening?" cried the girl.
"Isn't this burglary or something, Bubbles?" "Settle that when he's caught," said Sir Christopher. "We're responsible for the beast." A furious clanging of bells broke out of the empty house, followed by muffed gurglings and trumpetings. "What the deuce is that?" I asked, half aloud. "The plumbing, of course," said Penfentenyou. "What a pity!
And I braced myself to withstand the shock, and took fresh grip upon the woman who lay against my breast. But with louder screams and wilder trumpetings the mammoth held straight on, and presently came to the harbour's edge, and sent the spray sparkling in sheets amongst the sunshine as it went with its clumsy gait into the water. But at this point the pace was very quickly slackened.
Twice he essayed the feat, each time with the same result. The bay was dancing further away each time, and the elephants were getting nearer. The uproar was deafening, which, with the trumpetings of the frightened elephants, made the stoutest hearts quail. With a grim determination Forrest once more charged alongside of Dimples.
And, it seemed, he must have filled up his time at Dover with trumpetings of our importance: for the landlord welcomed us on the perron, obsequiously cringing; we entered in a respectful hush that might have flattered his Grace of Wellington himself; and the waiters, I believe, would have gone on all-fours, but for the difficulty of reconciling that posture with efficient service.
At his big grocery store wholesale and retail he sat morosely in his office, brooding over the disgrace and the danger of deeper disgrace for he saw what a hold the baby already had upon his wife. He was ashamed to appear in the streets; he knew what was going on behind the sympathetic faces, heard the whisperings as if they had been trumpetings.
So afraid was he that he did not like the sight of it in its anger, and would wake at nights at the sound of a storm yes, he whom I have seen sleep through the trumpetings of frightened elephants and the shouting of a Zulu impi. "You think that sight fine, wife," he said, pointing to the spouting foam; "but I call it the ugliest in the world.
Get up and get busy; Each, Do and Dare." Each Grace went her way a riding her mare. Hope rode on Hopings. Miss Faith rode her Prayer. Still they ride on and at Charity glare; Her Wedding took place 'mid trumpetings blare. The Moral is plain and not at all rare. Just praying and hoping failed for that pair. Be Up and Be Doing. Yourself never Tare, If ever a Husband you wish to ensnare.
The shrieks and trumpetings, and the crashing of the boughs so near to them, were now deafening; and the danger was equally great. The Major had but just levelled his other rifle when the dense foliage close to him opened as if by magic, and the head of a large female presented itself within four yards of him.
We pushed on, not troubling ourselves very much now as to whether or not we made any noise, for the forest was fairly ringing with the squeals and trumpetings of the contending beasts; and presently we caught an occasional fleeting glimpse, through the interlacing foliage, of their twisting and rushing bodies as they moved hither and thither.
