Do you think she had better try this evening or go after the big duck?" "Pen-ni-chah," said the Seminole quietly. "He says, 'turkey-gobbler," whispered Shiela to Hamil; "'pen-nit-kee' is the word for hen turkey. Oh, I hope I have a chance. You'll pair with me, won't you?" "Of course." Cardross, listening, smiled. "Is it yelping or roosting, Little Tiger?" "Roost um pen-ni-chah, aw-tee-tus-chee.
On a few of the streams log-dams were built, and tub-mills started. In Harrodsburg a toll mill was built in 1779. The owner used to start it grinding, and then go about his other business; once on returning he found a large wild turkey-gobbler so busily breakfasting out of the hopper that he was able to creep quietly up and catch him with his hands.
A sickening disgust overwhelmed me. And there would be no Lady Tilchester to save me to-night! "Open the window," I said to Atkinson, "and persuade Mr. Gurrage to go to bed when he wakes." And I left the room. All my guests were assembled when I got into the first drawing-room. Indeed, it was twenty minutes to nine. Mrs. Dodd had the air of an aggrieved turkey-gobbler.
From which significant response, followed by an apt imitation of a turkey-gobbler, the boys understood that he had some device for obtaining poultry for dinner. It was a holiday, and I have said, and they had already got permission to go beyond the lines. There were some twenty of them in all, Frank included. Tucket led them to a thicket about two miles from camp, where they halted.

All the dogs congregated, some of them climbing over the fence to investigate the colt, which was skittish under the ordeal. Even the turkey-gobbler, strutting on the outskirts of the assemblage, had an attentive aspect, as if he, too, relished the gossip. Mrs. Griggs's pink calico sunbonnet surmounted the cap with the explanatory ruffle.
The contempt of that large-minded gentleman is so wilting, his haughty disdain, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic supereminent, overpowering turkey-gobbler strut, has been so crushing to myself and all the members of this House that I know it was an act of the greatest temerity for me to enter upon a controversy with him."

With her head close to the ground, she once more attempts to lead you from her children.
He had contemptuously referred to Conkling's "haughty disdain, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic, supereminent, overpowering, turkey-gobbler strut." Accordingly when Garfield disregarded Conkling's wishes in regard to the representation which New York should have in the cabinet, Conkling laid the blame upon his old enemy.
His eyes were dancing, and there was a flush in his cheeks that did not even confine itself to that portion of his round face, for Big Bob was as red as a turkey-gobbler strutting up and down the barnyard to the admiration of his many wives.
