The crush was over, for here the crowd could spread abroad; but the uproarious troop, which she did not even dare to look at, came rushing past quite close to them.

"Do you mean to say he wanted " "I tell you I saw it with my own eyes." "And she refused?" "Because the Prussian was in the next room." "It is incredible." "As true as I stand here!"
Last winter, at Chaucer's dinner to Burns, I made a speech, which Boswell printed a week before it was delivered, with the words 'laughter' and 'uproarious applause' interspersed through it. It placed me in a false position." "How did he know what you were going to say?" queried Demosthenes. "Don't know," replied Johnson. "Kind of mind-reader, I fancy," he added, blushing a trifle.
Accordingly, so long as Maurice continued under the tutelage of this uproarious cavalier who, at a later day, was to become his brother-in-law-he was not likely to interfere with Leicester's authority.

Nobody thought of questioning the right and justice of building a wharf, with stones that belonged to another person. "Hurrah, hurrah!" shouted they. "Let’s set about it!"
Evarts, of New York, "why Chicago was like a hen crossing the street?" Mr. Evarts gave it up. "Because," said Mr. Lincoln, "Old Grimes is dead, that good old man!" This exceedingly humorous thing created the most uproarious laughter. I hav no politics. Not a one. I'm not in the bisiness.
