The rooms grew fuller and fuller of people; they passed thick and fast between the rooms, and the hangings were continually rustling; one fat old man with a big belly crept under the bed where I was, and wheezed and chuckled there, laughing and talking to one who stooped down and lifted up the hangings to look at him.
The two old friends had first talked over varied subjects of immediate concern, but when supper was nearly finished, they fell back upon the lost Knowles gold, as has been already said. "They got a dreadful blow, poor gals," wheezed Mrs. Forder, with compassion. "'T was harder for them than for most folks; they'd had a long stent with the ol' gentleman; very arbitrary, very arbitrary."
Directly, from almost beneath his feet, came the sound of an areaway window being unlatched, and a drowsy female somewhat crossly inquired to know who might be there and what might be wanted. "It's a gentleman calling on Mr. Slack," wheezed Mr. Leary with his head over the balusters. He was getting so very, very hoarse. "I've been ringing his bell, but I can't seem to get any answer."
"I wish I could," he wheezed. "A man of your age and weight getting up to kiddish gymnastics " "Don't," he said, and looked agonised. "I'll tell you," he said, and gesticulated. "How the deuce," said I, "are you holding on up there?" And then abruptly I realised that he was not holding on at all, that he was floating up there just as a gas-filled bladder might have floated in the same position.
"No, sir, that it wasn't. I was a-cuttin' the lawn till nigh bed-time, an' it wasn't there then." Grant was himself again. He stooped and grabbed the rope. "Suppose we solve the mystery," he said. "No need to dirty your hands, sir," put in Bates. "Let I haul 'un in." In a few seconds the oaken tint in his face grew many shades lighter. "Good Gawd!" he wheezed.
"Don't forget me, dear Karwan Bashi," wheezed the Comfortable Camel, putting his head on the Knight's shoulder. "You're a sentimental dunce, Camy. I doubt whether they'll take us at all!" The Doubtful Dromedary looked wistfully at Dorothy. "Go to, now!" cried Sir Hokus, putting an arm around each neck. "You're just like two of the family!"
Errol, a good sort, they said; but, like many another woman of inelegant exterior, how good a sort only her Maker knew. She was large in every way. It was the only word that described her; large-boned, large-featured, and so stout that she wheezed a fact which in no way limited her activity. Her voice was as deep as a man's, and it went even deeper when she laughed. But she was not laughing now.
Fresno was a patient person, who realized fully the fact that a fall is not painful unless sustained from a considerable height. As for Glass, he recounted tales of Mariedetta's capitulation to his employer, and wheezed merrily over the discomfiture of the Mexican girl's former admirers.
The greenwood is the place for me, For that is where the dun deer be, 'Tis where my Dolly comes to me: And who would stay at home, That might with Dolly roam? Sing hey ho, come and kiss me, Dolly!" Lempriere, perspiring with the exertion, mopped his forehead, then lapsed into a plaintive mood. "I've had naught but trouble of late," he wheezed.
He supposed that such a thing had never been heard of in the history of the tropics. For where could you find anyone to steal a girl out of an orchestra? No doubt fellows here and there took a fancy to some pretty one but it was not for running away with her. Oh dear no! It needed a lunatic like Heyst. "Only think what it means," wheezed Davidson, imaginative under his invincible placidity.
