He mumbled and muttered; he sank back in his chair; he chuckled; he hiccupped; he fell asleep.
"Let down shlip-rail th-there's good lad," added his master. "It's down," replied the other shortly. "Tchick tchick, Roderick," cried Frank, almost tumbling over his horse's head. At last they reached the house door. Mrs Watson came out, candle in hand. "How are you, Mrs Watson?" hiccupped her master.

William said, "Now let's 'ear the blo the bloody omen that put ye on to Sultan that blood packet of Turkish Delight."
I did not recognize a face, but I was pretty clear that Mr. Grey was not of the number, and I was glad, for the matter between him and me was too serious for this tomfoolery.

"Fleeting and singing, and singing and fleeting," hiccupped Bhairon. "Those make thee late for the council, brother." "And then?" said Krishna, with a laugh, throwing back his head. "Ye can do little without me or Karma here." He fondled the Parrot's plumage and laughed again. "What is this sitting and talking together?

"Ye've found a fair provost at the job, Barshalloch," one of them hiccupped. "Better quit and pay for the mutchkin." My antagonist took every care with his last shot, and, just missing the cockade, hit the hat about the middle, cut the branch on which it rested, and brought it fluttering to the ground a pace or two farther on.
'Ver' well, he hiccupped morosely, 'ver' well; I'm going. Tha's all. He lurched into the passage, and then I heard him fumbling a long time with the outer door.
