Afterward, while their ears were still strained to the sound, the bobcat squalled an answer from among the rocks. "Yes, I heard it," said Grant. "It's a spook. It's the wail of a lost spirit, loosed temporarily from the horrors of purgatory. It's sent as a warning to repent you of your sins, and it's howling because it hates to go back. What you going to do about it?"
I don't never in all my life want to hear of a circus, see a circus, talk circus, see a circus man " "Crack 'em down, gents!" squalled the parrot. It was the first time for many hours that he had heard his master's voice, and the sound cheered him. He hooked his beak around a wire and rattled away jovially.
During all this time a child or two in the hut squalled terribly, fearing I suppose they would all be murdered. We might have lost our scalps under some circumstances, but we appeared to be fully the strangest party, and had no fear, for the Indian had no weapon about him and we had both guns and knives.
Simon Screecher squalled, suddenly finding his voice. "I saw him first. And he's my prize." "He looks to me like the one I lost a few nights ago," Solomon Owl announced solemnly. "In that case, of course I saw him first. So you'd better fly home to your old apple tree in the orchard." "I'll do nothing of the sort!"

One was that of an impertinent cur, which, after snuffing at the heels of the glistening figure, put its tail between its legs and skulked into its master's back yard, vociferating an execrable howl. The other dissentient was a young child, who squalled at the fullest stretch of his lungs, and babbled some unintelligible nonsense about a pumpkin.
Borckman fumbled his next counter to Jerry's attack, missed, and had both hands slashed in quick succession ere he managed to send the puppy sliding. And still Jerry came back. As any screaming creature of the jungle, he hysterically squalled his indignation. But he made no whimper. Nor did he wince or cringe to the blows.
I've struck, I have! You can't hold nobody responserble but me an' Barnacle." "The gal's crazy!" squalled the sheriff, going rapidly backward, for the dog and Liz were advancing.

She squalled an' took on as if everybody she'd ever knowed had been massacreed, an' you couldn't make out one single word she said no more than if it had been Eyetalian.

"I've invited the Honer'ble J. Percival Bickford to act as the starter and one of the judges of the races," he announced. Trustee Silas Wallace, superintendent of horses, had put on his hat. Now he took it off again. "What!" he almost squalled. "You see," explained the president, with eager conciliatoriness, "we've only got to scratch his back just a little to have him "
So it was, helpless, suspended in the air by the nape of the neck, that he bawled and squalled and choked and coughed till the black, disgusted, flung him down roughly in the canoe's bottom.
