If he had made a positive engagement and said that he would see me at twelve o'clock that night, it would have been all right; but he would turn away with a grunt the subject of going to look at samples, not even giving me the satisfaction of saying he didn't want anything at all.
"From brute beasts you have restored us to the condition of men again." "Do not put yourselves to the trouble of thanking me," said the wise king. "I fear I have done but little for you." To say the truth, there was a suspicious kind of a grunt in their voices, and, for a long time afterwards, they spoke gruffly, and were apt to set up a squeal.
"Guess the kid ain't no slouch, eh, Jim?" jeered one. Jim let go another, then a third one. The third blow proved his undoing. The next instant Jim's boots were describing a half circle in the air over Tad Butler's head. His revolvers slipping from their holsters in transit, dropped to the ground and Jim landed flat on his back with a mighty grunt.
"If the raft is not strong enough, Tom, we must make it stronger," I said; and he gave a grunt and worked away, tugging at the knots and very often using his teeth. At last, though, we had all the ties secured together in a bunch ready for immediate use the poles bound in small bundles, and the skins fastened together by their necks, they having the advantage of being very light.
This idea is destroying your will, your brain, your religion, and will finally sap the moral fiber of your character. It is the greatest sentimentalist." Gordon grunted.

One fellow awoke with a grunt of impatience and then a snort of anger, as a sense of the stinging brought him to a realization of his discomfort; then another, and another, until the entire bunch was in a fine frenzy, fanning our bodies and running into the night air for relief.
I inquired after his daughter and his son-in-law, but my hint that the latter might perhaps be willing to indorse a note for me evoked an impatient grunt "My son-in-law! Why, you don't even know him!" he retorted, with a suspicious look at me I turned it off with a joke and asked about the hen-pecked man. Mr. Even had not seen him for four years.
If I did not like my work, of course, I would be carrying a terrible burden and would speedily collapse. You see, I have no time nowadays to break down. I have no time to think and grunt and worry about my body. And like Paul I am happy to be "absent from the body and present with the Lord."
I had gone down to the water to clean our fish; and I was so employed when, stooping down, I saw the snout of an alligator raised above the surface. Without moving, I imitated the grunt of a pig. The monster saurian, expecting to have a porker for supper, swam on, with jaws open, its wicked eye turned towards me.
Here the Albino Children nodded their heads in approval, and the sword swallower gave a grunt of assent; and, thus encouraged, the skeleton proceeded: "I feel, when I say that we like and admire Mr. Tyler, all present will agree with me and all would like to hear him say a word for himself."
