“[A] fortunate accident […] happened to me when I was a very little boy. A good-hearted old Irish nurse (whom I shall not forget in my will) took me up one day by the heels, when I was making more noise than was necessary, and, swinging me round two or three times, d——d my eyes for "a skreeking little spalpeen," and then knocked my head into a cocked hat against the bed-post. This, I say, decided my fate, and made my fortune.”

“Stop till I shut the door of the shop. Ah! How it skreeks!”

“From another room a door skreeked open, and Lucille returned with a rag and icky pillow.”
