He stood with forefinger on his closed lips, bending excitedly toward her. He was cautioning her to make no sound, even while his very coming brought disturbance to her first thought her fevered patient.
"Do you believe we would be expelled, Les?" asked Dulcie Vale, looking worried. "I don't believe it. I know we would. Nothing could save us. Never mind being scared, though. No one will ever know the rights of our plot unless some one of you girls here is silly enough to tell it. That's why I am cautioning you to be careful."
Don't rouse that woman, now, if you want to keep a whole skin. Drummond laughed at his extreme earnestness in cautioning him, and appeared to enjoy his dread of the Countess. Mr. George would not tell how he had been induced to change his mind. He repeated his advice with a very emphatic shrug of the shoulder. 'You seem afraid of her, said Drummond. 'I am.

But Truman did not know that, weak as he was, the Parson was dividing his time between the wounded and the effectives, ministering to the one and cautioning the other, for the latter could not always resist the temptation to fire at such Indians as appeared in view within five or six hundred yards, and ammunition might be scarce before the siege was ended.
"But you have your secrets, rather clumsily guarded, to be sure " "What secrets?" I cried out, goaded almost beyond endurance. He seemed to deprecate the vigour of my retort and lifted a cautioning hand. "Do you want every one on board to hear this conversation?"

Then, in the very midst of it all there came a dull boom as the decks blew up.
