Shorland stooped to pick it up, but, as he did so, he heard a low exclamation from Gabrielle. He looked up. She pointed to the portrait, and said gaspingly: "My God look! look!" She leaned forward and touched the portrait in his hand. "Look! look!" she said again. And then she paused, and a moment after laughed. But there was no mirth in her laughter it was hollow and nervous.
Chester had been expecting this question, and while coming along the Hopedale road he had thought out an answer to it. He began now, speaking the words slowly and gaspingly, as if reciting a hastily learned lesson. "My name is Chester Benson. I belong to Upton up the country. My folks are dead and I came to Montrose to look for work, I've been there a week and couldn't get anything to do.
As a matter of fact, it was the menace in his tone that hushed the meeting. The men rather feared what lay behind Joe's words. At once, however, one of the men leaped to his feet, and began a fiery speech in Yiddish, speaking gaspingly, passionately, hotly, shaking his fist, fluttering his hands, tearing a passion to tatters.
In the light of the torches his face was white and fierce and his mouth moved gaspingly. She spoke to him quietly, and said: "There is no need for you to hear me speak.

"Surely you won't be coward enough to take advantage of my helplessness!" "Only confess that you love me, Myra darling, and I will do anything you ask," Don Carlos replied, his deep voice vibrant with passion, his dark eyes aglow with ardour. "Only confess yourself conquered." "I won't! I won't! I'd rather die! I hate you, hate you!" stormed Myra gaspingly, still struggling. "Let me go, you brute.

"Now," he said, speaking between lips that scarcely seemed to move, "you will make me that promise." "What promise?" Gaspingly Tudor uttered the question, yet something of the habitual sneer which he always kept for Piers distorted his mouth as he spoke. He was not an easy man to beat, despite his physical limitations. Sternly and implacably Piers answered him.
And this was in truth the Death of which these bystanders spoke reverently, in low whispers you, sweet Una, gaspingly, with loud cries. They attired me for the coffin three or four dark figures which flitted busily to and fro.

Once, down in the garden, Maurice laughed; and she struck her clenched hand on her forehead: "I can't bear it!" she said, gaspingly, aloud; "I can't bear it she interests him!" His pleasure in Edith's mind was a more scorching pain to her than the thought of Lily's body....
