Girls watched them with round, frightened, fascinated eyes. Younger men found it vastly thrilling to carry burdens of loot back to the pirate ship for them. Thal complained hoarsely that the ship was getting overloaded.
"We found the dam site," said Jim hoarsely. "Don't try to talk till you get some grub," said the man called Billy. Clothed and fed, Jim told his story, a little brokenly. The group of men who listened were used to hardy deeds. They had seen Nature demand her toll of death again and again in the wilderness.
"Will you trust me?" he murmured hoarsely in her ear, as he caught her trembling hands in his. Her fingers closed over his with a frantic clutch; her eyes sought his in desperate appeal. "Yes! yes!" Her white lips framed the words, but no sound issued from them. The car had now attained a frightful velocity; a moment or two more and all would be over, and there was not an instant to lose.
"It is because you are tired of me?" she muttered at last hoarsely, " as you told me you would tire, as you tired of those other women?" Her voice died away with an accent of horror in it. Again he did not answer, but he winced, and his hands that were hanging at his sides clenched slowly. Diana flung one arm across her face to shut him out from her sight.

He noticed gratefully the affectionate surprise in Emily's: "Well, my dear boy?" and James', as he dropped the hook: "What, Soames! What's brought you up? Aren't you well?" He answered mechanically: "I'm all right," and looked at them, and it seemed impossible to bring out his news.
"Oh, I cannot ever forget it," he whispered hoarsely; "it must haunt me, haunt me until I die! I must know that after all my years of struggle it was this that I made, it is this that stands for my life and it is over, and gone from me forever and finished! Oh, God, was there ever such a horror flashed upon a guilty soul ever such fiendish torture for a man to bear?
"Would would four hundred dollars help you?" She asked it eagerly, impulsively, almost in his ear, and he turned as if he had been struck. "Don't speak so loud," she implored him nervously.

"Brigit je t'aime, je t'aime. I am infamous, I am a monster, a father to be execrated by all honest men and women, but I love you!" He laid the violin down in a chair and came to her. "Et toi?" he asked hoarsely. The moment had come when she must think, she told herself, but her brain refused to work. The only thing that mattered was that he should stay.
Each greyhound is swathed in warm clothing, but they all look wretched; and, as they pick their way along with dainty steps, no one would guess that the sight of a certain poor little animal would convert each doleful hound into an incarnate fury.
