Presently the voice said, "Because if you really loved her you were no better than she was, and so I hate you both." "'Beautiful as an angel, and headstrong as a devil," was John Bulmer's meditation. Afterward John Bulmer turned over and went back to sleep. For after all, as he reflected, he had given his parole. He was awakened later by a shriek that was followed by a hubbub of tumult.
The group round the door was precipitated forward, and Langham with it. She saw him in a moment. Her white brow contracted, and she gave him a quick but hardly smiling glance of recognition through the crowd. He thought there was no chance of getting at her, and moved aside amid the general hubbub to look at a picture. 'Mr. Langham, how do you do? He turned sharply and found her beside him.
Some rushed forth and called on each other to run different ways, and the words, "That is he," "Stop him!" were spoken in a tone of eagerness and rage. My weakness and pain were for a moment forgotten, and my whole attention was bent to discover the meaning of this hubbub. The musket which I had brought with me to this chamber lay across the bed.
He saw no reason, because a lot of soldiers happened to pass that way, why folks should cease to eat meat or why a man should not attend to his business, so he had taken a sheep and a quarter of beef over there, as it was his custom to do every Tuesday, and had just disposed of the last of his stock-in-trade when up came the 7th corps and he found himself in the middle of a terrible hubbub.
Four saloon-keepers stand upon chairs and shout. Four bouncers of four rival saloons pull the orators down to the floor. The saloon-keepers are unarmed their bung-starters are at home. The Lockwin man is in the chair. He has not been elected. Election in such a hubbub is impossible, and is not expected. But the assumption of the chair by anybody is a good thing.

A general hubbub rose from the floor and the galleries of the hall the sound of several thousand people stamping with their feet and rapping with their umbrellas and sticks.
Jill would sit entranced by her mother's window watching them; the sunshine, the glitter, the hubbub, intoxicated her; she made up stories by the dozen, as her dark eyes followed the gay equipages. When Fräulein summoned her she went away reluctantly; the stories got into her head, and stopped there all the time she laboured through that long sonata.
We ought to make it clear that we bow in all good faith to the accomplished facts." The utterance of that phrase seemed to give him a melancholy satisfaction. The hubbub of voices round him was growing strained and hoarse. In the sudden pauses the excited grimacing of the faces would sink all at once into the stillness of profound dejection.

It was strange, thought Rudolph, how nothing happened from moment to moment. No yellow bodies came charging out of the hubbub. He himself lay there unhurt; his fellows joked, grumbled, shifted their legs on the platform.
William Green to hold, and then knocked the ambassador down. The loud laugh consequent on the delivery of the message ceased abruptly, and in the midst of a terrific hubbub Joe and his victim, together with two or three innocent persons loudly complaining that they hadn't finished their beer, were swept into the street.
