It was my doing, sir. Don't believe a word she says." "Father, what have you said?" cried his child, clinging to him. "Hush! Hold your tongue," he whispered angrily.
And Varvara was so much flustered that she could not get up from her seat, and only waved her hands before her as though she were warding off a bee. "Oh, Holy Saints! what's the meaning of it?" she muttered in horror. "What is she shouting? Oh, dear, dear!... People will hear! Hush. Oh, hush!"

In two minutes Unc' Billy was down on the ground, rolling and tumbling in the maddest kind of a frolic with his eight children. Right in the midst of it Unc' Billy sprang to his feet.

He talked with a sort of hush in his voice about you till we thought you must be some stately, tall, splendid Helen of Troy with a soul like an ocean, instead of" she was going to say something that would have seemed unkind, and she stopped herself in time "instead of a sort of fairy, one of the little folk that never grow up; the same as my father used to tell me about."

Some boys were playing about the stable, and I heard them say, in horrified tones, "Oh, Cousin Harry, what is the matter with that dog?" "Hush," he said. "Don't make a fuss. You, Jack, go down to the kitchen and ask Mary for a basin of warm water and a sponge, and don't let your mother or Laura hear you."

"What is the matter with thee, my sweet girl?" he exclaimed, and tried to lift her up: "hush thee; tell me thy sorrow." "No, let me lie here!" cried the weeper.
"Hush!" whispered Janet. "There he is." She pointed to the gopher's hole. Teddy saw a tiny black nose and a pair of sparkling eyes as a head was thrust a little way out of the burrow.
