Don't let them know I'm here. I couldn't help peeping in as I went by. You look done up." "I am." "What's going on?" "Come in and see." "Heaven forbid! Gracious! Mrs. Upjohn will think that's a swear.
"I wish you were a widow. You would suit me in every way." "Hush!" I said, frowning. "I do not like you to speak so, even in jest." "But I always told you I loved you," he said, resignedly. "Nonsense. What is this ridiculous love you all speak about? A silly passion that only wants what it cannot have, or, if it succeeds, immediately translates itself to some one else. You told me so yourself.
'Hush! repeated Flora, 'I have now told you all, confidence is established between us hush, for Arthur's sake I will always be a friend to you my dear girl and in Arthur's name you may always rely upon me. The nimble fingers laid aside the work, and the little figure rose and kissed her hand.

"Tripe and onions it is, and Plymouth gin the usual fare: and while you're helping yourself, tell me do I owe you ten pounds or no?" "That depends," Mr. Rogers answered, searching about for a clean plate and seating himself amid the hush of the company. "All the horses back?" "Five of 'em.
"God's name, Provost-Marshal, I am not not not the King's arm, like you," he added lamely. But though Tristan might neither forgive nor forget the suggestion of the broken sentence he was not the man to resent it at the moment. The King's arm must endure pin-pricks as well as deal justice.

"Hush!" Wulf whispered, "they are coming along above."
"Hush, darling! He is a very old man." "Oh, yes, it's all very well for you to find excuses for him. You would find excuses for Satan himself, John. You are far too lenient. Just think what father would say, if you were to be made bankrupt. Can't you hear his delighted, malevolent chuckles? Oh, it is too terrible, too outrageous!
"Hush," she said at length; "we must not awaken Pierce. And you too, Godfrey, must go to sleep, to be ready for your journey to-morrow." She left me, but I could hear her breathing outside the door till she thought I had dropped off to sleep. Next morning all the family were up to see me off.
