"I'd better tell what he told me," Alex broke in. "It will be quicker.
The determination to ignore any tragedy in the situation was strong in them both, and if David's eyes were blurred and his hands trembling, if Dick's first words were rather choked, they hid their emotion carefully. "Well, here I am, like a bad penny!" said Dick huskily from the doorway. "And a long time you've been about it," grumbled David. "You young rascal!"
Just you give me that other sixpence, or I'll break every bone in yer skin 'fore yer know where you are." "Let go!" said Tom huskily; and he struggled to get free. "Oh no, yer don't. Yer arn't going to get away till yer've paid me that there sixpence."
The old, immortal hunger surged into his veins, the world-old joy made his senses reel. He steadied himself for a moment, then went to her, with his arms outstretched in pleading.

"Now, then, how much money have yer got with yer?" "Only another sixpence," said Tom a little huskily. "Hand it over, then, and look sharp about it, 'fore it's the worse for yer."

We used to have snows like this at home, eh?"
"Perhaps there is such another world," said Polecrab huskily. "But did that vision also seem real and false to you?" "Very real, but not false then, for then I didn't understand all this. But just because it was real, it couldn't have been Surtur, who has no connection with reality." "Didn't those drum taps sound real to you?" "I had to hear them with my ears, and so they sounded real to me.
