Anywhere near the drills is such a roaring and jangling that I must bellow at the top of my voice to be heard at all. The entire gamut of sound-waves surrounds and enfolds me, and with it all the powerful Atlantic breeze sweeps deafeningly through the channel.
It stopped was silent all at once, as though the person for a moment had forgotten where he was, but soon remembered and so, with the same clanking noise, the shadow disappeared. He walked out into the court and paced it to and fro; startling the echoes, as he went, with the harsh jangling of his fetters. There was a door near his, which, like his, stood ajar.
It was characteristic of Lady Anne that she thought to tell Jennings, the coachman, to drive up and down in front of the house and round the sides, for Dr. Carruthers' house was a corner one with a frontage to three sides. It was a hot summer day, and Jennings wondered disrespectfully what bee the old lady had got in her bonnet. Such a jangling of harness, such a flashing of polished surfaces!
"If it's not too far," she answered with dignity, "I think I'd like to go to my own house it's in a street called Montrose Place." Inside the car her head drooped, she felt the new Babiche licking her lifeless hand, she felt the whir of the motor. It vibrated through every jangling nerve of her weary body. The whole impossible journey was like a nightmare.
For, as you see, it is completely wired by the Hale Electric Protection that wooden framework about it. No one could touch that when it was set without jangling a bell at the central office which would send men scurrying here to protect the place." "But they must have got past it," suggested Kennedy. "Yes they must have. At least this morning I received the regular Hale report.
I wish I'd never seen you a rotten kind of friendship " his voice died off into muttering. Stephen went back to his bed. "This ain't fair, Mr. Peter," he said in a low voice. "You'll be sorry afterwards. I ain't 'ad any very 'appy time myself these last weeks and now " Their nerves were like hot, jangling wires. Suddenly into the midst of that bare room there had sprung between them hatred.
“Will they beat us, though?” grinned Hal Hastings. “You and I, Jack, happen to know that the ’Farnum’ is a bit the faster boat by rights.” Suddenly the signal broke out from the gunboat. “Race her, Eph!” shouted Captain Jack. “Aye, aye, sir!” Eph Somers’s right hand caught at the speed signals beside the wheel. He called for all speed, the bell jangling merrily in the engine room.
Suddenly the shock of the bell, jangling out its summons in the dark cold hall! Again Lillian's composed, swift exit in response. Crystal had answered, and here was Mr. Julian Bayne at the hotel and on the wire. Could he come to her at once, at her utmost need, and by the first train? Oh! Crystal was not on a railroad at all? Could he really drive across country? But wasn't it too far?
Katharine said: 'I will have this; all gentlewomen wear such caps as these. 'When you are gentle, replied Petruchio, 'you shall have one too, and not till then. The meat Katharine had eaten had a little revived her fallen spirits, and she said: 'Why, sir, I trust I may have leave to speak, and speak I will: I am no child, no babe; your betters have endured to hear me say my mind; and if you cannot, you had better stop your ears. Petruchio would not hear these angry words, for he had happily discovered a better way of managing his wife than keeping up a jangling argument with her; therefore his answer was: 'Why, you say true; it is a paltry cap, and I love you for not liking it. 'Love me, or love me not, said Katharine, 'I like the cap, and I will have this cap or none. 'You say you wish to see the gown, said Petruchio, still affecting to misunderstand her.
Every sound, the clang of the church bells, the jingling of the harness of the droske horses, the people's voices, the beat of the hoofs, everything, sounded choked and jangling through the close air, that penetrated and muffled everything. Week followed week, and the weather was, and remained, still the same. And I stayed steadily down in Vaterland.
