The dog belonging to the inn is said to have given first notice to people below the Notch that something was wrong, but his moaning and barking were misunderstood, and after running back and forth, as if to summon help, he disappeared. At the hour of the accident James Willey, of Conway, had a dream in which he saw his dead brother standing by him.
Don't you let 'em! Now I air a-going to lift you and carry you to the nearest house. All the boys have run on after the Yanks." He took up his sergeant and moved off with an easy step. Coffin uttered a short and piteous moaning like a child. They presently met a number of grey soldiers. "We've druv them we've druv them! The 37th's down there. Just listen to Rockbridge! Who've you got there?"
Sweet to the old man was the moaning of the wind as it jostled the barren trees, while the ungarnished landscape seemed fairer to him this day than ever before even in harvest time. As the aged couple entered the church, with its many pictures of saints and its gorgeous towering altar, the organ began to play softly.
Romulus fetched the spades and industriously began to dig into Wang Tai's grave, and Moses, crowing and laughing, fell to as assistant, and as the result of their labor the earth flew to either side. Only three feet of loose Christian law covered little Wang Tai! A small yellow woman, moaning with grief, had tossed all night on her hard bed of matting and her harder pillow of hollowed wood.
Pretty soon one woman says, kind o' shivery: "I don't want to have the job of opening the door of that blacksmith shop the first one!" And they all kind o' shivered then, and looked at Elmira. They says to let some of the men open it. And Mis' Alexander, she says she'll run home and tell her husband right off. And all the time Elmira is moaning in that chair.
A little dancing in the sunshine, a little moaning in the shade, then death, and after death "What are you thinking of, Miriam?" said a rich voice at her elbow, the voice of Caleb. She started, for here she believed herself alone, then answered: "My thoughts matter nothing. Why are you here? You should be with your fellow " "Conspirators. Why do you not say the word?
When the three desperadoes closed in on O'Ryan, and, with a blow from the shoulder which was not a pretence, he sent Holden into a far corner gasping for breath and moaning with pain, the audience broke out into wild cheering. It was superb acting, they thought. As most of them had never seen the play, they were not surprised when Holden did not again join the attack on the deputy-sheriff.
I shivered and clasped the children closer to me as the hollow moaning of the waves reverberated through the cavern. Every minute the water was rising; by-and-by the spray must wet us even in our sheltered corner. Would the children believe me when I told them we were safe? Would not Flurry's terrors return at the first touch of the cold spray?
As he rode on the lights behind him died and the darkness came up and covered Lee's camp. But he had truly told the General that he could find his way to Richmond in black darkness, and to-night he had need of both knowledge and instinct. There was a shadowed moon, flurries of rain, and a wind moaning through the pine woods.
As the old man spoke, I became aware of a loud and gradually increasing sound, like the moaning of a vast herd of buffaloes upon an American prairie; and at the same moment I perceived that what seamen term the chopping character of the ocean beneath us, was rapidly changing into a current which set to the eastward. Even while I gazed, this current acquired a monstrous velocity.
