I thought I caught sight of some prisoners in their midst." "Prisoners!" cried the terrified bourgeois. "No doubt," the marquis interrupted in his shrill voice. "I've heard that the insurgents arrest all persons who are known to have conservative leanings." This information gave a finishing touch to the consternation of the yellow drawing-room.
"I like you, Uncle Etienne. I want you to know it. You are an old saint." He put out his hand, but the rack-tender turned and hurried to the door. "Not take my hand?" cried Farr. "Am I as much of a traitor as all that?" "Oh, I cannot speak! I have no word," wailed the old man from the gloom in the street. His voice rose in shrill, cracked tones. He began to weep aloud.
Whereupon he threw the dagger violently from him and gave an angry kick at the animal, as if he would kill it that way. "Savage!" cried Teresita, hysterically shrill. "Brute! Leave the poor thing alone! It has done nothing, that you should beat it while it cannot fight back." Jack, lifting his spurred foot for another kick, set it down and turned to her dazedly.
But Madeleine instantly flew into a rage; her small and shrill voice became hissing, and she spoke volubly, as though pleading her own cause: "And what has it to do with you you indeed? Are they not at liberty to do what they wish since they owe nobody anything. A truce with your airs and mind your own business...."
There was one Sunday evening when the newspaper boys ran almost gleefully up and down the London streets, shouting in shrill voices: "The whole of the British Expeditionary Force cut to pieces."

The swarm fell into silence, scattered, vanished, leaving only the moaning woman to help.

When they drew near to the paraschites' hovel, he perceived the tumult among the people, and, loud above all the noise, heard Uarda's shrill cry of terror.
"These fools these aren't the two!" Frank heard the capostazione declare, in Italian, under his breath, as they swung down on the station platform. Then the shrill little thin-noted engine-whistle sounded, the wheels began to turn, and they were once more speeding through the white moonlight, deeper and deeper into Italy.
Ford heard the shrill little voice innocently maligning him, and swore to himself; but, he did not move for all that. He lay thinking and fighting discouragement and thirst, while little table sounds came through the partition and made a clicking accompaniment to his thoughts. If he were free, he was wondering between spells of temptation, would it do any good? Would Josephine care?
