She repeated the little verses musically, like a song, and the entreaty of the flowers was even softer than the rest, as the shy speech of flowers might be, and she ended with the voice suspended, almost with a rising inflection.
The exploit still possessed for him the elements of a good joke, to be related thereafter in such a manner as would enforce laughter. Suddenly within the softer sound of the sea below a harsh, grating noise struck his ears. It was to him like the sound made by a nailed boot upon rock. It was as if another were following him down the face of the cliff.
Pleasant auspices, these, for matrimony to a poor invalid who wishes at least to decline and to die in peace!

"This loose waist or chemisette is sometimes white and sometimes colored. It is made of jusi cloth, that is, cloth woven from banana leaf fiber. You see it is softer, thinner, and cooler than your linen or cotton." "It is lovely," I acknowledged. "Loose wide collars are in style with you now, but they have always been in style here.
