But if I seem to be playing the fool ?" "That depends on yourself. But," Will added, with a twinkle in his eye, "there's just one piece of advice I should like to offer you." "Let me have it," replied the other eagerly. "Very good of you, old man, not to be bored." "Don't," said Warburton, in an impressive undertone, "don't persuade Mrs. Cross to change her grocer."
Then, after a pause, she added, as though she had but that moment thought of it, "Had a flying squirrel an' let him go." Invariably Maria Macapa made this answer. It was not always she would talk about the famous service of gold plate, but a question as to her name never failed to elicit the same strange answer, delivered in a rapid undertone: "Name is Maria Miranda Macapa."

Bud fired and knocked he gun out of his hand, then stepped over the man he suspected was Lew and caught the young fellow by the wrist. "You're Ed Collier by your eyes and your mouth," Bud said in a rapid undertone. "I'm going to get you out of this, if you'll do what I say. Will you?"

Or, it may have been that, under all the cruel, world-hardness of the thoughts expressed, the young man sensed an undertone of pathetic sadness.
He stops as if to question his partner; he leans towards her, wishes to speak to her in an undertone. The lady turns away, does not listen, blushes. He takes off his cap, and salutes her respectfully. The lady is not disinclined to look at him, but persists in being silent. He slackens his pace, seeks to read in her eyes, and smiles.
"Will you allow me to say one word to my brother?" he inquired. "Do so; but what is it?" said the king in an undertone. "The fact is, that he wishes to use the utmost speed to execute the commission, and to return again immediately, which happens to interfere with my projects, sire, and with those of the cardinal." "Away with you, then, and rate this love-sick swain most roundly."

"I can't bear to hear you speak of your poverty," she said in an undertone. "You remind me that I am the cause of it." "Good Heavens! As if I should mention it if I were capable of such a thought!"
"Don't, Leander!" said Matilda, in an undertone; "let her alone, the poor thing!" She seemed to have quite forgotten that her fallen enemy had been dooming her to destruction the moment before; but there was something so tragic and moving in the sight of such despair that no true woman could be indifferent to it.
