"We are going to the boys' cave," said the General, buckling on his pistol; "I know the way, and we'll get away as soon as these fellows leave, if we cannot before." "God bless you!" said the ladies, pushing them away in dread of the enemy's return. "Come on, General," called Hugh in an undertone. The General was lagging behind a minute to say good-bye once more.
And, certain of his discovery, he went out repeating to himself in an undertone, and with his usual low whistle: "Good! we shall see! we shall see!" She was thinking how to get out of this when the servant coming in put on the mantelpiece a small roll of blue paper "from Monsieur Derozerays." Emma pounced upon and opened it. It contained fifteen napoleons; it was the account.
The two young women clasped hands; then May bent forward and kissed her cousin. "Certainly our hostess is much the handsomer of the two," Archer heard Reggie Chivers say in an undertone to young Mrs. Newland; and he remembered Beaufort's coarse sneer at May's ineffectual beauty. A moment later he was in the hall, putting Madame Olenska's cloak about her shoulders.
In return, he robbed him of the woman whom he loved." "The quarrel," Monsieur Decresson said softly, "seems, then, to have been another's." "Messieurs," I answered, "my brother is an invalid for life. The quarrel, therefore, was mine." Decresson and his companion exchanged glances. I leaned back in my chair. The three of them talked together earnestly for several minutes in an undertone.
Buckley, in stammering, shocked rage, began to curse Gordon's clumsiness, and, in his excitement, the wound bled more redly. "You will have to keep quiet," he was told, "for this afternoon anyhow." "I'm not a 'dam' blind bat," Gordon informed his victim in a rapid undertone; "my eyes are sharper than usual to-day." Above the stained bandage Simmons' gaze was blankly enraged.
It was trembling with a perpetual vibration, a hollow, pulsating undertone of sound like the surging of the sea before a storm, and the lava that boiled over its sides rolled slowly down with a strange creaking; it seemed the condensed, intensified essence and expression of eternal fire, rising and still rising from some inexhaustible fountain of burning.
I was walking back along the passage when Rayne's pretty daughter Lola came out of the room I had first entered. She must have come out expressly to meet me, because when close to me she stopped abruptly, glanced to right and left, and then asked me quickly in an undertone: "Is my father sending you on any journey, Mr. Hargreave?"
"Evelina," said Polk, experimentally, after he had seen them safely across the street, and he moved along the steps until he sat against my skirts, "are your family subject to colic?" "No, they have strong brains instead," I answered icily. "Said brains subject to colic, though," he mused in an impudent undertone. I laughed: I couldn't help it.
He hoped nobody would say again that he was looking rather thin and pale. "And what is Mr. Lemoyne doing this evening?" presently asked Mrs. Phillips in a dreamy undertone. Her manner was casual and negligent; her voice was low and leisurely. She seemed to place Lemoyne at a distance of many, many leagues. "Rehearsing, I suppose?" "Yes," replied Cope. "This new play has absorbed him completely."
'Only if I had known that release was hopeless, or that Basil Her voice failed. 'That Basil ? echoed Marcian's lips, in an undertone. 'That he was dead. 'You never feared that he might have forgotten you? Again his accents were so hard that Veranilda gazed at him in troubled wonder. 'You never feared that? he added, with fugitive eyes.
