"Brooke," said she, in her low, soft, tremulous voice, which had died down almost to a whisper, "we know the secrets of one another's hearts. Oh, Brooke! Brooke! why have we never met before? Oh, Brooke! how strangely we have drifted together! How much we have learned about each other! Is Fate so bitter as to make us drift away, after after "
And, because they saw Marco raise his hand to his forehead, every one of them saluted. They all began to whisper at once. "Let's draw lots now. Let's draw lots, Rat. Don't let's 'ave no waitin'." The Rat began to look about him with dread anxiety. He seemed to be examining the sky. "The darkness is not as thick as it was," he whispered. "Midnight has passed. The dawn of day will be upon us.
At the king's entrance all fell back and I managed to whisper to Hortense what we had learned the night before. "Here are news," smiled His Majesty. "Your maid of the north is Osmond's daughter! The lands young Lieutenant Blood wants are hers!" At that were more looks among the ladies. "And faith, the lieutenant asks for her as well as the lands," said the king.
And in an awful whisper, while the long shadows deepened, she made this terrible revelation: that years, before she had murdered her maid, Gretchen, because the girl was loved by him whom she would have won. By night and by day she pondered upon how it should be done, then suddenly the way and means occurred to her.
This way, my dear sir, this way. Taking Mr. Pickwick by the coat sleeve, the little man led him to the low seat just beneath the desks of the King's Counsel, which is constructed for the convenience of attorneys, who from that spot can whisper into the ear of the leading counsel in the case, any instructions that may be necessary during the progress of the trial.

You must have faith in me." "In you, yes," returned Dolly in a whisper, "but in your dreams, no!" The horses were passing on their way to the post. Carter brought his face close to hers. "I'm going to break my promise," he said, "and make one more bet, this one with you. I bet you a kiss that I'm right." Dolly, holding back her tears, smiled mournfully. "Make it a hundred," she said.
To shout out "Waiter!" or order one about, as if you were in a restaurant, is a certain mark of ill-breeding. Unless the party is a very small one, general conversation is impossible. In such a case, you must converse with those on either side of you, not confining your remarks exclusively to one. Talk in a low, quiet tone, but never in a whisper.
The voice corrected her impatiently: "Nine ought three, and fifteen nine seven." In the same whisper she answered "Hush!" warningly, before repeating the figures aloud and correctly. The girl, on her part, returned rapidly and indifferently: "Twenty-five hundred." "She seems a different creature when she is doing it!" Marie exclaimed admiringly.
