Here had Harry Musgrave and Bessie Fairfax sat many a summer afternoon, their heads over one poetry-book, reading, whispering, drawing lovers in a way, though they never talked of love. "Shall we two ever walk together in this garden again, Harry?" said Bessie, breaking a sentimental silence with a sigh as she gazed at the sun-dimmed horizon. "Many a time, I hope. I'll tell you my ambition."

Lady Delacour's quick eye saw curiosity painted in Belinda's countenance, and for a moment she was embarrassed; but she soon recovered herself, and endeavoured to turn the course of Miss Portman's thoughts by whispering to her some nonsense about Clarence Hervey a cabalistical name, which she knew had the power, when pronounced in a certain tone, of throwing Belinda into confusion.

"Nope; I ain't a-goin' to bring him," Tess replied, whispering a prayer for aid. "What be ye goin' to do with it?" "I don't know yet." A muttered petition fell over the baby's face, but she said aloud: "I think it air a-goin' to croak." "I's a-thinkin' so, too," Ben said thoughtfully. "He hes the look of death on his mug, Tessibel.... Air it yer brat?"

I thought I would be far away in foreign lands or on distant seas, and so I would not hear the whispering, nor see the pointing of the fingers. What did it matter what people said about me? Morva would not have me, so what was the use of a good name to me?" "I got up before the sun rose, and I pushed a few things into my canvas bag, and went quiet down the stairs.

"Fear not," said Cetewayo, "amongst many other things I remember this also." Then Zikali turned and crept into the hut, whispering as he passed me "Lie silent for your life."

He listened still more tensely through long minutes in which he heard nothing, at the same time whispering to Jerry for information and commanding him to be soft-spoken; and Jerry, with whuffs and whiffs and all the short-hand breath-exhalations of speech he had been taught, told him that men approached, many men, more men than five. Nalasu reached the bow beside him, strung an arrow, and waited.

In the air, in the whispering of the spruce-tops, in the moon and the stars themselves, there breathed a spirit which told him that what he had heard was the wolf-cry, but that it was not the wolf call.

"And where is she now?" "No, tender child! I have not seen your mother. She is in heaven, I trust; where I hope we shall all be some day with God. He sent me to you, probably I fancy so, at least." "Then God has got good again. He was very bad last week very wicked; he killed our mother," whispering mysteriously.

Burgess fail to observe that she was very tardy in making her appearance in the sitting-room. On another occasion, Mr. Burgess returned home under similar circumstances, and going directly to his wife's room, found, to his astonishment, that he could not gain admittance. After some delay, however, during which Hamilton heard footsteps hurrying to and fro within, and whispering, Mrs.
