"The light is going, we must camp here till the morning," he said after a while. And there they camped in this Golgotha, this place of bones, every one of which cried to heaven for vengeance. The night wind swept over them whispering in the giant reeds, fashioning the mists into fantastic shapes that threw strange shadows on the inky surface of the water as it crept slowly to the sea.
Smoke lifted from its stone chimney. MacRae smiled reminiscently at this and moved on. His objective lay at the Cove's head, on the little creek which came whispering down from the high land behind.
"Better not let her catch us whispering about her," she went on. "She wouldn't like it a little bit." "It isn't a nice thing to do anyhow, Dolly. You're perfectly right. I do think Mr. Trenwith's a nice man. Maybe he's good enough for her. But I think I'll always like Mr.
"I think that Miss Harrison has some friends who feel as she does. I heard them whispering together. And one girl spoke to me. But I am sure they were about the only ones. Most of the girls feel dreadfully about it." "Of course no one who didn't would say anything to me," sighed Betty. "Oh, Helen, I am so disappointed."
You do not understand the power of "that old serpent, the Devil," if you can not think how he came to her again and again in the silence of her own room, even into the midst of her rejoicings over the newly-washed soul, even while the joy in heaven among the angels was still ringing out over her father, came whispering to her heart to say: "Oh, I can't, I can't. Think of it! The Erskines!
"Miss 'Lina be hanged," was Hugh's savage response; "and you, woman, do you hear? drive those nails back faster than you took them out." "Yes, mas'r," and Hannah hastened down. Whispering to her mistress, Hannah told what Hugh had said, and instantly there came over Mrs.
"Shall we tell him the whole thing?" asked Gobseck, whispering to Gigonnet. "Mitral is one of us; he wouldn't play a shabby trick on his former customers," replied Gigonnet. "You see, Mitral," he went on, speaking to the ex-sheriff in a low voice, "we three have just bought up all those debts, the payment of which depends on the decision of the liquidation committee."
"At what are you going to earn your living when you grow up, Fil?" asked the Padre, who was his teacher, when we all met again under the whispering bamboos next morning. Fil thought a minute, pursed his chest out like a pouter pigeon, and replied to the great admiration of Filippa, who was a very loyal sister: "I shall be a Senator, or President."
"You must maroon me as soon as ever you can get amongst these islands off the Cambodge shore," he went on. "Maroon you! We are not living in a boy's adventure tale," I protested. His scornful whispering took me up. "We aren't indeed! There's nothing of a boy's tale in this. But there's nothing else for it. I want no more. You don't suppose I am afraid of what can be done to me?
I wanted to tell you so this evening. I have brought you here to tell you so to this particular spot. Something tells me that it may be almost our last chance. I left those two whispering upon the lawn. What is it they are planning, I wonder? That man Bomford is no companion for your father. He has given him an idea about me and my story. What is it, I wonder?
