He did not stop, as Jack had done, but he facetiously whistled "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching," and he went at a pace which permitted him to finish the tune before he reached the gate. He joined Jack in the shade, and his face, when he looked back to the stable, was anxious.
I've got a little money, all I've been able to save in ten years' work, a few thousand. I'm ruined." "Don't talk so loud!" cautioned Meighan. He whistled low under his breath. "You're certainly up against it, Mr. Kenleigh, but you buck up! We'll get 'em. And, anyway, bonds can be traced." "These are payable to bearer," said Kenleigh numbly.
They met their master arriving in great haste at the postern, because on their side the archers of the quay had whistled to him afar off, saying to him "The Sire de Savoisy has passed in." And indeed Savoisy had come at the appointed hour, and like all the lovers, thinking only of his lady, he had not seen the count's spies and had slipped in at the postern.

In the hall a servant gave him a note; it was from Hilda, and ran thus "I have changed my mind. I will meet you in the summer-house this evening. I have something to say to you." Philip whistled as he read it. "Devilish awkward," he thought to himself; "if I am going to marry Maria, she must leave this. But I cannot bear to part with her. I love her! I love her!"
