"I do," replied the young man, and catching hold of his guardian's hand he pressed it, murmuring in a scarcely audible voice: "You have indeed been a second father to me!" But Mr. Sipos tore his hand passionately from the young man's grasp and said in a somewhat rougher tone: "But suppose your dead father were to say: 'That is not true! You have not watched over my son as a father should!
Parkhurst, the rag-time, the weeping, the stealthy hum of cab-wheels, the shout of the press agent, the tinkle of fountains on the roof gardens, the hullabaloo of the strawberry vender and the covers of Everybody's Magazine, the whispers of the lovers in the parks all these sounds must go into your Voice not combined, but mixed, and of the mixture an essence made; and of the essence an extract an audible extract, of which one drop shall form the thing we seek."
The doors being open, and the house full of people, it excited my curiosity to go in. When I entered the house, to my great surprise, I saw a very tall woman standing in the midst of them, speaking in an audible voice something which I could not understand. Having never seen anything of this kind before, I stood and stared about me for some time, wondering at this odd scene.
But among other differences was this, that at the hour when the guests of the latter were leaving, those seeking the hospitalities of Beaver Beach had just begun to arrive. By three o'clock, however, joy at Mike's Place had become beyond question unconfined, and the tokens of it were audible for a long distance in all directions.
I closed my eyes and listened; I could almost hear the rustle of her dress on the gravel. Why do we make such an ado about death? What is it, after all, but a sort of refinement of life?

He ran to the window and looked out eagerly. "Who opposes me?" reiterated Danville. "Hark!" exclaimed Lomaque, raising his hand. "Silence, and listen!" The heavy, dull tramp of men marching together became audible as he spoke. Voices humming low and in unison the Marseillaise hymn, joined solemnly with the heavy, regular footfalls.
Close at the head of the bed stood an old man, with his face buried in his hands; the latter reposing against the wainscoting of the room. He, too, wept, but his weeping was more audible, more painful, and accompanied by suffocating sobs. It was the humble, yet almost paternally attached servant of the defunct the veteran Morrison.
"He's ordering a bottle of red wine," murmured Luigi, dancing up and down with excitement. Vincenzo was so nervous that he knocked a bottle down in the window, and I believe that my heartbeats were almost audible over the telephone which I was holding, for the police operator called me down for asking so many times if all was ready. "There it is the signal," cried Craig.
All the hoarded strength of the night was audible in the words. Max threw up his head, met Blake's eyes, held out his hand the boy in every particular. "Welcome? As welcome as the flowers in May! Come in! Come along in!" Blake had accepted the masquerade; all was as before. Together they passed into the salon, and instantly Blake became host the rôle of rôles for him.
Chapdelaine seated himself that evening on the door-step for his smoke; a stirring of memory brought the remark "Franc will soon be passing. He said that perhaps he would come to see us."
