"Trev," she pleaded. "What's the use, Hester?" he said; "it can't be." "Well, God bless you, anyway, dear," she said chokingly. He passed on, leaving her in the shadows of the buildings, and walked far out on the plains. Making a circuit to avoid meeting the woman again, he skirted the back yards, stumbling over tin cans and debris in his progress.
Then, at last, just as the clock of a nearby church most solemnly boomed forth eight reverberating strokes, a chastened little figure slid out of the great chair, and groped its way slowly, painfully along until it reached Claire's side. "I will be good!" Radcliffe whispered chokingly, so low she had to bend her head to hear. Claire laid her arms about him and he clung to her neck, trembling.
Gaspingly, Williams stumbled over the words on a ragged page that had been torn from a Bible. The rough men who stood about him bowed their wild heads upon their breasts, and sobs broke from them. At last Williams stopped his reading, stretched his long arms above his head, and cried chokingly: "The great God keep Mees Cummins!"
"I thought that father would never know," she faltered, chokingly. "He hoards his money, and a few thousands more or less would make no difference to him. There was every chance that he would never discover the loss. It was as much mine as his. He has thousands that belonged to my mother, which he cheated me out of.
From behind it came a frightened little squeal. "Oh, there you are!" said Baxter. "Mary-'Gusta, is that you?" There was a rustle, a sob, and then a timid voice said, chokingly, "Yes, sir." "Come out," said the Judge, kindly. "Come out; here are some friends who want to meet you." Another sob and then: "I I don't want to." "Oh, yes, you do. We won't hurt you.
But Jan was far from being really angry, or Gutty had paid with his life for the impudence of his attack; and when the husky chokingly whined for mercy he was allowed to spring to his feet and slink away into a dark corner, with nothing worse than a little skin-wound to worry over.
Near the house was something he had not seen when he had looked before the flutter of a white dress against the background of green. As he looked the white figure moved rapidly through the garden and disappeared behind the house. "She didn't say a word," said Texas chokingly. Ten hours out of Socorro Texas Rankin rode morosely into San Marcial.
He wrestled with his bodily anguish till the perspiration stood in large drops on his forehead. He raised himself, gasping for breath, and glared about him like a trapped beast of prey. "Give me brandy!" he muttered chokingly. "Quick quick! Are you going to let me die like a dog? damn you all!"
"You didn't see anything, did you?" "Last night? I did not see Lennox, if that is what you mean, or Paliser except for a moment, during the crypt scene." Chokingly the musician drew breath. In the effort he gasped. "Then you know." "Yes, I know." The rug rose and fell. It was as though there were a wave beneath it. With an air of detachment, Jones added: "Paliser turned to see who was there.
When the Senora saw Felipe bolstered up in the bed, his eye bright, his color good, his voice clear, eating heartily like his old self, she stood like a statue in the middle of the veranda for a moment; then turning to Alessandro, she said chokingly, "May Heaven reward you!" and disappeared abruptly in her own room. When she came out, her eyes were red.
