"Have I ever broken it? Never again will I sing in this City. It is so." Bellamy looked around. The garden of the villa was enclosed by high gray stone walls. They were secure here, at least, from eavesdroppers. She rested her fingers lightly upon his arm, holding up the skirts of her loose gown with her other hand. "I have spoken to you," he said, "of Dorward, the American journalist."
I have once or twice crept outside the bedroom door when neither children nor George thought of eavesdroppers, and the following little songs are impressions from memory of his. You must imagine them chanted by a voice full of the infinite tenderness of fatherhood, and even then you will but dimly realise the music they have as he sings them. I run the risk of his forgiving my printing them here:
The meeting was held in the upper room of the east wing of the palace, safely removed from eavesdroppers, two armed guards on the outside of the door adding to the isolation of the council. General Bambos, though short of stature, weighed an eighth of a ton.
There was a moment of tense silence and then a single plucking sound which various eavesdroppers might have located at the surface of the ditch or near Linda's plump left cheek. Neither guess would have been wrong, for if she sighed once more it was not for the vanishing Lombard runes.
Dover's sharp eye caught a glimpse of the face among the gooseberry bushes, and suspected eavesdroppers, or whether the child's earnest desire to make peace touched him, who shall say? Certain it is that his eyes twinkled like a boy's, as he said rather loudly, in his most affable tone, "I shall be most happy to send Miss Henrietta a basket of fruit. She used to be a charming young woman.
"Signor," said the melodious voice of Nisida, in its sweetest, softest tones, "it is due to myself to tender fitting excuse for introducing you thus into my private chamber; but the necessity of discoursing together without fear of interruption, and in some place that is secure from the impertinence of eavesdroppers, must serve as an apology."
"You know, we agreed to carry the provisions all in one boat, and yours is the only one that will hold them all." "I tell you, Frank, we're gone suckers," said Ben. "You fellows seem to be pretty well posted as to the coast-guards' intentions," said Frank. "Yes," said George; "we've been spying about and playing eavesdroppers all day."
"I know it, Madame," said I, "and Bold is a happy dog now that his master is come home." Francezka's brow clouded a little, and she looked about her to be sure that no gardeners or possible eavesdroppers were near. "No," she said gravely, even with a little quiver of her lip. "Bold is not a happy dog.
The ha'nt business, I dare say, was started as a joke, and was kept up as being a convenient method of warding off eavesdroppers. Why Jefferson came back and why Radnor gave him money are not matters that concern us; if they prefer to keep it a secret that's their own affair.
Pertinax strolled to the front of the pavilion and looked out to make sure there were no eavesdroppers, staring for a long time at the revelry that was warming up into an orgy. They were dancing in rings under the moon, their shadowy figures rendered weird by smoky torchlight. Cornificia at last broke on his reverie: "You wish to join them, Pertinax?
