He gave the sidewise toss of his head, which had come to be so familiar to her, as though he were tossing a lock of hair from his forehead, but he said nothing more, following her down the long hall in silence. It was as though she had physically felt the steel of his blade slide gratingly once more down from her parry.
I saw Captain Malan turn to his senior. "Come to my cabin!" said Panke gratingly, and led the way. Pyecroft and I stayed still. "It's all right," said Pyecroft. "They daren't leave us loose aboard for one revolution," and I knew that he had seen what I had seen. "You, too!" said Captain Malan, returning suddenly.
He held a sword in his hand, and his face wore an ugly look as his words came harshly and gratingly with the foreign accent of the Korinchi people. He went on, still standing, near the doorway, 'He is sick, O Pĕnghûlu, and the noise of your words disturbs him. He would slumber and be still. Descend out of the house, he cannot see thee, Pĕnghûlu.

"Fifteen thousand dollars!" she cried, aghast. "Heaven help us! What next?" It was Lucinda who was seated calmly opposite at this crisis. "Do you suppose he really did it?" the aunt continued, after a minute of appalled consideration. "It’s about the only thing he ain’t never done," the tried and true servant answered, her tone more gratingly penetrative than ever.
He tried to smile at her, but it was a pathetic attempt. Then, with an effort, he spoke so hoarsely that they could barely understand him. "It it's my voice," he whispered, gratingly. "Some sort of affection of my vocal chords. You'd better get a doctor. I I must be better by to-morrow." "Poor Daddy!" whispered Ruth. "I'll go down stairs and telephone for Dr. Haldon."
"I wants ter hev speech with ye, stranger." The words, spoken in a harsh voice, fell gratingly on Donald's ears, and brought to an abrupt end the happy thoughts with which his mind was occupied. He stopped, forcing the growling Mike behind him, as Judd stepped out from the bushes, squarely across his path.
The spectators beheld the jolting vehicle come slowly and gratingly along, like a sturdy recusant, holding back, until the straining horses had tugged it by main force to the brink of the fissure. Here the animals stopped, snorted, eyed the sheer descent with twitching ears and quivering skins, as though they said in equine language, "We're surely not required to drag it down this!"

"I'll give you one more chance there, aborigine;" slowly, with an effort, almost gratingly came the words, like the friction of a rusty spring at the striking of a clock; "and I ain't in the habit of doin' that either, pard." He halted and his great chest heaved with the effort of a mighty breath, his whole body leaned a bit forward.
