Did no one know what had happened to him? Dove made light of the friendship, but volunteered his services, and was bidden to make inquiries. He went that afternoon. Frau Krause looked a little gruffer than of old; and left him to find his own way to Maurice's room. In accordance with the new state of things, Dove knocked ceremoniously at the door.
The gruffer of the two voices pulled up the speaker. "To think," it said, "that you can actually talk about it all!" "Why shouldn't I? My father brought tears to the eyes of many an innocent person." "A fig for people's tears! If our causes of tears were one and all to be murdered, what would the state of things become? Shed tears, but never blood; for blood is not yours to shed.
She laughed out musically, and we followed suit in our gruffer voices; and then she said: "Of course I do, neighbour; don't you?" "Well, I don't know," quoth the old fellow; then he added, as if somewhat ashamed of himself: "Besides, you know, when the waters are out and all Runnymede is flooded, it's none so pleasant." "I should like it," quoth Dick.
Captain Slingsby's voice sounded louder and gruffer than usual, "I'll warrant him a true-blue, sportsman every inch, and damme! one of the right sort too, sit a horse with any man, bird at a fence, and ready to give or take odds on his chances, I'll swear " "Now really," Mr. Chichester's tone was softer than ever, "he would seem to be a general favorite here.

I tried to make my reproaches gentler, to lend my voice a hint of friendly humour, but in spite of me the one sounded gruffer and the other sourer with everything I said. This was the worse because of the continued silence of the victim: he did not once answer, nor by the slightest movement alter his attitude until I had finished and more than finished.

And in the pond lived a whole colony of great green bullfrogs, whose voices were gruffer and grummer than the lowest twanging note on Hervé's harp. And as soon as Hervé began to sing these rude frogs began to bellow and growl as if trying to drown his music. Perhaps they were jealous; for Hervé's voice was sweeter than a silver bell. But all they could sing was "Ker-chog!
Rybin spoke curtly and decisively, his voice grew gruffer and gruffer, and his bearded face reddened as with the strain of exertion. "Now, then, the masters write the books and distribute them. But the writings in the books are against these very masters. Now, tell me, why do they spend their money and their time to stir up the people against themselves? Eh?"
When Ferrand had gone off with a portmanteau in each hand, he sat down and told Antonia: . . . The poor chap broke down and sat crying like a child; and instead of making me feel sorry, it turned me into stone. The more sympathetic I wanted to be, the gruffer I grew. Is it fear of ridicule, independence, or consideration, for others that prevents one from showing one's feelings?
Mike did not forget to secure the wolf-skin; and just as the sun sank behind the trees, we were saluted by the sharp, joyous barking of Snap, Yelp, and Pop, and by the gruffer tones of Quambo, who rushed out of the hut to welcome us home. We had plenty of work to do after we returned home, but I managed to make a run over to the settlement to pay a visit to my uncle and aunt and Lily.
