It was a raw, midwinter day and the wind drifting in from the north-east presaged a storm. But the magnificent beast, black as a raven's wing, did not mind it. With head low, tail almost touching the dash-board, and eyes sparkling with animation, she clipped along with great strides. The parson gave a half-audible chuckle as he settled back in the seat and gripped the reins more firmly.
Utterly unconscious of the presence of any one else, unconscious even of what he said, he poured forth a thousand wild, passionate, yet half-audible expressions; and as he bore her to a bank by the roadside, and seating himself supported her against his bosom, it would be difficult perhaps to say, whether something of delight of burning and thrilling delight was not mingled with his anxiety and terror.
Unable finally to smother the evidence of his steadily growing fright, Frank uttered a half-audible moan. Joe in the next bunk put it down as a new and threatening phenomenon.

She never had a son, but she thought, if God had presented her with one, he ought to have resembled the Jackal. That he came to bid her good-by, moved her, and she said in a half-audible voice: "Monsieur Zouave!" Coucou remained standing. "Come this way! Are you, perhaps, afraid of me? On previous occasions you were less timid."
