He run right past the straw pile, and before you could say Jack Robinson, I had him by the hitch-strap it was draggin' and hoppin' against the straw, I jumped on him." "Jack Robinson," Zene's hearer tried half-audibly. "Then what? Did the man and woman run?" "I makes old Gray jump the straw pile, and I comes at them just like I rose out of the ground!
She made a curtsy to which the duke replied with his most formal bow of state. The sparkle of amusement was in his eyes. "The little goose-girl!" he said half-audibly. "Yes, Highness." Gretchen's face was serious and her eyes were mournful. She carried an envelope in her hand tightly. "Come to me, Gretchen," said the princess. "What is it?"
Fain would I search out the meaning of words faintly gasped with intermingled sobs and broken sentences half-audibly spoken between earth and the judgment-seat. An awful woman! She is the patron-saint of young physicians and the bosom-friend of old ones.
This affair'll get into the newspapers, over on the main, and if 'tis said that Constable Ward was too old for his duty, whatever'll become of me?" Mr. Pope turned away with a sniff of disgust. "People of a certain class," said he half-audibly, "can see nothing but as it affects themselves.
Once he remarked to himself, half-audibly: "I must confer with Father Gleeson. He would suggest the necessary details." Thus did he go, smiling and occasionally laughing to himself as some particularly amusing aspect of that which he was considering struck him.

The Directeur said nothing when I entered. The Directeur extended a piece of paper, which I read. The Directeur said, with an attempt at amiability: "Alors, vous allez sortir."

"Well, you ARE a fool, aren't you?" he apostrophized it half-audibly. He was standing before the picture as she entered. Even in the trying contiguity of that peerless work he would have been called a fine-looking man. As he advanced to greet her, it was evident that his military title was not one of the mere fanciful sobriquets of the locality.
But that captain had won his high rank neither by accident nor by "pull" he understood at once. "It must be an emergency," he growled, half-audibly, still staring at his lowly Q. M. clerk, "to make Samms uncover his whole organization." He turned and curtly dismissed the wondering O. D. Then: "All right! Out with it!"
There were women among the newly-arrived who inspected the dark girl with that calm, unflinching, impertinent scrutiny and half-audibly whispered comment which, had they been of the opposite sex, would have warranted their being kicked out of the conveyance, but which was ignored by the fair object and her friends as completely as were the commentators themselves.
