"She has ringlets in her hair," sang Margaret happily a low, half-hushed little song. She held up a strand of it to demonstrate this fact. "There's a dimple in her chin" and, indeed, there was. And a dimple in either cheek, too. For a long time afterward she continued to smile at the mirror. I am afraid Kathleen Saumarez was right. She was a vain little cat, was Margaret.
Somewhere in a neighboring thicket a bird trilled out his song a contented, half-hushed song that called his mate to witness how infinitely blest above all other birds was he. Mr. Charteris heard him to the end, and languidly made as to applaud; then Mr. Charteris raised his eyebrows. "Of your husband, Patricia?" he queried.
And the enormous depths of the organs' peals rolled and lost themselves by degrees in a hail of little sharp notes, which were swept away under the high arches, like the morning song of the lark. There was a long waving movement, a half-hushed sound amongst the reverential crowd, who filled to overflowing even the side-aisles and the nave.
Then ensued a murmur and half-hushed tumult; as if the auditors, released from the high spell that had transported them into the region of another's mind, were returning into themselves, with all their awe and wonder still heavy on them.

Blanchard interrupted. "Ban't the time to argue, Will. Do it, an' do it sharp, if't will add wan grain o' hope to the baaby's chance." The younger woman's sufferings rose to a frantic half-hushed scream at the protracted delay. "O Christ, why for do 'e hold back? Ban't anything worth tryin' for your awn son? I'd scratch the stone out wi' my raw, bleedin' finger-bones if I was a man.
Cope's response was dry and meagre; free speech was impossible over a lodging-house telephone set in the public hall. Amy, who knew little of Cope's immediate surroundings at the moment, went on in accents of protest and of grievance, and Cope went on replying in a half-hushed voice as non- committally as he was able.
"I've hunted enough to know how dogs show that." "Fine! We'll give you credit for that point, Steve, because it's a fact," laughed the trapper, in a half-hushed way. "Aw! I ain't quite such a silly as I look," remarked Steve. "I should think not," said Max, and Steve hardly knew whether to take the observation as a compliment or the reverse.
