When in his last gasp, as it were, he is relieved, by awaking from his uneasy slumbers; which he does suddenly, and with a terrified cry. Finding it has been all a dream, and glad to think it so, he says nothing; and the others not having heard his half-stifled cry, soon again falls asleep.
It was the first time that this mode of obtaining information had been used in Black's cottage, and it failed entirely, for Ramblin' Peter was staunch, and, although inhumanly thrashed and probed with sword-points, the poor lad remained dumb, insomuch that the soldiers at length set him down as an idiot, for he did not even cry out in his agonies excepting in a curious, half-stifled manner because he knew well that if his master were made aware by his cries of what was going on he would be sure to hasten to the rescue at the risk of his life.
She sprang up, a spot of crimson in either cheek. Had he looked at her, the manager would certainly have noted her strange look. "I'll come in a minute," she called to him in a half-stifled voice. She laved her eyes and cheeks in cool water, removing such marks of her emotion as she could. Then she bundled up the hermit's scenario and joined Mr. Hammond in the car.
Hardly was this done, when I heard the word "Miles!" uttered in a low, half-stifled exclamation. It was not easy for me to mistake the voice of Lucy; she was seated so near the trunk of a cedar that her dark dress had been confounded with the shadows of the tree. I went to the spot, and took a seat at her side.
Still through my sleep I heard the sounds around me, the heavy tramp of infantry, the clash of the moving squadrons, and the dull roll of artillery; and ever and anon the half-stifled cry of pain, mingling with the reckless carol of some drinking-song, all flitted through my dreams, lending to my thoughts of home and friends a memory of glorious war.
He recalled all he had said, and tried to piece things together; an inner meaning seemed to be eluding him. Again, in memory, he heard the half-stifled cry that had drawn him to her side, felt her hands in his, the springy resistance of her hair, the delicate skin of her eyelids. Then, he had not understood the sudden impulse that had made him spring to his feet.
And so, to make history, there must be a great deal of resistance to conquer and of weight to drag. January 5, 1877. This morning I am altogether miserable, half-stifled by bronchitis walking a difficulty the brain weak this last the worst misery of all, for thought is my only weapon against my other ills.
They had arrived at the top of a long line of some eight hundred men in single file, and Lord George had turned his head to look back, when a loud cry of recognition in that peculiar and half-stifled tone which a voice has, when it is raised in the open air and in the midst of a great concourse of persons was heard, and a man stepped with a shout of laughter from the rank, and smote Barnaby on the shoulders with his heavy hand.
I was trying to answer, when we heard the front door open and some one speaking to Parker. Was that Miss Darrell's voice? Mr. Hamilton heard it, for he moved away, and Gladys gave a half-stifled exclamation as he opened the door and confronted his cousin. 'Where are you all? she asked, in a laughing voice. 'You look like bats or ghosts in the moonlight.
It is not a prejudice, darling believe me! it belongs, for me at any rate, to Catholic obligation." She took no notice of the hands. With her own she clung to the table behind her. "Why do you give so much to the Sisters? It is not right! They give a very bad education!" He stared at her. How pale she had grown and this half-stifled voice!
