She had lived a long while in Petersburg as a girl. Virginsky himself was a man of rare single-heartedness, and I have seldom met more honest fervour. "I will never, never, abandon these bright hopes," he used to say to me with shining eyes. Of these "bright hopes" he always spoke quietly, in a blissful half-whisper, as it were secretly.
My guide uttered some reassuring word in Finnish in a low half-whisper, and then slowly pushed the boat along to the ledge, saying: "Your high nobility may disembark. There is at present no danger."
"Say, Dick, listen here," said Braddock, leaning closer and dropping his voice to a half-whisper. "I've been wantin' you to turn up ever since he joined us. What will you say when I tell you he's got more 'n two thousand dollars with him?" Dick started. "What!" "He has. I've seen it. He's lousy with it." "Well, he came by it honestly," said Dick after a moment.
Indeed, such is the perversity of children that Kate's eyes widened and her mouth sagged when she heard Adam say in a half-whisper to Polly: "This is mighty pretty, but gee, Polly, there'll never be another tree as pretty as ours last year!" While Polly answered: "I was just thinking about it, Adam. Wasn't it the grandest thing?" The next Christmas Mrs.
Arthur came running upstairs, and Hamish met him at the chamber door. Arthur, who appeared strangely agitated, began speaking in a half-whisper, unconscious that his sister was within. She heard every word. "Judy says some young man wants you, Hamish! I fear it may be the fellow to serve the writ. What on earth is to be done?" "Did Judy say I was at home?"
Kate glanced into the weird deeps of foliage, where a bird, fluttering on the wing, aroused strange echoes. "Ugh!" she said, in a half-whisper, "I can imagine it the meeting-place of 'Tam o' Shanter's' eldritches seeing this but, all the same, do you know it is fascinating beyond words to me?
"I'll tell you what I'll do," Bruno said in a half-whisper, as we worked. "Oo like Fairies, don't oo?" "Yes," I said: "of course I do, or I shouldn't have come here. I should have gone to some place where there are no Fairies." Bruno laughed contemptuously. "Why, oo might as well say oo'd go to some place where there wasn't any air supposing oo didn't like air!"
When he felt that he was getting weaker, he wished to say good-by to everybody, and he called us all separately to his bedside, one after the other, and gave his last words of advice to each. He was so weak that he spoke in a half-whisper, and when he had said good-by to one, he had to rest for a while and collect his strength for the rest.
It was a strange question to put, for the girl had not signified that she wished the teacher to come to her. "Nothing," she said. "I thought I could make you come." The girl spoke in a low tone, a kind of half-whisper. She did not lisp, yet her articulation of one or two consonants was not absolutely perfect. "Where did you get that flower, Elsie?" said Miss Darley.
She felt that a crisis had come in her life the first page of a new volume; and the old sad tear-blotted book might be cast away. "Dear angel, wilt thou ever learn to love me?" asked Gustave, in a half-whisper, bending down his bearded face till his lips almost touched her cheek. "It is impossible not to love you," she answered softly.
