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.
Ditte busied herself in the living room, Lars Peter sat by the window trying to read Sörine's last letter. It was only a few words. Sörine was not good at writing; he read and re-read it, in a half-whisper. There was a feeling of oppression in the room. "When's Mother coming out?" asked Ditte, suddenly coming towards him. Lars Peter took up a calendar.
"Guess, then," said Pete, putting his hand behind him. Philip shook his head and smiled feebly. Then, with the expression of a boy on his birthday, Pete leaned over Philip, and said in a half-whisper across the top of his head, "I've heard from Kate." Philip turned ghastly, his lip trembled, and he stammered, "You've you've heard from Kate, have you?"
As he glanced up their eyes met, for she too had turned to peer. Leslie Wrandall was standing near the foot of the stairs. There was an eager, exalted look in his face that slowly gave way to well-assumed unconcern as his friend came upon him and grasped his arm. "I say, Leslie, is is she staying here?" cried Booth, lowering his voice to an excited half-whisper. "Who?" demanded Wrandall vacantly.
Then the word that had struggled for utterance came, and it was in Latin: "Peccavi." It was only that word, but it was enough to make the old Major lean forward, clap one hand on the lad's shoulder, and half-whisper: "Spoken like your father's son!" and then, as the door behind him opened, he half-shouted, "Coming!" Then to his companion, "Now, my lad dinner!"
John was silent; and the farmer in his urgency nudged him, and said in a half-whisper: "Do you speak to her; maybe she will be more apt to do as you say, and will go with us." "I think," said John aloud, "that your sister is quite right in preferring not to be driving about the country in the middle of the week. I'll harness my white horse with yours, and then we can see how they pull together.
There was a minute's silence, and then I said half jokingly, "They'd make you king of the anarchists." I must have repeated his thoughts, for he replied instantly in a half-whisper, "They must;" but perhaps remembering that the admission was a damaging one, he stopped in his walk and addressed me with folded arms and lowered brow. "I beg of you to spare me such jest, Monsieur Cospatric.
"Mama!" breathed Weary, in a horrified half-whisper. And Slim, goggle-eyed beside him, blurted, "Well, by golly!" in a voice that carried across the corral. That he landed lightly on his feet, with the cigarette still between his lips, the roosting twenty-five quite overlooked. They saw only the first jump, where Andy, riding loose and unguardedly, went up on the blue withers.
Three miles up river swept my moving-van; and from the distance I could hear the half-whisper which was yet a roar of Case as he admonished his children. "Mon," he would say to a shirking, shrinking coolie second-story man, "mon, do you t'ink dis the time to sleep? What toughts have you in your bosom, dat you delay de Professor's household?"
"Perhaps," he announced in a guarded tone, "it is, in a fashion, dread of the wrath to come though my conscience is clear. But you" in his half-whisper she caught an eager note of hope "why aren't you asleep?" She shook her head and in the moon-bath her face flashed into a luminous smile. "I am working up that wrath," she assured him. "I am preparing to be terribly angry with you tomorrow."
