And then, because I could not bear to see him so pale and still and silent, I covered him with my cloak. I remember the tears wet upon Anthony's haggard face and my uncle George crouched in a chair, clenched fists beneath square chin, staring wide-eyed on vacancy. "Dead!" he exclaimed in an agonised half-whisper. "I mean to say he's dead, d'ye see. Jervas dead seems so impossible!
Then, turning to Lady Louisa, who seemed rather surprised at his speaking to me, he added, "Give me leave, sister, to introduce Miss Anville to you." Lady Louisa, half-rising, said, very coldly, that she should be glad of the honour of knowing me; and then, abruptly turning to Lord Merton and Mr. Lovel, continued, in a half-whisper, her conversation.
One pane of the window had been pasted up with paper, and leaves torn off by the wind could be heard pattering against the paper. "I tell you what, good Christian," said Artyom in a hoarse little tenor half-whisper, staring with unblinking, scared-looking eyes at the hunter. "I am not afraid of wolves or bears, or wild beasts of any sort, but I am afraid of man.
At any other time he would have winced with pain, but now he had no thought for himself. Moreover, there was something wonderfully sustaining in the powerful hand that had been laid upon his. "She ought not to take it so hard, George," he began. "They told you he never came out of the anæsthetic," said George, in a half-whisper. "Just died—like that?" "That's what he said.

I here dropped a little behind, as if to examine a plant, and in a half-whisper said to Lady Jane "How came it that you alone, Lady Jane, should forget I had made another appointment?
They passed so close to Colonel Grand that David's elbow touched his arm, but neither of them looked at him. She hastily entered the waiting carriage, a sort of panic overtaking her.

"Sober, by thunder!" ejaculated Weary in an ecstatic half-whisper. "Dock, you've got a chance to make a record for yourself to-night if we ain't too late," he added bodefully. "Do yuh know where we're headed for?"
Then he went into the hotel with the uncertain step that betokens an undecided mind. When he got to the window he looked out at her retreating figure a white street with this grey-clad healthy-looking girl walking down it, and the little red box-sleigh with the baby in it which she pushed before her. He was quite alone, and he gave vent to an emphatic half-whisper to himself.
"The best?" she echoed, in the same half-whisper as when she had flattered him, that afternoon in the dusky well of the pagoda stairway. "The very best friend? Don't you think you have a better?" Rudolph stared. "Oh, you funny, funny boy!" she cried, with a bewildering laugh, of delight and pride.
