He stood before her in the most respectful attitude, and every gesture showed sincere respect for her. The poor girl faltered impulsively in a half-whisper. "But may I... kneel down... to you now?" "No, you can't do that." He smiled at her magnificently, so that she too laughed joyfully at once. In the same melodious voice, coaxing her tenderly as though she were a child, he went on gravely.
"The vessel ran aground at the Meloria, a dangerous shoal outside Leghorn, and through the stupidity of her captain was very nearly lost." "Yes?" she gasped, in a half-whisper, bending to me eagerly, unable to sufficiently conceal the terrible anxiety consuming her. "And you did you go aboard her?" "Yes," was the only word I uttered.
"If any off-world explorers had set down on Terra after the Burn-Off," observed Soriki softly, "they would have come up against Pax. And just how long would they have lasted?" Hobart had turned away. If he heard that half-whisper, he did not choose to acknowledge it.
"Isn't it mysterious?" she asked, in a half-whisper, for loud tones would make jarring notes in this haunt of silence. "Can anything have happened to the Padre?" "Things don't happen these days," Nick reassured her. But he was not quite easy in his mind. "It's too dark for you to see the vestments well. Shall I carry them downstairs?" "No," said Angela. "I'd rather look at them here.
At length an old man came near to me, and dropping his voice to a half-whisper, said in a confidential tone: "N-e-ow, Mr. Butler, I want to advise you as a friend, and for your own good, when you get away, just keep away." I knew this man was a Yankee, for I am a Yankee myself. His name was Ira Norris.
Seeing he was silent, she repeated softly and with a half smile. "'Now'?" "Now," continued Leroy quickly, and in a half-whisper; "I do know you partly, but I must know you more! You will give me the chance to do that?" His look said more than his words, and her face grew paler than before. She turned from him to the child at her side "Pequita, are you very tired?"
The scenery here is grand. Don't you think so, Mr Briscoe?" "Beats grand," was the reply; "but, my word, if gold wasn't a dangerous word to name in these boats, I should like to land with a hammer and prospect a bit up among these rocks on either side. If they're not full of rich ore I don't know paying stuff when I see it." "Let it rest," said Brace, in a half-whisper.
Reckage joined her and said, under his voice, "You think I ought to go, don't you?" This question given in a half-whisper seemed to establish a fresh intimacy between them. It was the renewal of their old friendship on deeper terms. "Yes, you must go," she answered; "and, Beauclerk, write to me and tell me how he bears it." "He is accustomed to a repressive discipline on these matters.
Evidently all this was by way of preparation for something unpleasant. "That was only last spring," said Michael. His tired voice sank for a sentence or two into a meditative half-whisper. "And it was MY last spring of all. I shall not be growing weak any more, or drawing hard breaths, when the first warm weather comes. It will be one season to me hereafter, always the same."
She was absent-minded to a degree, and answered at cross purposes, and sometimes not at all. But the puzzle and mystery of Aglaya was not yet over for the evening. The last exhibition fell to the lot of the prince alone. When they had proceeded some hundred paces or so from the house, Aglaya said to her obstinately silent cavalier in a quick half-whisper: "Look to the right!"
