The topsail halyards had been let go, and the great sails filling out and backing against the masts with a noise like thunder. The wind was whistling through the rigging, loose ropes flying about; loud and, to me, unintelligible orders constantly given and rapidly executed, and the sailors "singing out" at the ropes in their hoarse and peculiar strains.
"Not a single second. Death does not tarry, and life also ought not to tarry." "And when and where have people taken it into their heads to make marmots of themselves?" he cried at four in the morning, in a voice that was now somewhat hoarse, "Why, here! Why, now! In Russia! When on every separate individual there lies a duty, a great responsibility, before God, before the nation, before himself!
The smile on Quasimodo's face became bitter and profoundly sad. Time passed. He had been there at least an hour and a half, wounded, incessantly mocked, and almost stoned to death. Suddenly he again struggled in his chains with renewed despair, and breaking the silence which he had kept so stubbornly, he cried in a hoarse and furious voice, "Water!"
In a hoarse whisper he told the fellow of the success of his mission and of the plan, slipping to him the cap and goggles through the bars. Locke had been waiting for hours impatiently on his bunk, but now was all attention, though he was careful not to betray it.

They took me by surprise in Western parlance, got the drop on me. Of course they'll come back, but all the doors and windows are fast, and we could hear them breaking in, while in this kind of work the risk is with the aggressor." A pounding on the door cut him short, and a hoarse, partly muffled voice reached us: "We're about sick of fooling, and mean solid business now," it said.

She laughed softly and moved away. "Of course," she said, "of course, you must kill him."
He was smothered in perspiration and dust, his voice was hoarse, and his clothes were covered all over with bits of wood shavings and pieces of green moss. The labourers stood by silently, half afraid and half amused. Nejdanov glanced at Markelov, and Ostrodumov's remark, "What is the good of it all? All the same, it will have to be altered afterwards," flashed across his mind.
"You have seen the leader in the Oracle this morning?" asked the Archdeacon, nervously biting his quill. "Perfectly monstrous, I think! I shall withdraw my subscription." "With the Oracle," said the Professor, "it will be a mere question of success or failure. At present they are inclined to back the rebellion." "And not much wonder!" put in the Dean's hoarse voice.
