"Yes, sir; I saw him." "Is he any better?" "Much better he died in my arms, sir. An' now I'm ready to go back, there's a police-station in the village." He stopped suddenly and turned to stare back at the lighted windows of the cottage, and when he spoke again his voice sounded hoarser than ever. "Thought I'd come back from furrin parts, 'e did, wi' my pockets stuffed full o' gold an' bank-notes.
A little dog was lowered into the den, but he took no notice of it. 10 P. M. Every symptom of fever returned with increased violence. He panted very much, and did not remain in the same posture two seconds. He was continually running to the end of his chain and attempting to bite. He was eagerly and wildly watching some imaginary object. His voice was hoarser more of the howl mixing with it.
But he was striking out strongly, though his voice grew hoarser and more weak as he neared the edge, where, ghastly-looking and shivering, he snatched at Mr Rebble's hand, and allowed himself to be helped out. "Don't make that noise, Burr major," cried the master. "What's the matter with you? Speak." "Gone down drowning! Oh oh!"
And louder and hoarser came the roar of the waters; and swift rusted the shades of night over the hastening tide. And Morven said in a stern voice: "Where is the king; and wherefore is he absent from his people in the hour of dread?"
There was but one thing it could be. A travelling menagerie in town had lost its Polish wolf that very day. This was the Polish wolf. The horrible panting, like the panting of a famished creature, came nearer, grew louder, grew hoarser. The animal had found a bone in the grass, and was crunching it in his ghastly way. Then she could hear him sniffing at the door.
"Travellers in need of assistance, and who " began a polite and even musical voice, which was interrupted by a hoarse voice: "Open in the king's name, will you?" "Open in the fiend's name, won't you?" called out a third and hoarser voice; "or we'll fire through the windows and burn the place down. "What do you want?"
"What were you afraid of?" a brusque voice interrupted. "What was I afraid of?" "At all events, you joined your uncle in killing your father, didn't you?" "In such an hour one has not time to think one just kills a man because one can't help oneself, or because it seems so easy to kill." "True," the hoarser voice commented in dull and ponderous accents.
A fish-hawk, which, secure on the topmost branches of a dead pine, had been a distant spectator of the fray, now swooped from his high and ragged perch, and soared, in wide sweeps, above his prey; while a jay, whose noisy voice had been stilled by the hoarser cries of the savages, ventured again to open his discordant throat, as though once more in undisturbed possession of his wild domains.
Sometimes for a few moments the sound sank imperceptibly lower and lower and seemed making ready to stop. Then reinforced by fresh thousands of throats, doubtless wetted by copious drafts of samshu, it grew again suddenly, rising stronger and stronger, hoarser and hoarser, more insane and more possessed, until the tympanums of our ears were so tortured that they seemed fit to burst.
But still, although they had now traversed the chasm for seventy or eighty miles, they found no close and no declension to its solemn grandeur. At last came another menace, a murmur deeper and hoarser than that of the rapid, steadily swelling as they advanced until it was a continuous thunder.
