I remember well our silent going to bed that night and how I lay thinking and praying that I might grow fast and soon be able to take the test of manhood that of standing in a half-bushel measure and shouldering two bushels of corn. By and by a wind began to shake the popple leaves above us and the sound soothed me like the whispered "hush-sh" of a gentle mother.
If I slave all the week, I'll do what I please on Sunday." "Hush-sh! There's the boss looking over here!" "Kathleen Donnavon, be still with your ghost-stories. There's one thing in the world I never will hear about, and that's dead people." "Del," said Sene, "I think to-morrow " She stopped.
Anna will cry, and mother and Asenath and Eudora; but Adah, oh Lily, darling. She's coming to me now. Don't you hear that rustle in the grass?" and the doctor listened intently to a sound which also caught Irving's ear, a sound of a horse's neigh in the distance, followed by the tramp of feet. "Hush-sh," he whispered. "It may be the enemy," but his words were not regarded, or understood.
"Oh, if that biscuit'll only last till she gets through praying!" "Hush-sh! She's looking this way." Miss Cardrew began to read. She had read just four verses, when— "Miaow!" Gypsy and Joy were trying very hard to find the place. Miss Cardrew looked up and around the room. It was quite still. She read two verses more. "Mi-aow! mi-aow-aow!"
"The diamond, the rose diamond!" she shrieked. "It's gone! And the carpenters say that new girl Olden came flying from the direction of my dressing-room. I'll hold you responsible " "Hush-sh!" Obermuller lifted his hands and nodded over toward me. "Olden!" she squealed. "Grab her, Topham. I'll bet she stole that diamond, and she can't have got rid of it yet."
Now silence! softly, softly; speak low or speak not at all; sh-sh! Silence! The pair are kneeling. Hush-sh! Frown down that little buzz about the door! Sh-sh!" Bonaventure has rushed in with the crowd. He cannot see the kneeling pair; but there is the curé standing over them and performing the holy rite. The priest stops he has seen Bonaventure! He stammers, and then he goes on.
"That's just a-tunin' up, he'll set the heathen dancin' pretty soon; you see!" some one whispered behind Helen; and then there was a giggle and "hush-sh," as Mr.
"Hush-sh, little one," and Lucy's white, jeweled hand rested on the head of the principal belligerent, who, awed by the beauty of her face and the authoritative tone of her voice, kept quiet till the prayer was over and Arthur had risen from his knees. "Thank you, Lucy; I think I must constitute you my deaconess when Miss Ruthven is gone.
"Hush-sh," said 'Lena "you shan't talk so, for she is sick a great deal, and she does not feign it, either." "Perhaps not," returned John Jr., "but she can at least keep her miserable feelings to herself. Nobody wants to know how many times she's been blistered and bled!"
I'm Elizabeth." He caught at the name. "You lie!" he cried shrilly. "Elizabeth's dead! I won't have her talked about! She's dead, I say! Hush-sh! Hush-sh! Don't wake her up. Sleep's a good thing a good thing." On the table where she had placed the lamp was a tiny bottle marked "chloral." There was also a glass of water upset upon the table.
