He spoke of you to me very fully at the last when we both saw that his death was merely a question of days. I saw then what I had sometimes suspected before, that you had absorbed his whole life, that his devotion to you was a kind of religion." "He loved me?" she asked at last, in a hushed, strange voice, white to the lips. Oswyn bowed his head. "Ever since you were a child.
The music of her voice was suddenly hushed, as though she had hurriedly, almost in terror, thrown a robe of reticence about an impulsive naturalness not to be displayed before strangers. As for the storekeeper, he was evidently a familiar acquaintance. He had known her he said, after she was gone since she was a little girl.
"Yes," said Mary, in a hushed tone. There were some old fields on the right-hand now, and a wood on the left. Just within the wood a turtle-dove was cooing. "I don't mean that," said the man, softly. "No," said Mary, "you mean this, away over here." She pointed across the fields, almost straight away in front.
But his frail body was not equal to the demands of the undaunted spirit upon it, and so he went to his grave broken but not beaten great even in that last desperate stand he had made for his own position, as he was great in all that he had undertaken, suffered and achieved for his country.

Even the clamorous cicada had hushed its insistent whir. We were dressed in brown kaki suits.
Conversing no more now, and walking at my side, he yielded himself up to the one aim of his devoted life, and went on, with that hushed concentration of his faculties which would have made his figure solitary in a multitude. We were not far from Blackfriars Bridge, when he turned his head and pointed to a solitary female figure flitting along the opposite side of the street.
Then the noise was hushed, and a silence of expectation and attention reigned, as the lads cut off slices of the meat and, spitting them on pieces of green wood, held them over the fire. Tom made signs to the chief and those sitting round to fetch meat, and follow their example.
Rougon endeavoured to raise doubts by saying the villages were taking up arms in order to join the army of the insurgents, and not for the purpose of attacking the town. But the gentlemen, by their silent consternation, made it clear that they had formed their own opinion, and were not to be consoled. "I can hear the 'Marseillaise' now," remarked Granoux in a hushed voice. It was indeed true.
If it came to a physical test he felt sure he could break his slighter partner with his bare hands, and as for endurance well, he was hungry for a chance to demonstrate it. They talked little; men seldom converse in the wastes, for there is something about the silence of the wilderness which discourages speech. And no land is so grimly silent, so hushed and soundless, as the frozen North.
