"Boy !" he wrestled with a slight bronchial huskiness, cleared his throat, tried again, and gave it up, contenting himself with, "Beg your pardon for callin' you 'Boy. You're a seasoned old-timer, sah." And the Boy felt as if some Sovereign had dubbed him Knight. In a day or two now, from north or south, the first boat must appear. The willows were unfolding their silver leaves.
The melting tenderness of her gaze, the glowing softness of her face, the beauty, bewitched him; and beyond that, a sweet, impelling gladness stirred within him and would not be denied. He thrilled as her fingers lightly, timidly touched his, and opened his broad hand to press hers closely and warmly. "Lass," he whispered, with a huskiness and unsteadiness unnatural to his deep voice.
When the fourth came, "Look here!" said George huskily. "You going to keep this up all night? What do you mean by it?" For an instant she seemed confused. "That's what cotillions are for, aren't they?" she murmured. "What do you mean: what they're for?" "So that a girl can dance with a person she wants to?" George's huskiness increased.
"Well, Major, you had no business to bring those girls up here and you know it!" said the Colonel rousing to the old subject again. "Why not, Colonel, didn't they do fine?" "Yes, they did," said the Colonel with tears springing suddenly into his eyes and a huskiness into his voice, "but, Major, think what if we'd lost one of them!" "Colonel," said the Zone Major gently, "my girls are soldiers.
And anyway " Her voice had acquired a huskiness in this speech that now left her incoherent, and the light revealed a wetness in her eyes. She dabbed at them with a handkerchief. "Of course you can take it to-night," he said in masterful tones, "after all you've done for me." "Now you listen," she began. "You don't know all I've done for you. You don't know me at all.
His face shone as white as the starlit sand. His mouth was partly open. "I'm devilish sorry for you Nat " he said. His words came with painful slowness. There was a grating huskiness in his voice. "This damned rawhide is pinching my Adam's apple " He smiled. His white teeth gleamed, his eyes laughed, and with a heart bursting with grief Nathaniel looked away from him.
I was glad to find that the old man had got out of his bunk, and was standing at the door. "Is my poor girl safe, sir?" he exclaimed, with the same huskiness of voice that had grated so unpleasantly in the girl's tone. "Quite safe; come along." "Thanks be to Almighty God!" he ejaculated, and burst into tears.
"Thank you," said the old man, and there was something in his voice which may have been emotion, or may have been the huskiness of the heavy drinker's throat. The girl gave it the former explanation. Perhaps it was his unintended tribute to that touch of womanly attentiveness to which his old heart still beat response.
"It is very natural," said Ellen, with some huskiness of voice, "that I should say so, because I feel so." "You do not mean to say," said Mr. Lindsay, "that this Mr. and Miss Somebody these people I don't know their names " "There is only one now, Sir." "This person you call your brother do you mean to say you have the same regard for him as if he had been born so?"
Maria had been so exceedingly long; now and then, mingling with his words, incidental praises, less qualified than before, to the blacks, for their general good conduct. These particulars were not given consecutively, the servant, at convenient times, using his razor, and so, between the intervals of shaving, the story and panegyric went on with more than usual huskiness.
