His head was dropped forward, his shoulders were bowed, and the fingers were no longer restless. All the man's defences were at last down. "Now, then, Burke," I went on calmly, "I suppose we are ready to get down to business?" He muttered inaudibly, without raising his head. "What's that?" sharply, "You devil!" he whispered. "Yes, yes, I know. I 've heard that from you before.
This is the sole use to which, without your consent, we have presumed to put the secret we have learned. Do you pardon George now?" Waife's lips murmured inaudibly, but his face grew very bright; and as it was raised upwards, Lionel's ear caught the whisper of a name it was not Jasper, it was "Lizzy."
That fellow's idea of camouflaging was to bury himself under a couple of tons of green stuff and then move the whole business along like a clumsy old Zeppelin. I can camouflage myself with a branch with ten leaves on it by studying the light." "Anybody can see you've learned something about scouting that's one sure thing," said Tom proudly. "One sure thing!" Roscoe laughed inaudibly.
Every whisper was exaggerated to a shout, so that the ears were deafened and longed for quiet quiet which, unlike silence, consisted of a multitude of small sounds singing, almost inaudibly, together. Shortly after noon the light faded, and the blinding whiteness was converted into iron grey. Over to the westward the sun was hidden, and the horizon became threatening with a leaden bank of cloud.
"The lawyers are coming down to-morrow; the evidence is quite complete." There was silence for a minute or two; then Celia, with her heart beating fast and heavily, said, in a still lower voice, "There is something else I must tell you, Lady Heyton.

And as if warned that she had been too pressing, she recoiled humbly. But suddenly she turned, and stood absolutely rigid; then almost inaudibly whispered: "Listen! Someone out out there!" And darting past him she turned out the light.
Nastasya was overcome with a fit of laughter. She was given to laughter and when anything amused her, she laughed inaudibly, quivering and shaking all over till she felt ill. "And have you made much money by your thinking?" she managed to articulate at last. "One can't go out to give lessons without boots. And I'm sick of it." "Don't quarrel with your bread and butter."

"It would be such a good thing for both," muttered she, almost inaudibly. "Giacomo," said Riccabocca, as he was undressing that night in the large, comfortable, well-carpeted English bedroom, with that great English four-posted bed in the recess which seems made to shame folks out of single blessedness, "Giacomo, I have had this evening the offer of probably L6000, certainly of four thousand."
