This was evidently his best plan; the wisest thing he could do was to believe himself mad. Fatal fever! Every man, surprised by the unexpected, has at times felt the throb of such tragic pulsations. The observer ever listens with anxiety to the echoes resounding from the dull strokes of the battering-ram of destiny striking against a conscience. Alas! Gwynplaine put himself questions.
"But it listens to you now," said Raphael. "A pleasing illusion which has kept me too long in my false position. With all its love and reverence, do you think it forgets I am its hireling?
"Speak no more, Lord of men and elephants; the Durwan is now outside the door, and he listens." "Good-night," said Joicey loudly, and he clicked off the light and went to bed. If the darkness was close in the large houses of the Cantonment, it was shut into the very essence of itself in the curio shop in Paradise Street.
"There we go again. She's got us fairly gravelled," said Alaric despondently. "Of course I can truthfully tell him that, at times, she is very tractable and obedient." "AT TIMES! About two minutes a week! When Jerry's around. How on earth he puts up with her I can't understand. She follows him about like a little dog. Listens to him. Behaves herself.

"As it happens," I remarked, "I've heard Mr. Beasley talk." "Why, of course he talks," she returned, "when there's any real use in it. And he talks to children; he's THAT kind of man."
There was a flutter in the bushes and birds flew away and a rabbit scampered over a log. It was a loud cry of distress and all nature heeds the cry of pain. Laugh and the bird listens; shriek and it flies away. "Whoa!" shouted Jasper. "What was that yell?" "Someone in distress," Tom answered. "Seems to be over to the left." They listened.
Bébée listened, leaning her round elbows on the table, and her warm cheeks on her hands, as a child gravely listens to a fairy story. But the sumptuous picture, and the sensuous phrase he had chosen, passed by her. It is of no use to tempt the little chaffinch of the woods with a ruby instead of a cherry.
