And, as you walk, the surf upon the reef for ever calls and calk; sometimes loudly with a deep, resonant boom, but mostly with a soft, faint murmur like the low-breathed sigh of a woman when she lies her cheek upon her lover's breast and looks upward to his face with eyes aglow and lips trembling for his kiss. Far, far above a feint note.
He soothed her with caresses and low-breathed words of endearment; of hope, too, that the separation might not be a long one. "What is it, Max?" whispered Lulu, "has papa got his orders?" "Yes; and has to be off in less than three days," replied Max, in husky tones, and hastily brushing away a tear. Lulu's eyes filled, but by a great effort she kept the tears from falling.
There was a faint metallic click, barely audible above his low-breathed exclamation and the door opened and closed behind him. The flashlight in his hand winked once and went out. Small, glass-topped counters were on either side of the somewhat restricted aisle in which he stood; directly in front of him, at the rear of the store, was a door, leading, obviously, to the living rooms beyond.

The low-breathed sentences which she spoke into the ear of the sufferer and the dying carried them upwards to God.
