At times, moans and gasps came from him, and sometimes curses. Once, as he appeared to be dragged partly from his hold, he screamed like a woman. His whole attitude suggested stubborn despair. I can scarcely tell you how this extraordinary sight affected me. I seemed to stare at it without realising that the affair was a real happening.
G., and Mrs. G., her children, her servants, a barrister and an exorcist, are all disturbed by Noises. Knocks. Sobs. Moans. Thumps. Dragging of heavy weights. One dreadful white face. One little woman. Lights. One white skirt hanging from the ceiling. One figure in brown. One man with freckles. Two human faces. One shadow. One small column of misty vapour.
A few minutes afterwards, when Father Kino came back with an assistant, there were no more moans, for Luella had "gone on to the Sun." The fate of the little boy was never known until then, and then it was only known that he had lived and died and was buried in Skylight. We found houses and lands, but no record that they were ours.
Why, lan' sakes, Mis' McGuire, if all things happened that my bones told me was goin' to happen, there wouldn't none of us be livin' by now, nor the sun shinin', nor the moon moonin'. I found out, after awhile, how they DIDN'T happen half the time, an' I wrote a poem on it, like this: Trust 'em not, them fickle bones, Always talkin' moans an' groans.
Still I am sure I tasted some before I fell into a state of semi- insensibility. As in a trance I heard Temple's moans, and the captain's voice across the gusty wind, and the forlorn crunching of the ship down great waves.
His friends pressed around him with consolation on their tongues, and the blandishments of affection in their manner, for the regrets of the great rarely pass away unheeded, like the moans of the low. "Let me have air!" exclaimed the prince; "give me air or I suffocate! Where is the child of Annunziata? I will at least atone to him for the wrong done his mother!" It was too late.
The January snow and hail are falling in torrents; the wind moans; at a distance the sea roars and dashes inshore as far as the sacred stones of Karnak.
Strangely shaken and frightened Lane lay down in the dark. The partition between his room and Rose's might as well have been paper for all the sound it deadened. He could have escaped that, but he wanted to be near her.... And he listened to Rose's moans in the darkness. Lane shuddered there, helpless, suffering, realizing.
Lezhnyov walked up and down the room a long while, stopped before the window thinking, and murmured half aloud, 'Poor fellow! Then sitting down to the table, he began to write a letter to his wife. But outside a wind had risen, and was howling with ill-omened moans, and wrathfully shaking the rattling window-panes. The long autumn night came on.
Samuel thought of his own abode, meticulously and impeccably 'kept, and a hard bitterness against Mrs. Daniel surged up in his soul. "Is that you, doctor?" said a voice from the bed; the moans ceased. Samuel raised the candle. Dick lay there, his face, on which was a beard of several days' growth, distorted by anguish, sweating; his tousled brown hair was limp with sweat.
