At night the wind comes over the top of Deadmanstone Hill, and down the valley, whirls the last leaves off the old trees by the church, and sends them dancing over the closely-ranged gravestones. Then up through the village it comes, and moans round our house all night, like some miserable being wanting to get in.
To this wailing lament succeeded moans from within the house; the sound of a woman's voice came through the casements. "I dare not intrude upon such grief as this," said Genestas to Benassis. "I always go to visit a bereaved family," the doctor answered, "either to certify the death, or to see that no mischance caused by grief has befallen the living. You need not hesitate to come with me.
He put his arms about her and kissed her with fervor; but even while he spoke with her, and gave her the love she desired, there was something in him that sank back and moaned with despair. So the captive sinks and moans when he finds that his break for freedom has led only to the tightening of his chains.
It seems as if I can't stand it alone. Oh, Johnny, Johnny!" "Where's Palmer?" K. demanded of Christine. "He's not in yet." "Are you afraid to stay in the house alone?" "No; please go." He ran up the staircase to his room and flung on some clothing. In the lower hall, Mrs. Rosenfeld's sobs had become low moans; Christine stood helplessly over her. "I am terribly sorry," she said "terribly sorry!
I said to myself with manly joy, that my child was born at the prolific time of vintage, amidst the perfume of new wine. I was tormented by impatience, I went upstairs again.

Together they stood listening in awestruck silence, expecting every moment to hear sounds of conflict, and cries for help, but all they heard was the cool, even flow of a quiet voice, and after some minutes had passed, the sound of moans, mingled with a terrible sobbing.
Hans and my uncle, clinging to the wall, tried to nibble a few bits of biscuit. Long moans escaped from my swollen lips. After some time my uncle approached me and raised me in his arms. "Poor boy!" said he, in genuine tones of compassion. I was touched with these words, not being accustomed to see the excitable Professor in a softened mood. I grasped his trembling hands in mine.
"Can't you do something?" she gasped, clutching her companion's arm with a spasmodic grip. "I'll go to Miss Williams, or some of the girls for " Katherine began. "No, I can't bear to make a stir oh, heavens! oh! treat me your way anything anything to stop this unbearable torture!" and Sadie buried her face in her pillow to smother the moans she could not repress.
In the wreckage of the control cabin Ruthven pawed at the fastenings of his sling-chair. He no longer tried to suppress the moans every effort tore out of him. Time held the whip, drove him. He rolled from his seat to the floor, lay there gasping, as again he fought doggedly to remain above the waves those frightening, fast-coming waves of dark faintness.
Nothing disturbed the silence save the moans of a few wounded men, who called upon their comrades for succor. But before thinking of the wounded, M. de Sairmeuse must decide upon the course which would be most likely to redound to his advantage and to his political glory.
