"Well, I'll have a try at it, anyhow." He tossed away his handful of leaves. "Silly! I did it because I wanted to talk with you." "Well, those horses wouldn't overhear." "Don't be angry, Kirk. I haven't seen you alone since that night." "Taboga?" he said, guiltily. "You're not going to lecture me again? I'm sorry enough as it is." Never in all his life had he felt more uncomfortable.
I could not help but overhear and follow the conversation of the people who sat next to me. They were wondering what moved Shakespeare to depict the story of a black man married to a white woman. Could such a theme be dramatized now? How could a woman, fair and high-bred, become the wife of a sooty creature like Othello? Was it real? If not real, what was Shakespeare trying to do?
It was well that Miss Verbena Martin could not overhear their talk, which was unchivalrous and unfriendly in the extreme. The general opinion seemed to be that old maid improvers would better stay at home where they might possibly be welcome, and that when the Happy Family wanted improving they would let her know. Cal Emmett said that he wouldn't mind, if they had only sent a young, pretty one.
With him, bareheaded, there came a couple of men of a somewhat lower station in life, and all three were engaged in an animated discussion. The fact that the party halted awhile by the entrance steps made it possible to overhear a portion of their conversation from within. "This is what you peasants had better do," the barin was saying. "Purchase your release from your present master.

With saddened hearts they returned to the palace, and entering a small room where no one could observe them or overhear them, the boy took the White Pearl from its silken bag and held it to his ear, asking: "What shall I do now?" "Tell no one of your loss," answered the Voice of the Pearl.
Raphael gave way before their custom, thinking that he could slip into a passage adjoining, whence he could easily overhear the medical conference in which the three professors were about to engage. "Permit me, gentlemen," said Brisset, as they entered, "to give you my own opinion at once. I neither wish to force it upon you nor to have it discussed.
"Oh, I'm not asking it, you know, old fellow," Lieutenant Abercrombie assured him. "Is Mr. Benson here?" called a bell-boy, from the doorway. "Very much so," replied Lieutenant Ulwin, dryly. "May I give you a message, sir?" asked the bell-boy, coming closer. After excusing himself, Benson stepped aside with the boy. Yet the latter spoke loudly enough for several to overhear.

Take me the nearest track to the quarry you spoke of as quick as you can cut, and don't make noise enough to wake a cat or I'll hand you over to him when we get there. Dick did as he was bid; and they were in time to overlook Rogers as he searched amongst the stones, and to overhear some of the language that announced his failure.
"What have you got there?" asked Turner, pointing with his stick at the carpet-bag. "A kitten?" "No no," replied Marvin, looking this way and that, to make sure that none could overhear. "A Nanteuil engraved from his own drawing, Jack a real Nanteuil. I have just been to a man I know the print-shop opposite the statue on the Quai Voltaire to have my own opinion verified.
