"Professor Challenger," said he, in a solemn voice, which quavered with emotion, "I owe you an apology. Sir, I am very much in the wrong, and I beg that you will forget what is past." It was handsomely said, and the two men for the first time shook hands. So much we have gained by this clear vision of our first pterodactyl. It was worth a stolen supper to bring two such men together.
"Death to the man who offers stamped paper to sell!" they shouted. "Beat an alarm!" quavered Hutchinson to the militia colonel. "My drummers are in the mob," was the reply; and when Hutchinson attempted to disperse the crowd, they forced him to run the gantlet, in the Indian fashion which was too familiar to New Englanders, and caught him several raps as he ran.
"But what are we to do, Bobby?" she quavered, suddenly frightened, as the enormousness of the man's task loomed before her. "Quien sabe" he said ruefully. "We'll marry first and think of it afterward that is, if you still think you want to marry a chap whose cash assets represent less than thirty dollars of borrowed money."
Rodney looked blankly at her daughter, who had thrown herself in a chair. She gasped and then gave vent to a tremulous squeak. "In love! Your father? With whom who is she?" "Father? Oh, Lord, mother, I didn't say anything about father. Don't cry! It's another man altogether." "Not Freddie Ulstervelt?" quavered Mrs. Rodney, pulling herself together. "After all he has said to you "
"If our five boats do as well as you and I have done, we'll have a pretty full crew," Wolf Larsen said to me. "The man you shot he is I hope?" Maud Brewster quavered. "In the shoulder," he answered. "Nothing serious, Mr. Van Weyden will pull him around as good as ever in three or four weeks."
And as she felt herself losing courage before something which she could not understand, Keyork's eyes grew brighter and brighter till they glowed like drops of molten metal. A sound as of many voices wailing in agony rose and trembled and quavered in the air. With a wild cry, Unorna pressed her hands to her ears and fled towards the entrance.
I shrugged my shoulders, remarking with one eye that while the Professor had been talking the Godowskas had trailed across the lawn towards us. They confronted the Herr Professor as he stood up. "Good-evening," quavered Frau Godowska. "Wonderful weather! It has given me quite a touch of hay fever!" Fraulein Godowska said nothing.
"Did you leave Teunis and Marytje Harmentse well?" quavered Antonia, catching at any scrap. Van Corlaer stared, and answered that Teunis and Marytje were well, and would be grateful to her for inquiring. "For they also helped to hide this priest from the Mohawks," added Antonia without coherence. Marie could hear her heart laboring.
The cheerful content of his boyish face when he himself sat down near the table was delightful. "Now," he said, "we can ring up for the first act." She filled the tea-pot and held it for a moment, and then set it down as though her feelings were too much for her. "I feel as if I were in a dream," she quavered happily. "I do indeed." "But it's a nice one, ain't it? " he answered.
"A lot of beefy, red-faced angels buying us up and taking us off to their own places without a word to us of where we're to go to, and commenting most unfeelingly on all our failings...." "You funny person," he murmured, "you're tired. Probably hungry. Where's that cottage you talked about where they'll give us tea?" "Over yonder," she quavered, "but I'm not wanting any tea."
