Then, as he was responsible for the safety of boats and ship, he sent up rockets to recall them. The cutter came alongside first. Lights were poured on her, and quavering voices asked, "Have you got him?" The answer was dead silence, and sorrowful, drooping heads. Sadly and reluctantly was the order given to hoist the boat in. Then the gig came alongside.
"Phips is a great man a great man!" he said, chuckling. "Ah, the treasure!" Jessica did not reply. Her fingers went up to her eyes; they seemed to cool the hot lids. "Ay, ay, it was good," he added, in a quavering voice, "and I gave you your dowry!" Now there was a gentle, soft laugh of delight and pride, and he reached out a hand towards her.
I believe it's your own fault" with a rather quavering laugh. "You've taught us all to expect so much from you and to give so little." Mallory made a quick gesture of dissent. "Oh, yes, you have," she insisted. "You're always giving and we just take! I never thought how hard a thing I was asking when I begged you to come down to Mallow while Nan was with us. It was sheer brutality to suggest it."
And Caesar's aspect justified the worst anticipations. He had thrown himself on the floor by the side of his dead favorite, hiding his face in the lion's noble mane, with strange, quavering wailing.
Did you and Pete talk much this afternoon?" In a few words Mr. Howitt told of his meeting with the strange boy, and their conversation. When he had finished, the big man smoked in silence. It was as if he found it hard to begin. From a tree on the mountain side below, a screech owl sent up his long, quavering call; a bat darted past in the dusk; and away over on Compton Ridge a hound bayed.
Conditions certainly had improved wonderfully, and for the time being Dave forgot his trouble with Aaron Poole. No one could again call him "a poorhouse nobody." From the cottage the boys walked to the barn. As they entered this building they heard earnest talking in the rear. "You are a mean lad, to tease an old man like me!" they heard, in Caspar Potts's quavering tones.
The sky was cloudless, and the tropic sun shone so fiercely on the decks that the bare-footed Jackies had to cross the unshaded spots on the jump to save their feet. An hour before the quavering mess-call sounded for the midday meal, when the sun was shining almost perpendicularly, a boat's crew from one of the cruisers were sent over to the supply-ship for a load of beef.
"He is right; better die of it than break his promise!" The crowd gave way as the broken man they had seen a few days before so jovial and healthful was brought up in a chair to the poll, and said, with his tremulous quavering voice, "I 'm a true Blue, Blue forever!" Elections are wondrous things!
"You needn't think as I'll 'arm you or your blasted dust. "You're a rum 'un, you are," he added reflectively, as he watched the sweat pouring from off Kent's face and the quavering of his knees. "W'y don't you pipe up an' say somethin'?" he went on, as the other struggled for breath. "Wot's gone wrong o' your gaff? Anythink the matter?" "W w where'd you get it?"
I heard the voice below responding to some call from within the house. "I do not regret the chase, I will go another time Courtesy to the stranger, Pelagie, remember!" And a feeble voice came quavering from within the house, "Courtoisie" I stripped, and rubbed myself from head to foot in the huge earthen basin of icy water which stood upon the stone floor at the foot of my bed.
