Hepsibah Deacon, a widow living in a little house in the woods on the top of the hill on the Denboro side of Eastboro Back Harbor, with no neighbors for a mile in either direction, was awakened by shouts under her bedroom window. Opening that window she thrust forth her head. "Who is it?" she demanded quaveringly. "What's the matter? Is anything afire?"
As we rolled over the ancient drawbridge which gives admittance to sleepy Bruges, a bespectacled sentry, who looked as though he had suddenly been called from an accountant's desk to perform the duties of a soldier, held up his hand, palm outward, which is the signal to stop the world over. "Halt!" he commanded quaveringly. "Advance slowly and give the word."
Odin, Paul's wolf-hound, tugged at his chain in the garden and whined quaveringly. He had heard Paul arrive and was disappointed because his master had forgotten to pay him a visit. He was angry, too, because he also had heard the deep voice of Jules Thessaly; and Odin did not like Jules Thessaly. A quantity of personal correspondence had accumulated, and Paul proceeded to inspect it.
And for having robbed and intended to murder him, I arrest you, Nicolas de la Marque, Count de St. Alyre." In another moment the old villain was a prisoner. I heard his discordant voice break quaveringly into sudden vehemence and volubility; now croaking now shrieking as he oscillated between protests, threats, and impious appeals to the God who will "judge the secrets of men!"
I was selling myself, selling myself with my eyes open, too, and you've got a perfect right never to speak to me again ..." She did not finish the sentence but broke off. Her voice died away quaveringly. Robin took her hand in his. "Dear," he said, "don't cry! It's over and done with now ..." Mary shook herself with an angry gesture.
The lawyer no longer wrote at railroad speed; he pushed back his chair, brought the will to the bed, and placed the pen in the trembling yellow hand of the invalid. "You must sign your name here," he said, pointing with his finger; and the Major raised himself a little, and brought the pen quaveringly down towards the paper.
"Here's the water, Rifle-Eye," he said a little quaveringly; "I hardly spilled a drop." The old woodsman took the vessel without a word. Then he looked down at the cat. "Just as well for you," he said, "that it wasn't a true lynx. But how did she get at your leg? Did you walk on her, or kick her, just for fun?"
I'm dying of thirst.... Only a drop.... I won't swallow it this time.... There's five pounds in my pocket." He would gurgle and groan pitifully for a moment. Then in a voice, astoundingly loud, but thick with blood, he would shout, quaveringly: "Orderly, blast you, you , give me some water, or I'll " Sad to say, there came a time when the Subaltern could bear it no longer.
"What an unnecessary question," he retorted. "I was going to shoot myself, of course." "Exactly. That is why I am taking it away from you." "You are very clever," he said, with an attempt at sarcasm. "I can go out and buy another. No, I can't" he laughed rather quaveringly "I haven't the coin. Put that revolver down, young lady, and leave me alone."
"Answer in character, you blighter! Say somethin' opposite." "What boat's thatt?" The hail was repeated. "What do yee say-ay?" Pyecroft bellowed, and, under his breath to me: "Give us a hand." "It's called the Marietta F. J. Stokes Torquay," I began, quaveringly. "At least, that's the name on the name-board. I've been dining on a yacht." "I see."
