The night was very cold. I lay shivering in my blanket and could not get warm. The guns were continually crashing out. Shells were bursting just outside with appalling regularity. Suddenly they seemed to quieten down, as if by some means the Germans had got to know of our great plans and were preparing for the blow.
Mistress Nutter, who stood at a little distance, anxiously observing what was passing, waved her hand several times towards the sufferer, but without effect. "I have no influence over her," she muttered. "She is really bewitched. I must find other means to quieten her." Though both greatly distressed, Alizon and Richard redoubled their attentions to the poor sufferer.
After Granny's death, she seemed to quieten. She went about doing her work, was not particularly lively, but not depressed either. Lars Peter observed that she and her mother quarreled no longer. This was a pleasant step in the right direction! Ditte resigned herself to her lot. It cost her an effort to remain under the same roof as her mother; she would rather have left home.
His calmness, and the steadiness of his voice seemed to quieten her. 'I think you will be able to help your father and George better if you are my wife. I'm afraid your position will be very difficult. Won't you give me the great happiness of helping you? 'We must stand on our own feet. I'm very grateful, but you can do nothing for us.
"Now, just quieten yourself down and tell me all Lyne told you about her, will you, my lad?" Sam Stay stared at him, and then a slow look of cunning passed over his face. "If it was her!" he breathed. "If I could only put her away for it!" Nothing better illustrated the mentality of this man than the fact that the thought of "shopping" the girl had not occurred to him before.
Believe you me, it took the sergeant all he knew to quieten down her mother that was over at the barracks asking for the name of the villain that was taking away her daughter's character. That night the rest of the apples was took, and Simpkins was fit to be put in the asylum in the morning. He said the sergeant was an incompetent jackass. Wasn't them the words he used, doctor?"
'What is the matter? 'Isn't it all right? cried George. Lucy put her hand on his arm to quieten him. It seemed that Alec could not find words. There was a horrible silence, but they all knew what he had to tell them. 'I'm afraid you must prepare yourself for a great unhappiness, he said. 'Where's father? cried Lucy. 'Where's father? Why didn't you bring him with you?
An hour or two elapsed before any news of their fortunes reached us; an hour or two during which the guns thundered almost as vigorously as ever and the rifle-fire came and went in bursts. Then things began to quieten down and tidings sped along the lines that the attack had succeeded: the French had gained some ground on their extreme right, and the 155th had secured their objective.
'I don't understand it all, said Bell, in a hurried and perplexed tone. 'What has Kester been saying, my lass? she added, turning to Sylvia. Sylvia went a step or two nearer to her mother, and took hold of her hand as if to quieten her; then facing once more round, she said deliberately to Kester, 'If thou wasn't Kester, I'd niver forgive thee.
The gas ud throttle him, Miss, afore he felt the fire." "Is there a wife?" "Noa he coom here a widower three weeks sen there's a little gell " "Aye! they be gone for her an t' passon boath," said another voice; "what's passon to do whan he cooms?" "Salve the masters' consciences!" cried a third in fury. "They'll burn us to hell first, and then quieten us with praying."
