"Oh my God!" surrendered the Senior Surgeon. "Do it your own damned way! Only only " His voice cracked raspingly. "Steady! Steady there!" said the White Linen Nurse. Except for a sudden odd pucker at the end of her nose her expression was still perfectly serene. "Now begin at the beginning," she begged. "Quick! Tell me everything just the way I must do it! Quick quick quick!"
He was glaring across the table as though he saw some ghastly apparition there. And now with appalling suddenness he became as a dead weight in Harley's supporting grasp. Raspingly, as if forced in agony from his lips: "Fire-Tongue," he said... "Nicol Brinn..." Benson, white and terror-stricken, bent over him. "Sir Charles!" he kept muttering. "Sir Charles! What is the matter, sir?"
The stranger laughed raspingly and gazed up the alley, where the hound, having come to a halt, now coolly sat down, and, with an expression of roguish benevolence, patronizingly watched the tempered fury of Duke, whose assaults and barkings were becoming perfunctory. "What'll make Duke sick?" Penrod demanded. "Eatin' dead bulldogs people leave around here."
With an effort the big rancher lifted in his seat, passed his sleeve across his forehead clumsily. "Thank you, Chantry." He cleared his throat raspingly. "As I said, I expected this; that's why I came to see you to-day." For the second time his cigar was dead, but he did not light it again. There was no need of subterfuge now. "I want you to do me a favour."
The missioner was rubbing his brown, knotted hands together raspingly. "Go on," said Kent a little thickly. "He has also sent Inspector Kedsty the same word," finished Father Layonne. "His word to Kedsty is that he can see no fighting chance for you, and that it is useless effort on his part to put up a defense for you. Jimmy!" His hand touched Kent's arm gently. Kent's face was white.
And they sang it again, and Mary and Colin lifted their voices as musically as they could and Dickon's swelled quite loud and beautiful and at the second line Ben Weatherstaff raspingly cleared his throat and at the third line he joined in with such vigor that it seemed almost savage and when the "Amen" came to an end Mary observed that the very same thing had happened to him which had happened when he found out that Colin was not a cripple his chin was twitching and he was staring and winking and his leathery old cheeks were wet.
"I have nothing for you," she called out raspingly. "There is not a thing in the house to eat. Go away! Go away!" "Celia!" Seth cried out, stabbed to the heart. "I am not a beggar for bread, but give me a crust of kindness for the love of God! I am Seth." Seen from afar off by the loving eyes of memory, the cows' horns are longer than they are close by. The kitchen was old and smoky.
Through his doze he could hear men's voices talking in low crushed tones, as if they were afraid of speaking aloud. On the road the truck-drivers kept calling out to each other shrilly, raspingly. The motors stopped running one after another, making almost a silence, during which Chrisfield fell asleep. Something woke him. He was stiff with cold and terrified.
"I’m goin’ to the door," said she raspingly. "The bell’s ringin’." After a minute or two she came back. "Telegram!" she announced, handing the yellow envelope over. Aunt Mary put on her glasses, opened it, and read: Cook has blood poison. Sues for a thousand. Probable amputation. Aunt Mary dropped the paper with a gasp. Lucinda looked at her with interest.
He listened intently, although no sound whatever met his ears. A great overmastering fear laid hold on him. He tried to reason with himself, insisting that there was nothing, and could be nothing, to be afraid of. Still the fear remained. His lips grew stiff and painfully hot, and when he tried to moisten them his tongue was dry and moved across them raspingly.
