He's a fine fellow when he's broke Jim is." "But I owed the men for several months' work. Where did you raise the amount, William?" Dill cleared his throat raspingly. "Me? Oh, I had some uh my wages saved up. I used that." It never occurred to Billy that he had done anything out of the ordinary. "H-m-m!" Dill cleared his throat again and rocked, his eyes on Billy's moody face.
Though the thing wavered considerably, its end was not six feet from Brodie's head, and both hammers were back, while the ancient nervous fingers were playing as with palsy about the triggers. King expected the discharge each second. Brodie whirled and drew back, his face turning grey. "Put it down, you old fool; put it down!" he cried raspingly. "I'll go." The old man cackled in his delight.
Damaris folded her arms, let her head sink on them as she finished speaking, and lay flat thus, her face hidden, while she breathed short and raspingly, struggling to control the after violence of her emotion. The curtain hung straight. The wind took up its desolate chant again. And Sir Charles Verity sat back in the angle of the arm-chair, motionless, and, for the present, speechless.
A second cry vibrates through the darkness ahead of the rafts. "What are you shouting for; we know our business!" Sergei growls raspingly; pressing his expanded chest against the pole. "Ouch! Pull harder, Mitia!" Mitia pushes with his feet against the damp planks that form the raft, and with his thin hands draws toward him the heavy steering pole, coughing hoarsely the while.

"He hasn't had a square meal for years."
That should have been quite enough, but the object of scorn only looked up blankly. The standing girl tittered and exchanged nervous glances with her companions. But Samuel was aroused. "There's a lady standing," he repeated, rather raspingly. The man seemed to comprehend. "I pay my fare," he said quietly.

Another hand gripped her, hurling her back helplessly. "You are some sweet little lady's man, Moore," snarled a new voice raspingly. "Now let me handle this business my own way. Go get that team turned around.
"For God's sake, tell her not to drive me mad," Dauntrey said in a voice which was strange to Mary. It was not like his, though she had heard him speak raspingly when ill luck at the tables had depressed him. It seemed to her that such a voice might come from one shut up in a cell, or from a man enclosed in armour with visor down. It was a voice that frightened her.
