The darkness had scarcely succeeded the highly coloured sunset before the raucous booming of the fog-horn sounded from the ship's funnel, and the whole vessel was surrounded with a thick mist African breath again which, laden with damp, left everything superficially wet. The mist continued, and the darkness deepened, as we went through the Straits.
At times I could hear their raucous voices as they spoke to one another of what they saw. When I came back from my walk the woman was waiting at the door for me. I began to wish when I saw her that I had never saved her, for here was an end of my privacy. She was very young at the most nineteen, with a pale somewhat refined face, yellow hair, merry blue eyes, and shining teeth.
That wretched consumptive, Rateau, was with them, and made a facetious remark as Kennard, pale and haggard, almost ghostlike, with a white bandage round his head, appeared upon the landing. "Go back to bed, citizen," the odious creature said, with a raucous laugh. "We are taking care of your sweetheart for you."
Everyone yelled and shouted. Girls with flowing hair produced broomsticks, and astride on these, broke from the ranks and danced a mad and obscene saraband, a dance of witches in the weird glow of sizzling torches, to the accompaniment of raucous laughter and of coarse jokes.
They saw that this lean, raucous gutter-girl had within her gifts which would increase until she would be first of all actresses on the French stage. Janin wrote some lines which explain the secret of her greatness: All the talent in the world, especially when continually applied to the same dramatic works, will not satisfy continually the hearer.
A newsboy at the corner was crying his latest horror a woman found stabbed in Hyde Park. But to Dion his raucous and stunted voice sounded like a voice from the sea, a strange and sad cry lifted up between Europe and Asia.
A tall, stooping man came out of the woods into the glade, and walked slowly, firmly supporting himself on a cane. His heavy, raucous breathing was audible. "There is Savely!" exclaimed Yakob. "Here I am," said the man hoarsely. He stopped, and began to cough. A shabby coat hung over him down to his very heels.
His hair was black and streaky; his complexion atrabilious; his voice slightly raucous, like that of a tragedian contending with a cold. The eye was a very fine one that is, the right eye for the other optic was evidently internally damaged, and shone with an opalescent lustre.
Part of her effect is gained by gesture, part by the massing of her body, but the greater part by facial expression. In the anguished appeal she does not make a sound, beyond that made by the orchestra, but the hideous din of a hundred raucous voices seems to ring in our ears.
Ah! poor old man, cripple that he was, ending like some beast of burden that has foundered by the roadside that goal of labour! And it was all so revolting and so monstrous that he tried to put it into words, and his desperate grief ended in a frightful, raucous grunt. "Be quiet, don't do yourself harm!" concluded Madame Toussaint. "Things are like that, and there's no mending them."
