My running commentaries, as I read entirely sotto voce, of course, for one does not care to rouse the wrath of a tiger on the crouch, by flinging pebbles in the jungle may give some idea of the impression it made upon me, and the emotions it excited. Dr. Englehart for the note, which was ready for me, in the hollow of his pudgy palm.
He now and again mopped his red face, usually so bloodless, with his big bandanna handkerchief, while all the zephyrs were fanning the flying tresses of Spring at the window, and the soft, sweet, delicately attuned vernal chorus of the marshes were tentatively running over sotto voce their allotted melodies for the season.
The spaces that have been so quiet of late were full of feathers as they had been in June. Here were robins innumerable, flitting jerkily about and crying "tut, tut" in a subdued and genial way that was positively ladylike. Partridge woodpeckers flocked in, drolly jollying each other and making much talk, sotto voce.
Wade," doubtfully complimented my grateful landlady, as we went out of the room after breakfast. "Lucien," asked Rob sotto voce, joining me on the veranda, "why don't the cats you speak of catch that lot of mice?" Fortunately Beth came up to us, and I didn't have to explain. "Oh!" she said with a shudder. "I'll never go near that awful place!
She listened for him as he came out of the room, and once so far humbled herself as to affect a cough in his bearing. Mr. Gammon paid no attention. Then she raged at him of course, sotto voce.

He approached his lord mysteriously, and said, sotto voce, but impressively, "This is low enough, my lord." Then glided back, and ushered in, with polite disdain, two lovelier women than he had ever opened a door to in the whole course of his perfumed existence.
The campaign had gone on without special friction, though he remembered that he had heard Hastings swearing sotto voce more than once at Devers's cantankerous ways, and he recalled now two or three incidents little things in which Devers claimed to have misunderstood instructions; but this was so glaring, so gross a departure from both the spirit and letter of the orders he had given when face to face with the captain, that for a moment or two he was at a loss what to say.
"What shall we do with her?" inquired the Recorder, sotto voce, of a brother magistrate who appeared to be associated with him on the bench. "Send her to the Refuge," replied the other, in the same tone. "What are they consulting about?" asked Old Hurricane, whose ears were not of the best. "They are talking of sending her to the Refuge," answered a bystander. "Refuge?
"Miss Todd, if this is to be a conversazione, we had better make it so at once. But if it's whist, then I must say I never heard so much talking in my life!" "It's a little of both," said Miss Todd, not sotto voce. "Oh, very well; now I understand," said Miss Ruff; and then she resumed her work and went on with her calculations.
Landino says he was very eloquent, and that "both he and Margarita endured their fate with a firmness worthy of a better cause." "Sotto l'osbergo del sentirsi pura." The expression is deservedly admired; but it is not allowable in English, and it is the only one admitting no equivalent which I have met with in the whole poem.
