Early in the morning, Hossein came into Charlie's room. "Sahib," he said, "something is the matter with Tim." "What is the matter?" Charlie said, sitting up in his bed. "I do not know, sahib. When I went to him, he did not move. He was wide awake, and his eyes are staring. When I went beside him, he shook his head a little, and said, 'S-s-s-h. He seems quite rigid, and is as pale as death."
One more wriggle brought me close to Dick, with my face near his hands, which were bound behind him. I slipped the blade under the lasso, and cut it through. Dick started as if he had received an electric shock. He threw back his head and uttered a sudden exclamation. Although I was almost paralyzed with fright I put my hand on his shoulder and whispered: "S-s-s-h! It's Ken!"
Sylvester tells me, but you're smart, and you can catch up. Make us proud of you; that's what you can do." His nephew glanced at him. Captain Elisha was smiling kindly, but there was no sign of change of purpose in his look. Stephen ground his teeth. "Oh," he snarled, "if it wasn't for the disgrace! If things weren't as they are, I'd " "S-s-s-h! I know; but they are.
I know your game. And I know the game of the hell's maggots under our feet this minute. 'Tis they that'd desert in the boats. 'Tis you that'll smash the boats an' jail 'm kit an' crew."

There were too many scouting parties of Federals ready to pounce on Rebel patrols in these perilous days to allow any but large forces of men to venture far from Richmond, and when his own men sallied forth they did not go with laughter but with tightly drawn, silent lips. "S-s-s-h," he whispered, and held up his finger again, as she seemed ready to burst into questioning.
As in the outer darkness Mary cautiously returned to the knot-hole, the three guards in front suddenly called in low tones: "S-s-s-h!" "Quit, Pete; here comes the lieutenant." The sentry had apparently been about to resume his declamation, but at these warnings he suddenly posed in a soldierly manner. A tall and lean officer with a smooth face entered the barn. The sentry saluted primly.
They are content to let the morrow go hang." "S-s-s-h, 'ware the master of the sloop," cautioned Joe. "He makes for the gangway, the big lump of tallow." They moved away while Captain Richard Spender clumsily descended into his boat, his broad face flushed, his breath asthmatic.
"S-s-s-h!" came back over the telephone. "Don't say a word! I'll not have it! You can pay the keep for the boy and horse up there. That's all I'll accept. That and a promise that you'll not give me away! It wouldn't do for me to let it be known that you understand, Judge!" And Jimmy left the telephone box in an extraordinary good humor and sauntered back to his coffee.
