sh-h-h-h-h-h-h

I have never tasted anything better than the crackers and jam. Nobody said anything for a few minutes: we just ate. Suddenly Mr. Daddles held up his hand, "Sh-h-h-h-h!" We stopped everything and listened. For a minute or two we had quite forgotten that we were midnight burglars, and we were going on as if we were right at home. "Sh-h-h-h-h-h-h!" said Mr. Daddles again, "don't you hear something?"
