As McTeague's party stepped into the doorway a half-dozen voices cried: "Yes, it's them." "Is that you, Mac?" "Is that you, Miss Sieppe?" "Is your name Trina Sieppe?" Then, shriller than all the rest, Maria Macapa screamed: "Oh, Miss Sieppe, come up here quick. Your lottery ticket has won five thousand dollars!" "What nonsense!" answered Trina. "Ach Gott! What is ut?" cried Mrs.
A distant whistle of a locomotive dispels the idea that all the world is wilderness. The firefly lamps glow along the margin of the rushes. The frogs are now in full chorus, the great bulls beating their tom-toms and the small fry filling in the chinks with shriller cries. How remote the scene and how melancholy the chorus!
This she wanted to hear, if she could. She heard. The Elfkund door also stayed open, while the racket beyond it grew shriller by the moment. Finally a ComWeb chimed. A feminine voice spoke sternly.

Have you ever seen the plains in the morning a June morning, when the spurred lark soars and sings when the plover calls, and the curlew pipes his shriller notes to the rising sun?

Once more all was dark; but Alice and Nub continued to gaze in the direction where they had seen the sail, in the expectation that it would reappear. They waited in vain. They raised their voices together, and shouted, in the hope of being heard by those on board. Nub's voice, however, was weak and hollow; Alice's was almost as loud, and far shriller. "Dey cannot hear us," said Nub at length.
For, from the festive board, or the nuptial bed, from the most sacred altar of the Gods, or from the solemn funeral pyre, I will come instant to thy bidding. ’Lucia needs Paullus,’ shall be words shriller than the war-trumpet’s summons to my conscious soul." "I promise you," she said, "willingly, most willingly. And now kiss me, Paullus. Julia herself would not forbid this last, sad, pious kiss!
"I am the dwarf Nectabanus," said the abortion-seeming male, in a voice corresponding to his figure, and resembling the voice of the night-crow more than any sound which is heard by daylight. "And I am Guenevra, his lady and his love," replied the female, in tones which, being shriller, were yet wilder than those of her companion.
