He knew that absolutely, beyond question of doubt. He had listened for just that all the nerve-racking way up the stairs. But where were they? There was no sound not a sound just blackness, dark, impenetrable, utter, that began to palpitate now. It came in a whisper, wavering, sibilant from his left.
The soft sibilant sound of whispering which came to his ears just as he was about to approach the door roused Jack from his reflections. His suspicions were on the alert because of the happenings of recent days, and he halted. Certain, after standing a moment with every nerve tensed, that he had not been seen, Jack backed cautiously until again around the corner of the building.
But out of the muck-heap I picked five pearls four sibilant nouns and a name that I knew before. The name, also sibilant and thus easier to hear, was 'Esens'. Two or three times I had to stand back and ease my cramped neck, and on each occasion I looked at my watch, for I was listening against time, just as we had rowed against time.
Two comrades who had been to the movies at the Gaumont Palace near the Place Clichy began to talk in sibilant whispers of the evening's entertainment, and one of them said, "That war film was a corker; did you spot the big cuss throwing the grenades?" "Yuh, damn good," answered the other pulling his shirt over his head.
Go ahead, Davy, an' open the trap!" Davy swore a mighty but sibilant oath and urged his thick, ugly figure ahead of the others. A moment later the desperadoes and their victim passed through a door and into a darkness even blacker than that outside. Davy was pounding carefully upon the floor of the room in which they stood.
The dash with which the partners rush forward, the clinking and clattering of spurs as heel clashes with heel in mid air, punctuating the staccato of the music, the loud thud of boots striking the ground, followed by their sibilant slide along the polished floor, then the swift springs and sudden bounds, the whirling gyrations and dizzy evolutions, the graceful genuflections and quick embraces, and all the other intricate and maddening movements to the accompaniment of one of Glinka's or Tschaikowsky's masterpieces, awaken and mobilize all the antique heroism, mediaeval chivalry and wild romance that lie dormant in the depths of men's being.
Now, scarcely waiting to regain her breath, Fanny turned to Nanny with the usual explanations, only stopping to exclaim over Barney "Land sakes, Barney, what are you doing here!" A breath and then in sibilant whispers: "Well I thought I'd never get here.
As if the words were a signal, the crowd about them surged up suddenly, with the harsh scrape of many chair-legs and an odd, sibilant sound, caused by a multitude of quick-drawn breaths. Like a flash Buck pulled his gun and leveled it on the nearest greaser. "Get out of the way," he ordered, taking a step toward the outer door.
Harry was smoking and he indrew an inhalation from his pipe with a long sibilant sound: her answer was very well understood by him. No, she never had anticipated this. Yet might not she have seen? Astounding how in life one's suddenly engulfed in depths and never has perceived the shoals from which they led; suddenly entombed in night and never has perceived the gradual declination of the day!
"I might as well cap it with a plunge," he told himself, and, lifting his hands above his head, launched outward in a graceful arc. Yamuro came back a moment later and looked about the empty gymnasium. His face suddenly went pale. "Mr. Burton please!" he screamed, and in his excitement his voice was more than ordinarily sibilant. Then he turned on the pool light and rushed frantically back.
