She had a glimpse of a figure at Gerrit Ammidon's side in extravagantly brilliant satins; there was a sibilant whisper of rich materials in the hall, and the master entered the library with a pale set face. "Father," he said, "Rhoda and William, allow me my wife, Taou Yuen." Rhoda Ammidon gave an uncontrollable gasp as the Chinese woman sank in a fluttering prostration of color at Jeremy's feet.
"Prisoners and pensioners should eat in the kitchen," Frances returned, trying to make a better appearance of friendliness for Nola than she carried in her heart. Maggie was full of apologies for the poor service and humble surroundings. "It is the doings of miss," she whispered, in her native sibilant Mexican, when Nola found an excuse to leave Frances alone at her meal.
"Sahib!" he whispered hoarsely. "Sahib!" "What is it?" demanded Brown, scarcely waiting for an answer, though. Something told him what it was that moved, and his own skin felt goose-fleshy from neck to heel. "The fakir, sahib!" There was a murmur through the ranks, a sibilant indrawing of the breath. "Did I hear anybody swear?" asked Brown. Nobody answered him.
Through the bazaars of Asia ran the sibilant whisper: 'The East will see the West to bed." At last comes the inevitable conclusion pleading for a better understanding between England and Germany and for everything else that would make for racial solidarity. The pitiful thing about this book is that it is so thoroughly representative of the thing for which it pleads.
Tributes of admiration and envy poured in upon him, anonymous missives, tender and daring, odorous with the atmosphere of luxurious boudoirs, and coarse scrawls, scented with orange-peel and lamp-smoke, and seeming to hiss with the sibilant whisper of green-room spite; and the young actor, valuing alike the sentiments, kindly or malign, which ministered to his egoism, intoxicated with the first foamy draught of fame, grew careless, freakish, and arrogant, as all suddenly adopted pets of the public are likely to do.
"He's worthy of her, and she's worthy of him," was her mental summing up, "and it strikes me that 'never' is a pretty long time. Whether she can shut love out of her life forever, just for the sake of her work, is a problem that nobody but Grace Harlowe can solve." "Sh-h-h! No giggles. If you don't creep along as still as mice she'll hear you," warned a sibilant whisper.
Even to one unaware of the inside facts, it would have been evident that Kingham Manor was throwing its weight about a bit tonight. Lights shone in the windows, music was in the air, and as I drew nearer my ear detected the sibilant shuffling of the feet of butlers, footmen, chauffeurs, parlourmaids, housemaids, tweenies and, I have no doubt, cooks, who were busily treading the measure.
For, with only the trees of the wood to listen, with that sibilant whisper of the green tide overhead, with strong emotion compelling them in the one case towards death of self, in the other towards giving of self in the one towards austere passivity, in the other towards activity taxing all capital of pride, of delicacy, and of tact developments became imminent, and those of the most vital sort.
He cultivated a little mustache to enhance that manner, yet the two sixteen-year-old girls who pasted clippings into scrap books spitted their curls for him, and, since his advent, even Ida Blair had discarded her eye shade. In moments of high pressure he stuttered slightly, grinding and whirring over a sibilant like a stalled tire.
He had evidently made friends with them, and they rested their white breasts close on the margin, seeking to claim his notice with a low hissing salutation, which, it is to be hoped, they changed for something less sibilant in that famous song with which they depart this life.
