There was a broken tumult of billowy clouds, and the moon tossed hopelessly amongst them, a lunar wreck, sometimes on her beam ends, sometimes half submerged, once more gallantly struggling to the surface, and again sunk. The bare boughs of the trees beat together in a dirgelike monotone. Now and again a leaf went sibilantly whistling past.
"Seems sorter sizable," he replied, sibilantly, sucking his pipe-stem. Todd nodded meditatively several times, leaning his elbows on his knees, his eyes fixed on the landscape. "Hev she got enny particular marks, ez ye knows on?" he drawled. "Wa'al, she be ez black ez a crow, with the nigh fore-foot white.
The mystic pines swaying over the narrow road made talk sibilantly to the wind. Stanley, the setter, took it upon himself to discover some menacing presence in the woods. He walked on his toes and with his eyes glinting sideways. He swore half under his breath. "And work, too," burst out Hawker, at last. "I came up here this season to work, and I haven't done a thing that ought not be shot at."
Again she whispered; softly, sibilantly, caressingly: "A kiss, My Fool!" He thrust her from him. "You devil!" he cried. "I love you and I hate you! You are beautiful and you're ugly! You are sweeter than the last of life and more bitter than the sodden shame of a secret sin!"
She and Lester Eli, who, at seventeen, was to drown in a pleasure canoe; Snow Horton clandestinely present daughter of a neighborhood dentist and forbidden to play with the "boarding-house children"; Flora and Roy Kemble, twins; and little Harry Calvert, who would creep up like a dirty little white mouse from the basement kitchen.

"O god of Cathay!" he cried, sibilantly, "in what have I sinned that this catastrophe has been visited upon my head! Learn, my two dear friends, that the sacred white peacock brought to these misty shores for my undying glory, has been lost to me!
There come the soft wash of the sea the silent whisper of the breeze the call of Love!" She rose lithely to her feet. In one hand she held the bending white blossom; in the other the crimson.
