The wind, as may well be imagined on that extensive level area, is seldom at rest; there, as in the forest, it is a "bard of many breathings," and the strings it breathes upon give out an endless variety of sorrowful sounds, from the sharp fitful sibilations of the dry wiry grasses on the barren places, to the long mysterious moans that swell and die in the tall polished rushes of the marsh.
On some of these purblind creatures the nuts fell heavy and full, extremely indigestible, and were quickly swallowed; on others they fell light, and contained nothing, because the kernel had already been eaten up above, and these light and kernel-less nuts were accompanied by sibilations or laughter. On others again no nuts at all, empty or full, came down.
"And how have you done it?" "I have censored The Gaudy Girl." Max whistled. The sibilations of that whistle were prophetic of atmospheric disturbance to come. In a week the storm broke.

While it was easy to understand they were of the two sexes, they had no direct affinity to the mumbling sibilations of the English, the vehement monotony of the French, the gagging sonorousness of the Spaniards, the noisy melody of the Italians, the ear-splitting octaves of the Germans, or the undulating, head-over-heels enunciation of the countrymen of my particular acquaintance Captain Noah Poke.
She had in fact given it up for the present and was watching Cornelia's work and watching her face, and talking to her. "What is your name?" she broke off to ask, in the midst of a monologue upon the social customs and characteristics of the Synthesis. Cornelia always frowned, and drew her breath in long sibilations, when she was trying hard to get a thing right.
Even in these early days the freedom and honesty of his research drew on him slight sibilations of those whose religion was shallow and sectarian; in after years they were destined to bring on him open and positive persecution.
