The choir were practicing, and suddenly there rose a boy's voice, pure, effortless, and clear.... For years that moment stayed with me. When we came down to fetch Edy, she said: "Ssh! ssh! Miss Edy has seen the angels!" Oh, blissful quiet days! How soon they came to an end! Already the shadow of financial trouble fell across my peace. Yet still I never thought of returning to the stage.
But when the Germans of the South came and solemnly sang the Confession that reminded him of the blushes of a girl in love, Christophe could not contain himself. He shouted with laughter. Indignant cries of "Ssh!" were raised. His neighbors looked at him, scared: their honest, scandalized faces filled him with joy: he laughed louder than ever, he laughed, he laughed until he cried.
How good it is to suffer when a man is strong!... He laughed. His laughter rang out in the silence of the night. His father woke up and cried: "Who is there?" His mother whispered: "Ssh! the boy is dreaming!" All then were silent; round them all was silence.
"Ssh!" he hissed, and grasped my arm. Silent, intently still, we stood and listened. The sound of a guttural voice was clearly distinguishable from somewhere close at hand! Smith extinguished the lamp. A faint luminance proclaimed itself directly ahead. Still grasping my arm, Smith began slowly to advance toward the light.
He waited, motionless, too disturbed at the time to care to enter the store and endure Josie's vapid advances; and through the thin partition there came to him their comments on Betty's ungracious behaviour. "Well!... did you ever!" That was Angle; Josie chimed in the same key: "Oh, what did you expect from that kind of a girl?" "Ssh! maybe he's coming!"
Radish was standing still in a corner all by himself, with his head against the wall, looking at the stage with adoring eyes, waiting for the beginning of the rehearsal. Everything was just the same! I went toward my hostess to greet her, when suddenly everybody began to say "Ssh" and to wave their hands to tell me not to make such a noise. There was a silence.
But since you wear a veil to hide your good looks, why don't you keep it down?" She pulled down the veil, saying hastily, "It was mostly to keep off the wind." "It may seem harsh of me to dictate like this," he went on; "but it is better that I should not look too often on you. It might be dangerous." "Ssh!" said Tess.
"Whee ... whEEE ... whEEE ... UIOUW ... OUWW ... SSH ... SSHSHHH ... BANG ... BANG!!!!!!" "Whee.....wheee.....Hi.....HIOUUIOUW," we heard. "Whee ... whEEE ... whEEE ... UIOUW... OUWW... SSH ... SSHSHHH... BANG... BANG!!!!!!" I tried to persuade the other fellows to come up to the Queen's Hotel along the Scheldt waterfront on the northern side of the city, where I was then encamped.
It has been kind to you?" Blake laughed and drank some of his wine. "Oh, I can't complain! If it isn't quite the same world that it was, the fault's in me. I'm getting old, Lize! Eight-and-thirty come next March!" A palpable chill touched the woman; she shivered, then laughed a little hysterically, and finished her wine. "Ssh! Ssh! Don't say such things!" Blake refilled her glass. "I was jesting.
I can't stick plays ... not this sort anyhow. I don't mind a musical comedy now and again, although I think you can have too much of that...." Lady Cecily turned and waved her hand at her husband. "Ssh, Jimphy!" she whispered. "You're making a frightful row!"
