She still felt insulted by Katharine's term of "servant," but could not repress a smile, and turned into the pantry to hide that telltale weakness. Looking in through that same pantry window, his mouth agape, his eyes twinkling, was her housemate and natural enemy, Moses. Hitherto he had taken slight notice of the small new member of the household, and Kate had been rather afraid of him.
"I didn't hear anything," said Virgie, breathing very fast; but she too had heard it a sound above them, a scraping sound, as of someone lying flat along the rafters and shifting his position and, while she spoke, a telltale bit of plaster fell, and broke as it struck the floor.
He had passed along the shore within twenty yards of me, through dense underbrush, as I found out from his tracks next morning, yet so silently did he push his great bulk through the trees, halting, listening, trying the ground at every step for telltale twigs ere he put his weight down, that I had heard no sound, though I was listening intently in the dead hush that was on the lake.
In the same general manner a slovenly "two" may be raised to "twenty," "three" may be "thirty," "five" is made "fifty," "seven" becomes "seventy," "eight" becomes "eighty," and "nine" is transformed into "ninety" all without erasures and without leaving telltale marks upon a chemical paper.
Why only a few days ago we received and entertained a friend of yours who brought a letter from you to papa the Count de Cadenet." Again that telltale flush mantled the man's cheek.

Philip knew that she had imprinted a kiss upon the silent lips before the soul had fled, and in the warmth and knowledge of that kiss Pierre had died happy. And Philip, brokenly, said aloud: "God bless you, Pierre, old man!" He lifted the cold hands back, and gently drew the covers which had hidden the telltale stains of death from Jeanne's eyes.
He held a book in his hand, and as Rangely spoke she saw Austen's look turn quickly to her, and met it through the gathering gloom between them. In an instant he was at her side, looking up questioningly into her face, and the telltale blood leaped into hers. What must he think of her for coming again? She could not speak of her errand too quickly. "Mr. Vane, I came to leave a message."
Feeling himself in a kind of impasse regarding Alden, and fearing some telltale expression in his eyes, the Master swung up his binoculars and once more swept the cloud-horizons from northeast to southeast. "We ought to be sighting some of the attackers, before long," judged he. "I'm rather curious to see them to see flies attacking an eagle.
So was everyone else he could find until he came to a room in which a man in a spacesuit was floundering helplessly in the air. He glanced at his telltale. Thirty-two. High in the red, almost against the pin. "Bobby! What do you read?" "Twenty-six." "Good. I've found only one, but we're running out of time. I'm coming in."
