While not sharing Creed's belief in the greener's possession of uncanny powers, nevertheless he knew that, whatever happened that night, the greener knew more than he chose to tell, and as his apprehension deepened his rage increased. Hate smoldered in the swinish eyes as, in the seclusion of the office, he glowered and planned and rumbled his throaty threats. "The drive," he muttered.
Two boys were standing in the shelter of a doorway, smoking, and before he reached them he had recognised Heron by his voice. Here comes the noble Dedalus! cried a high throaty voice. Welcome to our trusty friend! This welcome ended in a soft peal of mirthless laughter as Heron salaamed and then began to poke the ground with his cane.
She had not seen Ellen for a long time, and she greeted her with delight. "Bless your heart!" said she, in her sweet, throaty, husky voice. "Go and get her some of them cookies, Fanny, do."
The purpose of each was to bruise, maim, make helpless the other. But for the impotent little cries of Sheba no sound broke the stillness save the crunch of their feet on the hard snow, the thud of heavy fists on flesh, and the throaty snarl of their deep, irregular breathing. Gid Holt, from the window of the cabin, watched the battle with shining eyes.
But of the thousands of varieties of the throaty tone no adequate description can be given. Each observer must learn for himself to hear these fine shades of difference in tone quality. Every experienced music lover has his own mental standard of tonal perfection. The trained ear knows how a perfect musical tone should sound, independent of the precise quality of the tone.
Old-fashioned streets alter wonderfully after the generations of the elect have passed; but when Eastern Europe takes to dumping its furtive hordes into one, the change is marked indeed. In this one peddler's wagons replaced the shining carriages of a former day wagons drawn by large-jointed horses and driven by bearded men who cried their wares in strange, throaty voices.
"Ye'll have yer han's fule before long," he advised aloud, "or it's me that's not good at guessin'." And, lifting the front of his cap, he sympathetically blew the purple bump that served him for a nose till it rang through the crisp air like a throaty bugle.
His face showed pallid in the dim starlight. "She said you loved her." His soft voice was throaty with emotion. "Yes." I said it almost against my will. There seemed a bond springing between this bereaved brother and me. He added, so softly I could barely hear him: "That makes you, I think, almost my friend. And you thought you were my enemy." I held my answer.
For the quavering tones were no longer a rich contralto. They were a throaty baritone. And the accent was Teutonic. "Bruce!" observed Top-Sergeant Mahan next morning, "I've always said a man who kicks a dog is more of a cur than the dog is. But you'll never know how near I came to kicking you yesterday, when I caught you mangling that filthy spy.
Almost, one would have said, a shade of a smile was upon her too perfect features. When the man who had dropped weak and exhausted into a chair could speak, he glared at her in a pitiful rage, and, in his throaty whisper, said with a curse, "You seem to be amused." Still, she did not speak.
