Happily there came a lull, and during it the ropes were got over the ship's bows, and dragged on until the part where the leak existed was reached, when the thrummed sail was hauled under the bottom, and firmly secured.
The singing girls signified their obedience, and forthwith they lightly clapped the castagnettes and gently thrummed the virginals. These were the words which they were heard to sing: At the time of the opening of the heavens and the laying out of the earth chaos prevailed.
But what concerned Sidney and Ella was themselves and their offspring. They talked incessantly about the infinitesimal details of their daily existence, and the alterations which they had made, or meant to make, in the house and garden. And occasionally Sidney thrummed a tune on the banjo to amuse the infant. Horace had expected them to be curious about Germany and his life in Germany.
The men shook hands and started to go upstairs. When they were out of hearing, the clerk called up a number on the telephone. In an upstairs room of a Washington Ministry three men sat in conference. One, a stout, bearded man, was seated behind a flat-top desk on which he constantly thrummed with nervous fingers; the others sat facing him.
"Oh, daughter of the Talking Oak," cried he, "how shall we set to work to get our vessel into the water?" At the first ringing note of the music they felt the vessel stir.

Or did misfortune's bitter storms Around thee blaw, around thee blaw, Thy bield should be my bosom, To share it a', to share it a'." The voice ceased; the banjo thrummed on. Olga's hands were fast gripped upon the marble lattice-work. She stood tense, with white face upraised.

"Now, my dog has got his name," the squire resumed. "I'm not ambitious about him. You are, about yours; and you ought to know him. He spends or he don't spend.
The plate was quickly prepared as he suggested, but though it prevented the water spouting upwards as it had before done, it found an entrance notwithstanding, between the plate and the ship's bottom. Adair now gave orders to have a sail thrummed.
I watched the dance with a faint sense of pleasure it was full of so much harmony and delicacy of rhythm. The lad who thrummed the guitar broke out now and then into song a song in dialect that fitted into the music of the dance as accurately as a rosebud into its calyx.
Suppose, just suppose, that some one should recognize her from the sidewalk! The thought sent a series of pricking shivers up and down her usually tranquil spine. Just as that fear thrummed through her, she saw, a few doors ahead, a man come out of a residence hotel. He sighted the De Peyster carriage, and paused. Mrs. De Peyster's heart stood still, for the man was Judge Harvey.
