"Always!" trilled Susan, and at last she had a chance to add, "Wait until I tell you what fun I've been having!" She told him when they were on the car, and he was properly interested, but Susan felt that the tea episode somehow fell flat; had no significance for William. "Crime he didn't take you to the University Club," said Billy, "they say it's a keen club."
Harleston, for your reward!" she laughed. She had not missed the handkerchief, or else she thought it of no consequence. "Assuming, for the moment, that I have the articles in question, how are they to be gotten to you?" "By the messenger, I shall send." "Will you send yourself?" "What is that to you, sir?" she trilled.
And trilled into his ear by a vivid and amazing young thing with a soft hand upon his arm and a faint intoxicating perfume all about her! Why was she telling these things to him? What did she mean? What? They came to the house where she lived. It was late at night, and the street was deserted. It was up to Jimmie to say good night, but somehow he did not know how to say it.
"How do you know but what I may adopt cave-man tactics after we are married, and attempt to beat you into submission?" Myra tossed her red-gold head much in the same way as her spirited mount had tossed his, and trilled out a laugh. "I think, Tony, you'd be even less successful than Tiger, and more sorry for yourself than he is after your very first attempt," she responded.
His narrative was so vivacious that she trilled with laughter at it, and broke in upon it with a rapid paraphrase in French here and there, so that she and the Countess and the historian were all laughing heartily together when Mr. Janes came in with a sombre countenance, and made so funereal an effort to join in the mirth that Paul was fiercely tickled.
Here the birds trilled, the bees hummed in the bluebells, the brook roared and sang on its way to the sea; while over all the harmony of the world brooded a silence too great to be disturbed. Sunlight and shadow, snow and ice, gloomy ravines and dazzling mountain tops, mayflowers and singing birds and rustling winds filled all the earth with color and movement and melody.
He put his hand hastily to his neck, and felt the ribbon that his stooping posture and violent exercise had forced into a prominence that defied further concealment; then turned away laughing, and, with his face now vying with the Sunset, said, "You have caught an ostrich hiding with its head in the sand." Her merry laugh trilled like the song of a bird, as she exclaimed.
And the larks trilled unceasingly, the corncrakes called to one another, and the landrail cried as though someone were really scraping at an old iron rail. At midday Olga and Sasha reached a big village. There in the broad street they met the little old man who was General Zhukov's cook. He was hot, and his red, perspiring bald head shone in the sunshine.
How often, on still, sultry nights in July, when scarcely a breath of air is stirring among the foliage of the trees, when the humming of the Moth might be plainly heard, as it glided by my open window, have I been charmed with the voice of this little bird, uttered in a low, trilled note, from the branch of some neighboring tree!
And Susy's tongue trilled an accompaniment to his thanks. "Lord! it seems so nice to be here just you and me, Clarence like in the old days with nobody naggin' and swoopin' round after you. Don't be greedy, Clarence, but give me a cake." She took one and finished the dregs of his glass.
