"But, I presume, she's befriended him. And and continues to befriend him since that's the word." He avoided her eyes, looking up the street and whistling tunelessly beneath his breath. "I said continues to befriend him," she repeated. The tuneless whistling went on. She allowed him time to get the full effect of her meaning.
A cheerful darkey went by the house, loudly and tunelessly whistling some broken thoughts upon women, fried food and gin; then a group of high school boys, returning homeward after important initiations, were heard skylarking along the sidewalk, rattling sticks on the fences, squawking hoarsely, and even attempting to sing in the shocking new voices of uncompleted adolescence.

"I'm an idiot! Uncle Alfred's coming. But if he fails me" she kicked the basket and ran after it "I'll do that to him!"
Monteriano was sad without her; the rain was thickening; the scraps of Donizetti floated tunelessly out of the wineshops, and of the great tower opposite he could only see the base, fresh papered with the advertisements of quacks.

There was an unbending, too, when we used to sing together, in my case very tunelessly.
Willie whistled tunelessly through his teeth; Macgregor kept his jaw set and occasionally and inadvertently kicked a loose stone.
