Far different was the conduct of the commander of the United States frigate Macedonian whose sentinels did not hail the boats the officers in an under-tone wishing us success; and still more honourable was the subsequent testimony of that talented officer, Captain Basil Hall, who commanded His Britannic Majesty's ship Conway, then in the Pacific.
I mean nothing I say nothing!" "He is certainly bewitched," observed Parson Holden in an under-tone to the attorney. "It was by your advice I entered this house," thundered Nowell, "and may all the ill arising from it alight upon your head!" "My respected client!" implored Potts. "I am no longer your client!" shrieked the infuriated magistrate. "I dismiss you.
Ever so many things rise right up in my mind, not one arter another, but all together like, so that I can't take 'em one by one and reason 'em down, but they jist overpower me by numbers. You understand me, Sam, don't you?" "Poor old critter!" said Mr. Slick to me in an under-tone, "it's no wonder he is sad, is it? I must try to cheer him up, if I can.
Anne said the name, as she often did, with a peculiar under-tone of hesitation and tenderness; then, according to her frequent habit, she put her hand on her favourite's shoulder, and began to play with the brown curls. "Have you been quite well and happy since I saw you?" The question, so simple, so full of kindness, pierced Agatha's soul.
Mount gave a round double rap, chewed his grass-stem, considered, then rapped again, humming to himself in an under-tone: "Is the old fox in? Is the old fox out? Is the old fox gone to Glo-ry?

In this approach the maiden had a more perfect view of the malignities of his savage face; and as he left the table, and again commenced a brief conversation in an under-tone with Munro, no longer doubting the dreadful object which they had in view, she seized the opportunity with as much speed as was consistent with caution and her trembling nerves, to leave the place of espionage, and seek her chamber.
For, hurry as he might upon other occasions, nothing would make the Major cut a corner of his winding "drive" when descending it with a visitor. He enjoyed every yard of its length, because it was his own at every step, and he counted his paces in an under-tone, to be sure of the length, for perhaps the thousandth time.
Sweet is my sleep, but more to be mere stone, So long as ruin and dishonour reign; To hear nought, to feel nought, is my great gain: Then wake me not, speak in an under-tone. When Clement VII. died, the last real representative of Michael Angelo's old patrons perished, and the sculptor was free to quit Florence for ever. During the reign of Duke Cosimo he never set foot in his native city.
Lanyard's tone changed to one of command. "That pen, monsieur!" Blensop's hand faltered to his waistcoat pocket, hesitated, withdrew, and feebly extended the pen. "I think you are the devil," he stammered in an under-tone "the devil himself!" Deftly unscrewing the pen-point, Lanyard inverted the barrel above the desk. The cylinder of paper dropped out.
I felt I was by this time on a very intimate footing with my beautiful apparition, and therefore replied, in a confidential under-tone "Indeed, my dear Miss Vernon, I might have considered it as a sacrifice to be a temporary resident in Osbaldistone Hall, the inmates being such as you describe them; but I am convinced there is one exception that will make amends for all deficiencies."
