She didn't care for scenery very much and I just came in as a sort of handy man to amuse her.
Are you sorry we didn't keep our quarters for ourselves?" asked the other voice, with an under-tone of regret in it. "Yes, I am, till I think how pleased the children will be with our tree, for they don't expect anything, and will be so surprised.

"He is able to walk thither now, but I will not answer for his being able to do so two hours hence. It is a bad case," he added in an under-tone to Leonard.

Here they paused for a moment, and the little dog ran round and round them, barking gleefully.
We marched down to the beach, and I felt relief for the first time when my feet rested on the schooner's deck.

"And so it would," said Dolly, almost with compunction; "them things are easier said nor done; and I'm partly ashamed o' talking."
Lanyere looked with a smile of triumph at the extortioner, and then turning to Sir Jocelyn, who seemed half disposed to make an attack upon his enemy, said in an under-tone, "Harm him not. Leave him to me." After which he quitted the cottage.
Following the common lead, Ralph approached the group where stood his fair friend of the morning; and acknowledged, in an under-tone, to herself, the correctness of her opinion in regard to the merits of the sermon. She did not reply to the observation, but seeing his hand upon the bridle, asked hurriedly "Do you, sir does Mr. Colleton go with this party?"
They met as she spoke, and I observed them both look at me, and converse a moment in an under-tone, the young lady apparently pressing the sportsman to do something which he declined shyly, and with a sort of sheepish sullenness. She instantly turned her horse's head towards me, saying, "Well, well, Thornie, if you won't, I must, that's all.
