"Perhaps you will, some day, who knows?" said Donald thoughtlessly. "An' what would this hyar old pine do without the rosebush blossomin' close beside him? What would the leetle wild mountain flowers hyarabouts do without thar Smiles ter take keer o' them?" asked the old man tenderly, but with a hidden undercurrent of distress.

They are either seen and not heard, or not seen and heard a great deal too much. Even Jane and Meg, who ought to know better, keep up a perpetual undercurrent of chatter and giggle, whatever is going on, with any one who will share it with them. I am more and more puzzled about the new reading of the Fifth Commandment. None seem to understand it as we used to do.
Now, I have some instructions to give you this morning. Presently I shall be leaving, and there will be something besides crowns." "You are thinking of leaving?" "Yes. When I go I shall not come back. Under my pillow there is an envelope. You will find it and keep it." Gretchen, young and healthy, touched not this melancholy undercurrent.

But woe to the unfortunate Rosetta if she overstepped the bounds of respect! Woe to Ned or Jackson or Tato, if they came an inch over the threshold from the hall beyond!
Despite his candid, almost generous, disclaimer of motive, there was an undercurrent of hostility in his words that suggested a feeling of pique. She climbed the rocky path in silence until Bower spoke again. "How do the boots go?" he asked. "Splendidly, thanks. It was exceedingly kind of you to take such trouble about them.
She was one supposes just ready for that sensation. For the last two years she had been at one of those high-class finishing establishments where, in spite of the healthy curriculum, perhaps because of it, there is ever an undercurrent of interest in the opposing sex; and not even the gravest efforts to eliminate instinct are quite successful.
It was not many years since an infuriated crowd stormed through the streets of Chengtu seeking the lives of the foreigners, and in even fewer weeks after my visit other crowds would besiege the viceroy's yamen demanding justice for their wrongs. For even when I was there the undercurrent of discontent in the province was visible.
