"But try and get through your work." "No, time's for tailors and shoemakers, not for honest people!" said Anders in an undertone. The bailiff turned upon him as quick as a cat, and Anders' arm darted up above his head bent as if to ward off a blow.
Oh, Alcatraz, why should they have placed a prison there as a monument to men's failure to order their lives in harmony with nature. Alcatraz, most beautiful island in the most beautiful bay, you sound an ugly, sinister, most unhappy undertone in the morning's symphony. Still it is a symphony. A symphony of San Francisco Bay. Why shouldn't the composers put it into music.
"Just keep cool. When you went, what did you take a knife from the counter for?" "A knife!" Hilda gasped, and she would have fallen to the floor had not Otto caught her. "That settles it!" said Casey, in an undertone to O'Rourke. "She's it, all right. I guess she's told us enough?" O'Rourke nodded. "The Cap'n'll get the rest out of her when he puts her through the third degree."
"Curse it!" broke from Caesar's lips in a loud voice, and, after a brief dialogue in an undertone with the prefect, he desired to have papyrus and writing materials brought to him.

As the newcomer had said, it would be time enough later to understand the rest.

But I think if you don't mind, I will leave him to explain." "Odd!" said Graham. "Guardian? Council?" Then turning his back on the new comer, he asked in an undertone, "Why is this man glaring at me? Is he a mesmerist?" "Mesmerist! He is a capillotomist." "Capillotomist!" "Yes one of the chief. His yearly fee is sixdoz lions." It sounded sheer nonsense.
The affair of the letter had wounded his susceptibilities; he must go where he would be better understood. All this in a soft, respectful undertone, his mistress trying to comfort him, and incidentally hasten his response to the requisition from outside. At eleven o'clock Mr. Thorne sent in a pencil message on a card: "I shall not be home to lunch. Does she want to get the 12:30 train?" Mrs.

"It has taken him again in his right toe;" and he leaned forward to open the door of Owen's private sitting-room. She passed in, the door closed softly behind her, and she saw her lover lying in a large, chintz-covered arm-chair, full of cushions, deep like a feather bed.
Endsleigh Jarrott is next but one to you," he said at another time. "She's airing her plans for the reconstruction of New York society." So for a while they kept one another in small talk, affecting the same sort of vivacity that obtained around them. It was not till dinner was half over that he asked in an undertone: "Who is your neighbor?" "I don't know," she managed to whisper back.
