The General was listening now to such a song; a mysterious music unknown to all other ears, as the solitary plaint of some mateless bird dying alone in a virgin forest. "Great Heavens! what are you playing there?" he asked in an unsteady voice. "The prelude of a ballad, called, I believe, Fleuve du Tage." "I did not know that there was such music in a piano," he returned.
He was the Hishtanyi Chayan, the principal medicine-man of the tribe. Next to him was the Shkuy Chayan, or great shaman for the hunt, equally tall, slender, and with a thin face and quick, unsteady glance. The third, or Shikama Chayan, was an individual of ordinary looks and coarse features, who was decorated by a single upright feather.

When he smiled his answer, Alaire was only too glad to give up the wheel, for her nerves were indeed unsteady and she was grateful for an opportunity to think out the best course to pursue in this unexpected difficulty. Later, as she listened to Law's inconsequential talk with Dolores and José, and watched the way he handled the car, she marveled at his composure.
'I am really so unused to this game! said Weisspriess, apologetically. He was pale: his unsteady breathing, and a deflection of his dripping sword-wrist, belied his coolness.
Abruptly Dan indicated a bench against the wall where the two men seated would take up less space. "I'm " The stranger's voice was unsteady.
