I remember when y'u were a boy y'u liked to torment wild animals y'u had trapped." "I play with larger game now and find it more interesting." "Just so. Miss Messiter, I shall have to borrow a pony from y'u, unless " He broke off and turned indifferently to the bandit. "Yes, I brought a hawss along with me for y'u," replied the other to the unvoiced question.
All things had been done for her comfort; yet none of them weighed for a moment in the balance with her one, great, unvoiced desire: the desire to see and talk to her boy before she yielded herself to that mysterious unconsciousness from which she had not the smallest hope of emerging. But she was now wholly under Michael's sway.
The danger in the places where men toil is not that God is denied with a vociferous atheism; it is that He is ignored by an unvoiced indifference. It is not the babel of the market-place that men need to fear; it is its silence.
Florian remembered presently to smile back at her. Then he went out of the castle into a starless night that was as quiet as an unvoiced menace.

Forethought and preparation for the Future which shall be; farewell, because of the Future which may never be for us; "Man, thou hast goods laid up for many years, and it is well; but, remember, this night THY soul may be required"; is the unvoiced lesson of autumn.
She did not, as a matter of fact, try to understand anything of what was happening to her. She was by no means sure that she liked it, but was stiffened into a stubborn resistance to any doubts by the unvoiced objection to it all at home. But for the most part she did little thinking, shaking as loudly as possible the reverberating rattle of physical excitement.
The Kentuckian met those dark eyes squarely, his first unvoiced protest stiffening into defiance. But he faced the older man steadily. Anse, watching them both, drew a small, fast breath. Good thing for Drew there were no other witnesses now; the likeness between the two Rennies was unmistakable at this moment. Hunt Rennie did not follow up his half accusation.
