"Hallo! nurse," he exclaimed, getting in and sitting down opposite to her; "why, surely it wasn't you, was it, that had such a narrow escape?" "Indeed it was, Capting Lee," replied Mrs Durby in a half whimper, for albeit a woman of strong character, she was not proof against such rough treatment as she had experienced that day. "Not hurt, I trust?" asked the Captain sympathetically.
"Did she ever," interrupted the elder, with slow emphasis, standing over her, and shaking his stubby forefinger at her, "did she ever say the Lord didn't send Tom Davis to hell, to you?" Alfaretta cowered in her chair, and Thaddeus began to whimper for sympathy. "I don't know," she answered desperately, "I don't know anything, except she's good." "Listen to me," said Mr.
I'm a cook, I can assure ye!" The lover seized her two hands. "You're the best old soul in the world!" he cried. Mrs. Berry appeared willing to kiss him. "We won't disturb her. Let her sleep. Keep her in bed, Mrs. Berry. Will you? And we'll call to inquire after her this evening, and come and see her to-morrow. I'm sure you'll be kind to her. There! there!" Mrs. Berry was preparing to whimper.
"Does he?" said Priscilla, immediately conceiving a prejudice against the father. "Why don't she take that black thing off?" said the child. "Hush, hush, small impudence. The Fräulein will take it off in a minute. The Fräulein has only just got in." "Mutti, is she a witch? Mutti, Mutti, is she a witch, Mutti?" The child, his eyes fixed anxiously on Priscilla's swathed head, began to whimper.
He had had chilblains all winter from the snow-water which had soaked in through his broken shoes; his heels were still red with them, but not a whimper had he made. He had treated them doggedly himself with wood-ashes, after an old country prescription, and said nothing, except to reply, "Doctorin' chilblains," when his mother asked him what he was doing. Jerome also often went hungry.
Monica was very, very proud of him, but as the days grew into weeks she began to wish that Mona, as she had called him, and which was a family name, would not whimper quite so much; it made her nervous sometimes, and irritated her, and once she had even gone so far as to give him a smart slap in reprimand.
I haven't anything else to do, except things that take me away from you." "Oh!" said Euphemia. At this moment, little Pat gave his first whimper. Perhaps he felt the searching glance that fell upon him from the lady in the middle of the room. I immediately began to walk up and down the floor with him, and to sing to him.
I thought that I should take her between my arms, and have the little freckles against my face, and taste her short firm-fleshed upper-lip, and moan upon her, and whimper upon her, and mutter upon her, and say 'My wife. And even when I knew that she was gone from the telephone, I still stood there, hoarsely calling after her: 'My wife! My wife!
He was hanging half in and half out of a little window high up in the shed like a skylight, and the big bottle was slowly slipping as he tried to wriggle either in or out. There was no ladder in sight, and neither of us was near tall enough to reach him. He was beginning to whimper and be scared himself, and I could see the heavy bottle start to slip faster from his arm.
"Guardian," he said, "why have you or Mr. Cardlestone given this man these cheques and securities? What hold has he on you?" Old Cardlestone began to whimper afresh; Elphick turned a troubled face on his ward. "He he threatened to accuse us of the murder of Marbury!" he faltered. "We we didn't see that we had a chance."
