"Best man in my gang," Dave said, following him with his eyes. "There to a finish and never a whimper out of him. Dragged a man out of the fire when he might have been hustling for his own skin." "Shorty's game," admitted Hart. "Pity he went bad." "Yes. He told me he didn't kill Harrigan." "Reckon Dug did that. More like him." Half an hour later the relief came.
If I hear another sound I'll break every bone in your body! The baby will infallibly whimper, and the dog will infallibly mouch off. True, a dog is not a human being, neither is a baby. They cannot understand. It is precisely because they cannot understand and articulate words that the experiment is valuable; for it separates the effect of the tone from the effect of the word spoken.
The child clung at her coats, a ruddy brat, with astonishment stilling its whimper. For a little the girl half misdoubted us, for the wood behind us and the still sombre west left us in a shadow, and there was a tremor in her voice as she challenged in English "Is that you, Elrigmore?"
Having uttered this complimentary remark, the urchin was about to retreat, when Henry made a sudden dart at him, and caught him by the collar. "Where got you the news, Will Corrie?" said Henry giving the boy a squeeze with his strong hand. "Oh, please, be merciful, Henry, and I'll tell you all about it. But, pray, don't give me over to that grampus," cried the lad, pretending to whimper.
But he was still only a part-grown puppy, and stronger than the call either of man or of the Wild was the call of his mother. All the hours of his short life he had depended upon her. The time was yet to come for independence. So he arose and trotted forlornly back to camp, pausing once, and twice, to sit down and whimper and to listen to the call that still sounded in the depths of the forest.
"You must feel thankful that you're landed at all," remarked Percival. "You might have been food for the fishes by this time." "I'd most as soon," said Fenwick, in a stolid tone, which had a depressing effect on the spirits of some of the party. The lad Barry began to whimper a little, and Pollard looked very downcast. "Cheer up, lads," said Percival, quickly.
Spargo, watching the two old men, saw them both quiver at the sound of Myerst's voice; Cardlestone indeed, began to whimper softly. "Look here, Breton," he said, whispering, "this scoundrel's got some hold on these two old chaps they're frightened to death of him. Leave them alone: it would be best for them if they could get some rest. Hold your tongue, you!" he added aloud, turning to Myerst.
I reassured her. "I am at once too strong and not strong enough for solitude and silence. Surely there is room and work for one who would serve God through serving his fellow men, in the open, is there not?" At that she kissed me. Not a whimper, although I am an only son and the name dies with me, the old name of which she was so beautifully proud!
Moreover, the marriage of these two renewed her belief in true marriages, and their intention to unite was evidence of love. 'My journey to England was worth all troubles for the meeting Madge, she said. 'I can look with pleasure to that day of my meeting her first the day, it was then! She stopped. Madge felt the quivering upward of a whimper to a sob in her breast. She slipped away.
When we got right to the top of this confounded gully, nearly dead-beat all of us, and only for the dog heeling them up every now and then, and making his teeth nearly meet in them, without a whimper, I believe the cattle would have charged back and beat us.
