Then came a low whimper and a snarl, and the truth at once rushed upon him. He was surrounded by wolves.
Of all yellow-livered curs deliver me. We have the best Esquimos in the tribe with us, and expect them to remain steadfast and loyal, but after they have had time to realize their position, the precariousness of it begins to magnify and they start in to whimper, and beg to be allowed to go back. They remember the other side of this damnable open water and what it meant to get back in 1906.
It was all instantaneous, the steward's stammering explanation, Ruth Biggerstaff's terrified eyes, the little whimper of fear and sympathy from the other women. Nancy felt that there was more more "What'd Sam tell you, Ruth? For God's sake " "Now, Nancy now, Nancy " said the Mrs.
To add to the rest, a whole string of cattle and sheep bells, brought from various parts of the world, were set ringing, and others were dislodged; and for the moment it appeared that the dog must certainly have been killed.

Curly, with a whimper of delight, plunged into the icy water, and with astonishing speed overtook and seized the wounded duck.

He knows rocks and strata and geological formation; he found gold once, and that was not just accident. He lost, but he lost without a whimper. He is a good sport. He will find gold again because it is here and he knows how to find it and where to find it. He paused, and Helen, though with no great show of interest and no slightest indication of being impressed, waited for him to go on.
I'll be writin' you agin when we hit Morgantown. "Your old Muvver Jim." Douglas laid the letter gently on the table, his hand still resting upon it.

Thus did Gaud, coming in for news in the evening, find her; her hair dishevelled, her arms hanging down, and her head resting against the stone wall, with a falling jaw grinning, and the plaintive whimper of a little child; she scarcely could weep any more; these grandmothers, grown too old, have no tears left in their dried-up eyes.
