At intervals I hear the evening stillness broken by questions put in a tone which implies always an expectation of a precise answer. "Where is Darika?" "He has gone to the spring for water." The answer is given whiningly, and in a thin voice. "And how is your sister? "Still in pain." "Yes? Well, you can go now."
The wind had gone into its winter quarters, storming down from the top of the Mountain on to the parsonage and raging into the woods. That was why Edward and Hazel never heard the sounds some of the most horrible of the English countryside that rose, as the morning went on, from various parts of the lower woods, whiningly, greedily, ferociously, as the hounds cast about for scent.
I've been badly treated; you'll know yourself what it is some day when you can't carry on a little conversation with a lady without having salt meat and pickle-water thrown at you. Waldo, look at me; do I look as a gentleman should?" But the boy neither looked up nor answered, and Bonaparte grew more uneasy. "You wouldn't go and tell her that I am here, would you?" said Bonaparte, whiningly.
Yet he affected to be in fear of an insurrection, and on the last day of the month whiningly wrote, "The town is at present just as defensible as it was two years ago, not a sergeant's guard of real soldiers within two hundred miles of it."
The woman looked perfectly thunderstruck; but, recovering herself, she said, whiningly "I! a harsh word to anything my dear, kind master cares for. And, Lord, what a sweet pretty creature it is! Come here, my dear!" But Fanny shrunk back, and would not let go Philip's hand. "To-morrow, then," said Morton; and he was turning away, when a sudden thought seemed to cross the old man, "Stay, sir stay!
"An' here's Christmas," the old man went on whiningly, "an' not a penny to spend, an' I needin' another blanket so bad, with my rhumatiz, an' haven't had a drop of tea for I don't know how long!"
All things are provisional, all sights, all sounds, and this forms the peculiar charm of the hour, its haunting and winning charm. If you take the omnibus-top to be trundled whiningly up to one of the farther east-side entrances of the Park, and then dismount and walk back to the Plaza through it, you are even more keenly aware of the suspensive quality of the time.
"What do you want me to do?" he said, not whiningly, for beneath the selfish flesh and shallow outworks there were the elements of a warrior all pulpy now, but they were there. "This," was the reply: "for you to make one more outlaw at Fort Anne by drinking what is in this bottle sit down, quick, by God!" He placed the bottle within reach of the other.
He saw a tiny white puff at last, and marked the aperture whence it issued. The bullet hurtled whiningly overhead. Steadying his gun on the edge of the rock, he took careful aim but the other spoke first. It was a marvellous shot or a chance one. The bullet splintered the edge of the stone protecting Garth's head, and sang off.
A Roman friend of mine, Conte C., speaking of them one day, told me this illustrative anecdote: About a year after, as I was returning to my house, after nightfall, I was solicited by a beggar, who whiningly asked me for charity. There was something in the voice which struck me as familiar, and, turning round to examine the man more closely, I found it was my old servant, Pietro.
