As a matter of fact, although few things are spoken of with more fearful whisperings than this prospect of death, few have less influence on conduct under healthy circumstances.... If we clung as devotedly as some philosophers pretend we do to the abstract idea of life, or were half as frightened as they make out we are, for the subversive accident that ends it all, the trumpets might sound by the hour and no one would follow them into battle the blue-peter might fly at the truck, but who would climb into a sea-going ship?
Then the whisperings that arose between those two would have pierced through denser substances by far than the little red door which separated me from the scene. "How'd I know, ma, but what you'd gone out and broke yer leg, or somethin'? Come, ma " with exasperated persuasiveness "what do ye want to pester me this way for?"
"There'll be music in the air," muttered Merriwell as he again lay back in his chair, elevating his feet to the top of the table. "But the surprisers are liable to be surprised." He heard the front door creak. Often he wondered why Mrs. Harrington did not grease the hinges. Frank had good ears, and it was not long before he was sure he could hear rustlings and whisperings in the hall.
I heard muttered sentences; half-uttered screams that seemed smothered violently; and the swish of invisible garments, the rush of invisible wings. Then I became conscious that my chamber was invaded that I was not alone. I heard sighs and breathings about my bed, and mysterious whisperings.
He had purposely set his face away, but he could hear the furtive whisperings of the stirred calico. He was full of the consciousness of her, and this sound, which carried a picture of her drooped head and moving hands, came with a stealing unquiet, urgently intrusive and persistent.
"I do not ask your pity; you must and do abhor me: but pardon me, Mathilda, and let not your thoughts follow me in my banishment with unrelenting anger. I must never more behold you; never more hear your voice; but the soft whisperings of your forgiveness will reach me and cool the burning of my disordered brain and heart; I am sure I should feel it even in my grave.
Darkness and formless vacancy for a beginning, or something beyond all beginning then next a dim lotos of human consciousness, finding itself afloat upon the bosom of waters without a shore then a few sunny smiles and many tears a little love and infinite strife whisperings from paradise and fierce mockeries from the anarchy of chaos dust and ashes and once more darkness circling round, as if from the beginning, and in this way rounding or making an island of our fantastic existence, that is human life; that the inevitable amount of man's laughter and his tears of what he suffers and he does of his motions this way and that way to the right or to the left backwards or forwards of all his seeming realities and all his absolute negations his shadowy pomps and his pompous shadows of whatsoever he thinks, finds, makes or mars, creates or animates, loves, hates, or in dread hope anticipates; so it is, so it has been, so it will be, for ever and ever.
Some strange hallucination led the Washington authorities to believe that friendly relations might be sustained with a band of savages who were carried away by a religious frenzy, and who were daily giving ear to British whisperings.
Now it so chanced they had drawn very near this talkative stream, whose voice reached them now in hoarse whisperings, now in throaty chucklings, and whose ripples were bright with the reflected glory of the moon.
He treated me most civilly, despite some whisperings which went on behind my back, and shortly after sent me a courteous invitation to serve on his staff.
