"Three husky doughboys of the American Army put to flight by a horde of rats!" he exclaimed. "All the same, they'd be picking the bones of those same husky doughboys if we hadn't vamoosed," defended Billy. "Gee! it seemed to me that there must have been millions of them." "I know now how that Bishop Hatto, or whoever it was, felt when the rats were after him," put in Bart.
The light was dim, and all I could make out was arms and legs and bodies inextricably confused. Never was there such a tangle of humanity. They were all lying in the straw, and over, and under, and around one another. Eighty-four husky hoboes take up a lot of room when they are stretched out. The men I stepped on were resentful.
Theo could almost hear his heart beat as he waited. Suddenly the door swung open and there was Brown gazing severely at him. "Well what do you want?" questioned the man, brusquely. "I want Don't you know me, Brown? I want to see Mrs. Martin." The boy's voice was thick and husky, and somehow he could not utter the bishop's name to Brown standing there with that cold frown on his face.
Faithful Gray Wolf was full of fight, and she sprang shoulder to shoulder with Kazan, her fangs bared. With an angry snap, Kazan drove her back, and she stood quivering and whining while he advanced. Light-footed, his pointed ears forward, no menace or threat in his attitude, he advanced. It was the deadly advance of the husky trained in battle, skilled in the art of killing.
Wrottesley saw all this quite plainly, and loved him none the less for it. 'How is your cold? said Miss Abingdon, with sympathy in her voice, and the vicar threw back his handsome head and tapped his throat, which he said was a bit husky still, although it was no use giving way to illness.
When the two stood together under the light of the lamp in the deserted parlor of the Silver Brick Hotel, the long silence which, by her quick perceptions, had been recognized as accusing her, upon what evidence she did not yet know, was at length broken by Sam's voice, husky with agitation. "Mrs. And you must answer me: you understand. I'm bound to know the truth about this man."
His eyes were a little foggy, for his brain was adjusting itself but slowly to the novel situation. "Mine." "Oh, yours! I thought as much!" "Well," said Jill, "I'll go back and tell them that you will not do what we ask. We will keep our make-up on in case you change your mind." She turned away. "Come back!" Jill proceeded toward the staircase. As she went, a husky voice spoke in her ear.
"I don't know," she said, looking him in the eyes, "but I should hate it." "I was wondering how to bring myself to scold you." They had reached the lawn and, caught by the light from the drawing-room, they stood under the poplars and watched the shadows moving on walls and ceiling. The piano and the people in the room were out of sight, and Miriam's small, husky voice came with a hint of mystery.
Then swiftly, more by intuition and that strange sense which recalls a previous happening by a touch, or a smell, than by actual memory, he saw that golden morning when he had stopped by the Molines' cabin and watched the great husky balance on his shaky legs.
The voice presently failed, in a sort of husky gasp, and there was a prolonged silence. It was broken by the Professor, who suddenly pulled away the curtains that hid the Father and said to him: "Come out now, and look." The Father came into the light, blinking, glanced towards the cage, and saw Napoleon poised motionless on one foot with his head under his wing. He appeared to be asleep.
