When he returned to the table, she was reading the note once more. "It is really quite thrilling, isn't it?" she said, and there was still a quaver of indignation in her voice. "Are you not mystified?" "Not in the least," said he promptly, and drew a chair up close beside hers. "It's as plain as day. Your father has found you out, that's all. Let's read it again," and they read it together.
In the grand consciousness of right, and in his faithful performance of duty, I believe his face was as serene as the aspect of Mr. Yocomb when he looked at the coming storm. As far as peace is concerned, his heaven began on earth. I envy him." "Mr. Morton, I thank you for these words about my brother," she said very gently, and with a little pathetic quaver in her voice.
"We were going to Throndhjem," rejoins Wilson, "but we ain't now the vessel's course was altered two hours ago. Oh, Sir! we are going to Whirlpool-to WHIRL-RL-POOO-L! Sir!" in a quaver of consternation, and so glides back to bed like a phantom, leaving the Doctor utterly unable to divine the occasion of his visit. The whole of the next day the gale continued.
"If you're putting on the eggs," said Ranger, confidentially, to Arthur, "keep mine on an extra fifteen seconds, please. I like them a little hardish." "Awfully sorry," said Arthur, with a quaver in his voice; "jolly unlucky, but we're out of eggs. Got none in the place." "Oh, never mind," said Ranger, reassuringly. "The herrings will do quite as well.
"A brawl?" "Well, something of that sort," Villon admitted with a quaver. "Perhaps a fellow murdered?" "Oh, no not murdered," said the poet, more and more confused. "It was all fair play murdered by accident. I had no hand in it, God strike me dead!" he added fervently. "One rogue the fewer, I daresay," observed the master of the house.
He looked towards the shore, and swung his boat in that direction, when again the cry was repeated with the faintest quaver of a laugh, apparently on the level of the sea before him. For the first time he looked down, and there on the crest of a wave not a dozen yards ahead, danced the yellow hair and laughing eyes of the girl.
I think only one man was ever known to pull the cord which set in motion a guillotine that took off his own head. But there is much unknown, as well as unwritten, history. "Not without neglecting some work which I ought to do to-day," he said. "I think you care more for your work sometimes than you do for me." There was a little quaver in her voice as she spoke.
"I receive orders on an audioceiver in my home," answered the man, a slight quaver in his voice. "I have never seen my superior." "And you followed the Nationalist movement blindly, doing whatever they told you, without question, is that it?" "Yes." "Yes, sir!" roared Walters. "Yes, sir," corrected the secretary. "Who told you to forge those orders for priority seats on the Venus Lark?"
From far up the hillside comes a sound, at first soft and soothing as the fountains of Lindaraxa, then rolling onward it takes the voluminous quaver of a distant waterfall. Louder and louder, deeper and deeper, nearer and nearer comes an awful crashing and roaring, till its echoes rebound from the crags of the Alleghanies like peals of thunder and boom of cannon.
As we hurried down, leaping lightly on the tips of our toes, the quaver of the tune came after us, so clearly that I even made a guess at the whistler's identity. When we had run down the staircase about half-way down to sea-level we found ourselves in a cave as big as the church at Dartmouth.
