She has the making of a good woman a girl can see that; only she can't bear loneliness, and doesn't understand yet what it is to be loved by a true gentleman. Persons of that class can't learn it all at once. I was pained to see her in tears. Her figure was straight, and she spoke without a quaver of her voice. 'Heriot's an excellent fellow, I remarked. 'He is.
And tonight the trombone player plays what he will play a thousand nights from tonight umpah ump. The bassoon and the bull fiddle they umpah ump along. Underneath the quaver and whine of the jazz they beat the time, they make the tuneless rhythm. The feet dancing on the crowded cabaret floor listen cautiously for the trombone, the bassoon and the bull fiddle.
"'S that so!" commented Hardy, and then he went on with his cooking. For a minute Creede stood watching him, his eyes keen to detect the slightest quaver, but the little man seemed suddenly to have forgotten him; he moved about absently, mechanically, dropping nothing, burning nothing, yet far away, as in a dream.
"Shall we meet, shall we meet, Shall we meet beyond the River?" The strain was repeated with a most pathetic quaver in the rendering, and then big Captain Sartell broke down, with a helpless gulp in his voice, and I, who believed myself of too superior and refined a nature to be moved by such tawdry sentiment, was further dismayed to feel the tears gathering fast in my own eyes.
While the mob of Constables kept cowering in the bar-room down-stairs, crying out to us to surrender in the King's name, I believe that one poor creature, the Justice of Peace, after getting himself well walled up in a corner with chairs and tables, began to quaver out the King's Proclamation against the Blacks, the plaguy Soldiers came blundering up both pair of stairs, and fell upon us Billy Boys tooth and nail.
Can you find out from her maid whether she is awake?" It was superbly done. There was not a quaver in Lady Splay's voice, not a sign of agitation in her manner. "I'll inquire, my lady," replied Harper, and he left the room upon his errand. "One thing is certain," Mr. Albany Todd broke in. "I was watching Harper over your shoulder, Lady Splay. He hasn't seen the paragraph.
There, snuff and cigars, and German pipes and flutes, and violins and violoncellos, divide the supremacy between them. It is the region of song and smoke. Street bands are on their mettle in Golden Square; and itinerant glee-singers quaver involuntarily as they raise their voices within its boundaries.
In the third bar there is a quaver, a crotchet, and a rest after the crotchet, that is, after the word poles, and two quavers begin the next line. The fourth bar consists of quavers and crotchets alternately. In the last bar there is a quaver, and a rest after it, viz. after the word kindles; and then two quavers and a crotchet.
Assingham presently declared. "I don't say it isn't. Taken, in fact, all round, I think it is. And I don't, as I tell you, complain of it. The only thing is that I have to act as it demands of me." "To 'act'?" said Mrs. Assingham with an irrepressible quaver. "Isn't it acting, my dear, to accept it? I do accept it. What do you want me to do less?"
The occasional attribution of some of his numerous compositions to his elder brother is a pardonable mistake, if we may judge by the works that have been reprinted. But the statement, which continues to be repeated in standard works of reference, that "he was one of the first of Italians to use the quaver and its subdivisions" is incomprehensible.
