Too far he had gone, however, to back down now, and, had he left the Lady Maud alive, the whole of the palace guard and all the city of London would have been on his heels in ten minutes; there would have been no escape. The little Prince was now so terrified that he could but tremble and whimper in his fright.
"What! is it you?" exclaimed Mother Fetu. There was none of the old whimper in her voice. Her little eyes were sparkling, and a complacent grin had spread over the myriad wrinkles of her face. All the old deference vanished, and she patted Helene's hands as she listened to her broken words. The young woman gave her twenty francs. "May God requite you!" prayed Mother Fetu in her wonted style.
'I wish she felt as I do, he replied: 'spiteful, cruel thing! Hareton never touches me: he never struck me in his life. And I was better to- day: and there his voice died in a whimper. 'I didn't strike you! muttered Cathy, chewing her lip to prevent another burst of emotion.
I never ran across a family down here in such misery as that which Steve Bonnington's wife endured for years without a whimper. Bonnington was a clerk with a big insurance company. He lived four houses below us on our street. I suppose he was earning about eighteen hundred dollars a year when he died. He left five children and he never had money enough even to insure in his own company.
He stammered: "Say, Mark you're you're all right, anyhow." "Why, pshaw!" said Marcus. "That's all right, old man. I'd like to see you two fixed, that's all. We'll go over Wednesday, sure." They turned back to the house. Alexander left off eating and watched them go away, first with one eye, then with the other. But he was too self-respecting to whimper.
To serve his own ends he would have sat there watching all night if necessary. He heard an occasional whimper, a howl from one of the dogs; he heard Enid's voice singing in the drawing-room. The rest of the house was quite funereal enough for him. In the midst of the drawing-room Margaret Henson sat still as a statue. The distant, weary expression never left her eyes for a moment.
Even Bowler lost heart as he stumbled about in the dusk, and heard Braintree shivering and chattering with cold beside him, and Tubbs's scarcely suppressed whimper of misery. "Better get back to the rest as soon as we can," said he, taking out his whistle and blowing it again. They listened, but no answer came, only the shriek of the gulls and the steady splash of the rain on the rocks.
Reicht kissed her, and began to whimper; and would you believe it, the great mastiff uttered one long whine: even his glimmer of sense taught him grief was afoot. "Oh, Reicht!" moaned the despised beauty, as soon as she could utter a word for choking, "see how he has served me!" and she showed her hands, that were bleeding with falling on the stony ground.
"It's right," said Lapham stoutly; "but I guess she ain't willing; I wish she was. But there don't seem to be any way out of the thing, anywhere. It's a perfect snarl. But I don't want you should be anyways ha'sh with Pen." Mrs. Lapham answered nothing; but when she met Penelope she gave the girl's wan face a sharp look, and began to whimper on her neck. Penelope's tears were all spent.
"Say, you certainly made a sight out of yourself and out of me leaving me sitting there with the waiter laughing his boob head off at me. Lord! I'll never dare go near the place again." "Your own fault." This problem was so clear, so unconfused to her. "It wasn't all my fault," he said. "You didn't have to take a drink." His voice fell to a pathetic whimper.
