who-asks-very-many-questions"; but we … will call her Teshumai, for short.
And his little girl-daughter's name was Taffimai Metalumai, and that means,
"Small-person-without-any-manners-who-ought-to-be-spanked"; but I'm going
to call her Taffy. (R.K.)
27. "Look! There they are! Wave your hat! Oh! You haven't got one.
Well, I'll cooee!" (J.G.)
28. Fleur, leaning out of the window, heard the hall clock's muffled chime
of twelve, the tiny splash of a fish, the sudden shaking of an aspen's leaves in
the puffs of breeze that rose along the river, the distant rumble of a night train,
and time and again the sounds which none can put a name to in the darkness,
soft obscure expressions of uncatalogued emotions from man and beast, bird
and machine … (J.G.)
29. In the field beyond the bank where her skiff lay up, a machine drawn
by a grey horse was turning an early field of hay. She watched the grass cas-
cading over and behind the light wheels with fascination – it looked so cool and
fresh. The click and swish blended with the rustle of the willows and the pop-
lars, and the cooing of a wood-pigeon, in a true river song. (J.G.)
30. Bees, sheltering out of the wind, hummed softly, and over the grass
fell the thick shade from those fruit-trees planted by her father five-and-twenty
years ago. Birds were almost silent, the cuckoos had ceased to sing, but wood-
pigeons were cooing. (J.G.)
31. On arriving home he heard the click of billiard balls, and through the
window saw young Mont sprawling over the table. Fleur, with her cue akimbo,
was watching with a smile. (J.G.)
32. The orderly's mouth had gone dry, and his tongue rubbed in it as on
dry brown-paper. He worked his throat … "Some poetry, sir," came the
crackling, unrecognizable sound of his voice. "Poetry, what poetry?" asked the
Captain, with a sickly smile. Again there was the working in the throat …"For
my girl, sir" he heard the dry, inhuman sound. "Oh!" said he, turning away.
"Clear the table." "Click!" went the soldier's throat; then again, "click!" and
then the half-articulate: "Yes, sir." (D.H.L.)
33. Somewhere in her inner consciousness was an awareness of the usual
early-morning noises of the household. The rattle of the curtain rings on the
stairs as the housemaid drew them, the noises of the second housemaid's
dustpan and brush in the passage outside. In the distance the heavy noise of the
front-door bolt being drawn back. (A.Ch.)
34. For quite half an hour longer the usual household noises would go on,
discreet, subdued, not disturbing because they were so familiar. They would
culminate in a swift, controlled sound of footsteps along the passage, the rustle of
a print dress, the subdued chink of tea things as the tray was deposited on the table
outside, then the soft knock and the entry of Mary to draw the curtains. (A.Ch.)

35. Her ears listened unconsciously for the chink of china, but there was
no chink of china. (A.Ch.)
36. Peter Morton woke with a start to face the first light. Through the
window he could see a bare bough dropping across a frame of silver. Rain
tapped against the glass. (G.G.)
37. He had not heard her coming. Girls were like that. Their shoes never
squeaked. No board whined under their tread. (G.G.)
38. "Where's Francis?" he wondered. "If I join him he'll be less frightened
of all these sounds." "These sounds" were the casing of silence. The squeak of a
loose board, the cautious closing of a cupboard door, the whine of a finger
drawn along polished wood. (G.G.)
39. He stopped what he was doing and watched them with furtive dislike.
He was afraid that the rattle of the shutters would attract their attention. (G.G.)
40. He was listening to voices and footsteps in the other room. These
were voices he did not recognize. Then a car drove up and presently drove
away again. Somebody rattled the handle of the door. (G.G.)
41. "Did you say that he was your brother? It's impossible," and he frowned
incredulously at the proprietor and rattled the coins in his pockets. (G.G.)
42. … suddenly, high up in the air, there was a sizzling explosion tailing
away into a murmur. I looked up. The fireworks had started. As the first
constellation floated slowly down and faded away a delighted "aaah" rose from
thousands of throats and everyone stood still. (I.M.)
43. I leapt to the store-room door and pushed Hugo through it. "Through
the window!" I called after him. I could hear him blundering ahead of me, and I
could hear Stitch's feet scrabbling on the floor of the corridor. I slammed the
door of the store-room behind me … (I.M.)
44. At that moment I heard the sound of a vehicle drawing up, with a
great screeching of brakes, in the street outside. (I.M.)
45. "… I doubt very much if you opened your textbook even once the
whole term. Did you? Tell the truth, boy." "Well, I sort of glanced through it a
couple of times," I told him. I didn't want to hurt his feelings. He was mad
about history. "You glanced through it, eh?" he said – very sarcastic. "Your, ah,
exam paper is over there on top of my chiffonier. On top of the pile. Bring it
here, please." (J.D.S.)
46. Through spaces of the unfinished house, shirt-sleeved figures worked
slowly, and sounds arose – spasmodic knockings, the scraping of metal, the
sawing of wood, with the rumble of wheelbarrows along boards; now and again
the foreman's dog, tethered by a string to an oaken beam, whimpered feebly,
with a sound like the singing of a kettle. (J.G.)
47. In the drowsy, almost empty room the only sounds were the rustle of
newspapers, the scraping of matches being struck. (J.G.)
