From the great black house there sounded through the silent night the saddest and most pitiful of sounds,--the shrill, broken whimpering of a frightened woman.
Sign of the Four by Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan View in context
Thus, like the sad presaging raven, that tolls The sick man's passport in her hollow beak, And in the shadow of the silent night Doth shake contagion from her sable wings; Vex'd and tormented, runs poor Barrabas, With fatal curses towards these Christians.
Ivanhoe by Scott, Walter View in context
Again the agonized cry swept through the silent night, louder and much nearer than ever.
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan View in context
