From my brother I had heard not a whisper for six weeks.

Several girls had heard whispers of what was about to happen.

Though he does seem to hear whispers, and know what they mean.

But, like I said, no one else can hear even a whisper of this.

Just heard a little whisper, but nothing more than that.

While that thought was in my mind, I heard the whisper again.

She was quite prepared to hear a whisper at the door!

Then she apparently heard a whisper from the other side of the door.

If any of them heard a whisper, I'd know about it.

The jury and the judge could hear even a whisper.
