overhear

Further along the footpath around the old dock, I overhear an American accent.

The new tension is there in just a few whispers, as when Hedda overhears a guest murmur that their hostess is “duskier than I thought she would be.”

In fact, conspirators were overheard on a wiretap saying they “wouldn’t trust Joe” to agree to their scheme.

Titus, who lived with his mother, was overheard asking for a ride to her house because his motorcycle wouldn’t start.

He only learned he was going to Arizona after overhearing a conversation between two guards.
