Some could scarcely conceive how they could so blunder in accent and emphasis. However, most things require learning, even advocacy and acting. Eliot Yorke was stage-manager, and wrote a very excellent prologue. It must have been good, it was so heartily applauded, and the same may be said of all of us. I think Radcliffe studied the part of Old Knowell, while I played Young Knowell.

Balais, with emphasis; "though I shall probably have the opportunity of seeing you another time" and he glanced significantly toward the dock "in another place." When Mr. Balais rose again it was to speak for the defense, and he addressed the jury amidst an unbroken silence.

It will encourage continuous concentration of attention to an entire argument; it will help you to preserve relative emphasis of parts; it will lead you to regard thought and not words.

"Life is sure to reach out in one form or another and seize on him. I told him so." "Yes," breathed the other. "You would." "What were you intending to do with him?" There was a hint of challenge in the slight emphasis given to the query. "I? Nothing. He is under no obligation to me." "There you and he differ. He regards you as an infallible mentor."

"And now I am at last alone," said Eckhof; "now I must study my new role; now stand by me, ye gods, and inspire me with your strength; give me the right tone, the right emphasis to personate this rare and wonderful Hippolytus, with which I hope to win the stern professors of Halle!"
