"On the strength of this acquaintance she quite lords it over us at times, and is always reminding me of the many haughty virtues of her friend as a pattern that I should follow. You see, I am incessantly confronted with this princess." I thought it was a pretty piece of acting, though the emphasis of her dislike for the princess was unmistakably genuine.
That's different altogether from us." He gave a sidelong glance at Brydon, and saw a troubled look. "Yes," Brydon said, "he is different; and so is she." "She is a lady," Pierre said, with slow emphasis. "She couldn't hide it if she tried. She plays the piano, and looks all silk in calico. Made for this?" he waved his hand towards the Bridge House. "No, no! made for "
Do you mean to tell me that you don't recollect saying to me that you preferred me to all the rest of my sex?" "I never said that!" says Tita, with emphasis; "never! never! Why should I say that?" She looks at Gower as if demanding an answer. "I'm not good at conundrums," says he. "Ask me another." "No; I won't," says she. "Why?" Upon this Mr.
"Supper will be ready directly," she said, with cold and icy emphasis. "And may I ask you to remember, Mary, please, that Andersonville has dinner at noon, not at six o'clock." "Yes, Aunt Jane," said Mary, polite and proper again. We didn't do anything in the evening but read and go to bed at nine o'clock.

Do be sensible, and remember that they will have to prove that he killed Samoval. And you can't prove a thing to be what it isn't. You can't!" "Are you sure?"

"What is it you mean, Father Peter? I'm ashamed of ye; faith, it's may be yourself, not Mars, you are speaking of."
You could hardly be more alone, more entirely at my mercy than you are at this moment, Miss Henderson!" He laid an ironic emphasis on the name. She shrugged her shoulders. "All the same the people who live with me in this house will soon be back. I recommend you to make haste. I ask you again what is it you want?" She had stood up pluckily he admitted it.

"Jack, here, is taking me, aren't you?" Donovan said "I am" with great emphasis, and made as if he would kiss her, and she pushed him off, laughing, holding her muff to his face.
The vowel-sound alone is too open. An absolutely pure tone can be produced upon it, but it will lack color. It will be a pure tone, but otherwise uninteresting. With the consonant added, it obtains color and gains interest. Voice is indebted in an amazing degree to the consonants. Sing the phrase "I love you," and put the emphasis on "you," which, for practical purposes, is a pure vowel-sound.
