For, at the idea of personally confronting the destined bride whose very existence had almost vanished from his mind's eye, amidst the golden showers that it saw falling divinely round her Randal was suddenly reminded of the exceeding bluntness with which, at their last interview, it had been his policy to announce his suit, and of the necessity of an impromptu falsetto suited to the new variations that tossed him again to and fro on the merciless gamut.
This creature, bowed and satiate with monotonous years, took the pipe from her indrawn lips, and asked in a weary, trembling falsetto: 'How many wives hast had? 'Seventane, the Inca retorted quickly, dropping at once into broad dialect, 'and now lone and lookin' to wed again. Wilt have me? 'Nay, replied the crone. 'I've buried four mysen, and no man o' mine shall bury me.
All through the night-watches he had said the same thing at intervals. The effect always was of a red-hot wire drawn down the frayed ends of their nerves. But again one by one they themselves fell into line. "It was that old woman I remember," said Honey Smith. There were bruises, mottled blue and black, all over Honey's body. There was a falsetto whistling to Honey's voice. "That Irish granny!
"Te-he!" squeaked Petullo with an irritating falsetto. "You must have your bit joke, Mr. MacTaggart. Did his Grace did his Grace I was just wondering if his Grace said anything to-day about my unfortunate accident with the compote yestreen." He looked more cunningly than ever at the Chamberlain.

There is a hollow ring about it, a falsetto tone in its voice; a fatiguing literary grimace in the manner of its authors.
Mandl, who recognized only two registers, spoke of them as "lower" and "upper," equivalent to "chest" and "head," as commonly used. The high falsetto of men and the head voice of women are produced by a similar mechanism and method. In the investigation of registers more attention should be given to the use of the breathing organs than has hitherto been done by those writing on this subject.
In restoring the female voice that has carried the chest voice too high it is necessary to carry the middle register down, sometimes as low as middle C until it has regained its power. The tenor or baritone must do essentially the same thing. It will be head voice. Does the falsetto have any part in the development of the head voice?

There was a moment of sickening silence; not so much as a leaf whirled in the gutter; it was broken by a great cheer from the assembled hundreds of workmen farther up the street, followed by a conglomerate of hootings, cat-calls, yells and falsetto hoorays from the fringe of small boys. The faces of the three men in front of the post-office grew white at their unspoken thought.
Listen to that, Smoke!" Three ancient squaws had halted midway between the bachelors' camp and the camp of McCan, and the oldest was declaiming in shrill falsetto. Smoke recognized the names, but not all the words, and Shorty translated with melancholy glee. "Labiskwee, the daughter of Snass, the Rainmaker, the Great Chief, lights her first maiden's fire to-night.
