Very slowly, very methodically, he put down first his precious rod-case and then his grip.
Suddenly she shrugged her shoulders, straightened her form, put away from her the expression of terror, and said quietly, but incisively: "You will not need to say anything about this. Allow me." And with a swaying step she departed a step so short as almost to convey the impression that her legs were bound together.
Her eyes narrowed occasionally with an effect of sudden dreaminess, and these momentary reveries seemed to the adoring Sylvia wholly fascinating. She spoke incisively and her voice was deep and resonant. She was exceedingly thin and wiry, and her movements were quick and nervous.

Shaynon interposed incisively. "Mrs. Strone's not that kind." "Shut up!" snapped P. Sybarite. "What do you know about it? You've lied yourself out of court already."

"It's solid oak, sir," he began. Then he raised his hand. "Pardon me, gentlemen," he said, as though an idea had struck him.
