"Good heavens! what will become of us?" murmured the wretched Chaigneux. "It's absolutely necessary that the article should go in." "Well, I'm quite agreeable. But speak to the governor yourself.

Yet the teacher is conscious only of citing the mechanical rule, and believes this to cover the entire instruction. In the preceding chapter it was seen that the perfectly produced vocal tone may be considered in a variety of aspects.
