For every one of those phrases he modulated under the fig-trees more sadly than the Lamentations of Jeremiah on Jeudi Saint overset me was like death." That is good drawing, in its simple and quiet way! The actual scene, however, is cheerful enough on this early summer day a symphony, as we said, in cherries and goldfinches, in which the higher valleys of the Cevennes abound.
With your well modulated and empty tones you have so labored for rhetorical effect that the body of your speech has lost its vigor and died. Young men did not learn set speeches in the days when Sophocles and Euripides were searching for words in which to express themselves.
The ordinary and familiar surroundings all disappeared. His consciousness accepted nothing but the cameo profile of marble white, the nimbus of golden haze about the head, the mist-like suggestion of a body, and again the clear marble spot of the hands. All else was a background of modulated depths.
He was not likely to undervalue the wits of one who had so often flouted him, who, even now, had placed him in a preposterous predicament by this entanglement over the death of a spy. But he was resolved to use his best skill to disarm her sophistication. His large voice was modulated to kindliness as he spoke in a casual manner. "I just sent for you to tell you that you're free."

As she carried the tray to the large table she heard a man whisper low: "By jove! ... Hough, that's the girl!" Then she heard a slight, quick intake of breath, and the exclamation, "Good God!" Both voices thrilled Allie. The former seemed the low, well- modulated, refined, and drawling speech of an Englishman; the latter was keen, quick, soft, and full of genuine emotion.
The two men confronted each other, both held calm by a strength which a moment ago would have seemed impossible in at least one of them. Grey's face worked painfully with suppressed excitement, but he gripped himself. George Iredale was calm under the effort of swift thought.
