So should the world's great singers tenderly proclaim the world's most speechless miseries, and who knows but vexed Creation being thus relieved of pent-up woe may not take new heart of grace and comfort?" The words were spoken in a soft SOTTO-VOCE, and Sah-luma seemed not to hear.
But his hands had slipped on the handle of the audience, and the forensic rosin of Demosthenes would not have enabled him to regain his grip. He was cruelly assured of the fact by the hostile and ready-witted whistler. Again Mr. Bispham absurded. This time the tune broke out in all parts of the hall and was itself punctuated by catcalls and sotto-voce insults delivered with terrific shouts. Mr.
There's plenty of people living round us in a sight smaller houses who don't know us, and wouldn't if they could and I'm not so sure that it's altogether the fault of your father and mother either, Selina," he added, breaking ruthlessly in upon a sotto-voce remark of that young lady's. "Well, I never!" Selina exclaimed, tossing her head.
I, on the contrary, listened to everything he said with urbane courtesy I humored him and drew him out as much as possible I smiled complacently at his poor jokes and vulgar witticisms and when he said something that was more than usually outrageous, I contented myself with a benevolent shake of my head, and the mild remark: "Ah! young blood! young blood!" uttered in a bland sotto-voce.
Pedagog spoke, and in the manner of one who was somewhat embarrassed. "I am in an embarrassing position," said she. "Good!" said the Idiot, sotto-voce, to the genial gentleman who occasionally imbibed. "There is hope for the landlady yet.

"Positively, I can scarcely believe it!" he exclaimed sotto-voce "That child I met last night actually wrote this amazing piece of work! It's almost incredible! A nice child too, simple and perfectly natural, nothing of the blue-stocking about her. Well, well! What a career she'll make! what a name! that is, if she takes care of herself and doesn't fall in love, which she's sure to do!
He had thought over all he meant to say; he had planned several eloquent and rounded sentences, some of which he murmured placidly to himself as he propelled his slow boat along. "Yea!" he observed in a mild sotto-voce "ye shall be cut off root and branch! Ye shall be scorched even as stubble, and utterly destroyed."
It was now my turn to be confounded; but the young lady, who had been busily patting the snow with her foot during our short sotto-voce colloquy, very opportunely came to my assistance by pinching her companion’s arm and whispering a suggestion that his friend should be invited to step into the carriage and go with them; it being scarcely agreeable to stand there among so many gazers, and keeping their friends waiting into the bargain.
On Tuesday they had a reading from Shakespeare, conducted by the Captain, and, to judge from the sotto-voce remarks of the audience, they were neither amused nor instructed. "'E must be wet if 'e thinks we liken listenin' to this 'ere stuff!" muttered Able Seaman McSweeny dismally. "'E talks abart 'is ruddy merchant o' Venice, but I doesn't want to 'ear nothin' abart a.... Eyetalian shopkeeper.
Here he drew out his always greasy pocket-handkerchief and wiped his face with as much tender care as though it were a handsome one "I shouldn't be surprised," he continued, in a mild sotto-voce "I shouldn't be at all surprised if he had arranged this little business!
