"That's very well: but it is not Madame that I mean." Raoul colored deeply, but made no reply. "You do not appear to understand me, monsieur le vicomte," persisted M. de la Fere, without accenting his words more strongly, but with a rather severer look.
She went forward under protest and drew her gloved fingers across the plush back of a seat, looked at her fingers and said, "Hmh!" as though her worst fears were confirmed. She looked at one of the men and spoke as she would speak to a servant. "Is there no other coach on this train?" "No, ma'am!" the man said, accenting the first word as though he wished to prevent argument. "It's this or walk."
By his manner of accenting the last word it was impossible to mistake the insulting meaning he intended to attach to it. The two gentlemen having left their seats, without this scene attracting any notice, in consequence of the stalls being empty for the most part during the entr'acte, Monsieur Dorlange saw at some distance the celebrated sculptor Stidmann, and went up to him.
The fife-and-drum corps followed, and behind marched the champions, dragging Hecla Number One on its ruckling trucks. Then, with the bass drums punctuating and accenting, they sang: "Rip-te-hoo! And a hip, hip, holler! We'll lick hell for a half a dollar!"
"I reckon I am," he replied, gazing steadily at her without feeling or resentment and speaking slowly, "yes, I'm an 'ign'rant, savage, stupid brute," deliberately accenting each word as he repeated the stinging phrase, " but what's the use?" he finished with a mirthless laugh.

Her shrivelled forearm, exposed by the loose sleeve, possessed no more of muscle than several taut bowstrings stretched across meagre bone under yellow, parchment-like skin. Along this mummy arm jade bracelets shot up and down and clashed with every blow. "Ah!" she cried out, rhythmically accenting her blows in series of three to each shrill observation. "I forbade you to talk to Li Faa.
As the influence of the Renaissance spread to France and England, changed by the national temperament of the different countries, we find their furniture often blossoming into color not covered by a solid coat of paint but picked out here and there by lines and accenting points.
Merriman," I said eagerly, "may I send you in a cup of strawberry ice? I've some early strawberries from the city." She turned on me her great dark eyes, with their flat curve of shadow accenting her sadness. "I'm sure you are very kind," she said simply. "An' I should be pleased, I'm sure." I rose, hesitating, longing to say what I had in mind.
He had no more imagination than one of his own reports. He had a long, sad face, like a tired workhorse's, and heavy black eyebrows that curved high in the middle and arched downward at each end circumflexes accenting the incurable stupidity of his expression. His black mustache drooped the same way, too, in the design of an inverted magnet.
