It was a comfort to turn from this formidable countenance to that of Raffles, who had entered with his own serene unconscious confidence, and now introduced us with that inimitable air of light-hearted authority which stamped him in all shades of society. "'Appy to meet you, sir. I hope you're well?" said Mr. Levy, dropping one aspirate but putting in the next with care.
She found voice against a beating heart to say: "Would you, sir, say the name again for me? My hearing is a bit old." "Her name, same as mine, Daver-hill." He made the mistake, fatal to clear speech, of overdoing articulation. All the more that it caused a false aspirate; not a frequent error with him, in spite of his long association with defective speakers. It relieved her mind.
'Oh, how I hope she isn't vulgar! said Emmeline to herself. 'I don't like the bat I don't. And that sunshade with the immense handle. From the top of the stairs she heard a clear, unaffected voice: 'Mrs. Mumford at home? Yes, the aspirate was sounded thank goodness! It surprised her, on entering the room, to find that Miss Derrick looked no less nervous than she was herself.
The treatment of solecism and barbarism in grammar corresponded to that of fallacies in logic. With regard to the alphabet it is worth noting that the Stoics recognised seven vowels and six mutes. This is more correct than our way of talking of nine mutes, since the aspirate consonants are plainly not mute.
The foreign gentleman, with patient courtesy entreated pardon; 'But what was tokenz? 'Marks, said Mr Podsnap; 'Signs, you know, Appearances Traces. 'Ah! Of a Orse? inquired the foreign gentleman. 'We call it Horse, said Mr Podsnap, with forbearance. 'In England, Angleterre, England, We Aspirate the "H," and We Say "Horse." Only our Lower Classes Say "Orse!"
These were the first words I had heard him speak, and I noticed that he did not pronounce the letter s* in the Andalusian fashion, whence I concluded he was a traveller, like myself, though, maybe, somewhat less of an archaeologist. * The Andalusians aspirate the s, and pronounce it like the soft c and the z, which Spaniards pronounce like the English th.
Aronsohn speaks of a child who was playing with a toy wind-instrument, and in his efforts to forcibly aspirate air through it, the child drew the detached reed into the respiratory passages, causing asphyxiation. At the autopsy the foreign body was found at the superior portion of the left bronchus.
Vicarious ale is now more approved, and the tankard almost everywhere politely preferred to the Churn. Also the Celtic Koren, Keren, or corn, which continues according to its old pronunciation in Cornwall, etc., and our modern word horn is no more than this; the ancient hard sound of k in corn being softened into the aspirate h, as has been done in numberless instances.
And besides, he could not tell whether the queen meant light-haired or light-heired; for why might she not aspirate her vowels when she was exasperated herself? He turned upon his other heel, and rejoined her. She looked angry still, because she knew that she was guilty, or, what was much the same, knew that HE thought so.
Well accustomed to produce his voice to good purpose, the choirmaster's words were clearly to be heard throughout the building, and it was on the subject of articulation and emphasis, and the like, that he was speaking; now and then throwing in an extra aspirate in the energy of that enthusiasm without which teaching is not worth the name. "That'll not do. We must have it altogether different.
