The road was one side of a horseshoe ten miles long.
Helen was just dressed, and had given her last orders to her bewildered maid, when she heard a knock at the door, and Mademoiselle Felicie's voice. She could not at this instant endure to hear her heartless exclamatory speeches; she would not admit her. Mademoiselle Felicie gave Rose a note for her young lady it was from Cecilia.
As if this exclamatory phrase, sent hissing through his teeth too foul to bear translation were the name of a man, one at this moment appears in the doorway, who, after a gesture of permission to enter, steps inside the room.

Oliver drank in every word, drawing out the brother with skilful questions and little exclamatory remarks that filled Grant with enthusiasm and induced him to talk on.
And when I heard Rachel in the Cid, I thought, by the rapid, undramatic way in which she hurried through his declamations, while, in a few exclamatory bursts, she swept everything before her, that she justified my criticism.
