The doctor opened his eyes, and tried to look as though ready to be surprised. "Something that will really make you look about; and something, too, that will be very much to the hearer's advantage, as the newspaper advertisements say." "Something to my advantage?" said the doctor. "Well, I hope you'll think so. Doctor, what would you think now of my getting married?"
Communication, which is the very object of speech, is successfully effected only when the hearer's auditory perceptions are translated into the appropriate and intended flow of imagery or thought or both combined. Hence the cycle of speech, in so far as we may look upon it as a purely external instrument, begins and ends in the realm of sounds.
Amyas said it again, and then went on; faltering, he hinted at the manner of her death. "Go on, sir! Why are you afraid? There is nothing to be ashamed of there, is there?" Amyas told the whole with downcast eyes, and then stole a look at his hearer's face. There was no sign of emotion: only somewhat of a proud smile curled the corners of that iron mouth.
If, in speaking to a person, you are not heard, and should be desired to repeat what you said, do not raise your voice in the repetition, lest you should be thought angry, on being obliged to repeat what you had said before; it was probably owing to the hearer's inattention. One word only, as to swearing.
"Zion's sake" here, then, is the motive of all this unfolding of the secret history of the hearer's heart and life. From very pity this man cannot speak of health when he sees the canker in the rose which blooms upon the cheek, when he perceives that, despite the appearance of strength and vigour, "the whole head is sick, the whole heart is faint."
Each word burned itself into his hearer's consciousness, for Robert did not know that the unfortunate father was being coerced to a distasteful compact by the scoundrel who figured in the narrative as his evil genius. At the conclusion Sir Arthur bowed his head between his hands. "I cannot choose but believe you," he admitted huskily.
'To-day, she said. 'I do not care where it is, but I want you to take me away. 'For how long? I do not understand, gasped Dick. 'I shall never come back here any more, was all she answered. Wild words uttered, as these were, with perfect quiet of manner and voice, exercise a double influence on the hearer's mind.
Humpage complied, and when he finished for the second time, his hearer's face was purple and distorted, and Mabel pitied him from her own experience. 'Dear Mr. Lightowler, she said, 'you mustn't blame Mark; he had no choice, he had promised. 'Promised! Uncle Solomon almost howled; 'what business had he got to make a promise like that?
When no invitation to share in the treat was forthcoming Pierce told of meeting a most attractive girl that afternoon, and, having obtained his hearer's interest, he described the youthful goddess of the snows with more than necessary enthusiasm. He became aware of a peculiar expression upon Rock's face. "Yes. I know her well," the latter said, quietly.
But as he went on he preached "so New Testament like" that his hearer's prejudices vanished, and he could only "admire, weep for joy, and give the preacher his affections." Bunyan was more than once urged to leave Bedford and settle in the metropolis. But to all these solicitations he turned a deaf ear. Bedford was the home of his deepest affections.
