What was singular and accounted for by no evident circumstance was the manner of the child in listening for the names which she had clearly heard incorrectly Harry for Harvey, and Fox for Coxe, and after holding her ear forward as would one who heard imperfectly something said to him.
Beecot, the bully, was not a bad old boy if only he had been firmly dealt with, so he acknowledged that Paul had a fine spirit of his own, inherited from himself, and prophesied incorrectly.
The attack pricked his vanity. He controlled himself, however, and took up the argument: "Memory is not sense, perhaps; but still one ought to know the best that has been said and done in the world. It is easier to climb the ladder when others have shown us the rungs. And surely to talk correctly is better than to talk incorrectly."
A marked difference was evidently noticed by the old Italian masters between the feelings awakened in the hearer by a voice properly managed and those awakened by an incorrectly produced voice.

Only, you must be sure you utter it correctly. To pronounce incorrectly is to call it incompletely into life and form to distort and injure it, and yourself with it. To make it untrue a lie."
He first gives the facts incorrectly, and then explains an occurrence which, as reported by him, did not occur, and was not asserted to occur.
I have none; nor do I wish for any." "That was not my reply, monsieur, and you have been incorrectly informed," said the hospitalière, in so noble and touching a tone of voice that Joyeuse's anger was in a moment subdued. "The actual words are immaterial, madame, when their sense has been conveyed. You have rejected my brother, and have reduced him to despair."
