George behaved magnanimously. He might have extinguished Lucas with a single inflection as Lucas, shamed to the uttermost, poured a spare half-tin of petrol into the tank. He refrained. In one minute, in less than one minute, they were at the side entrance to the Café Royal, which less than a minute earlier had been inconceivably distant and unattainable. Lucas dashed first into the restaurant.
The firelight played upon her red-gold hair, and surprise had driven the weariness from her face. Against the black oak of the chimneypiece she had almost the appearance of a framed cameo. Her voice was quite steady, although its inflection betrayed some indignation. "Will you kindly explain who you are and what you mean by this extraordinary behaviour?" she demanded.
As she told me two days ago, I shall find nothing; but if I did it would be useless, for, on the moment anything of hers was touched, her servants would see that the finder never carried it from the house." "Oho!" said Cleek with a strong rising inflection. "A little searching party of her own, eh? The lady is clever, at all events.
Soon the young man seemed to be aware of the presence and watchful eye, and looked behind him, peering into the dusk. Then the man left his place and came toward him, with slow, sauntering step. "Hullo!" he said, with an insinuating, rising inflection and in the soft voice of the Scandinavian. "Hallo!" replied the young man. "Seek?" "Sick? No." The young man laughed slightly.
All my conversations with my playfellows bore upon actors, whose art, although as yet I had no experience of it, was the first of all its numberless forms in which Art itself allowed me to anticipate its enjoyment. Between one actor's tricks of intonation and inflection and another's, the most trifling differences would strike me as being of an incalculable importance.
He had one redeeming feature, however a pair of blue eyes that looked straight at you and made you feel that there was no "crookedness" behind them. His brief letter had led me to expect a man of few words, but I soon found that John Jones was a talker and a good-natured gossip. He knew every one we met, and was usually greeted with a rising inflection, like this, "How are you, John?"
And this good night, though dropping sweetly into the minor third, had yet on its final inflection something of the pleasant hopefulness of its major key it expressed anticipation and satisfaction. What happened in the night session she could not tell, but she awoke with a positive disinclination to ask a question about Mr. Mostyn.
This inflection was continued by those behind, who, on arriving at this point, dived down almost perpendicularly to a great depth, and, rising, followed the exact path of those that went before.
"Of course," continued Madeleine with a sarcastic inflection "of course, I can't expect you to see it as I do. Men look at these things differently, I know. Possibly if I were a man, I, too, should stand by, with my hands in my pockets, and watch a friend butt his head against a stone wall thinking it, indeed, rather good fun." She had touched Dove on a tender spot.
"And the reason I wondered if you knew about him is that sometimes you remind me of him." "Oh!" And the change in Jerry's inflection showed the change in his mental attitude. "Yes, he loved birds just as you do. Dick had to write a composition about Audubon last spring, and I helped him in reading up for it. That's how I happen to know so much about him." With this preface Peggy began.
