Her voice was taut, without inflection, as if in pain, occasionally breaking into a dry sob, only to become even more taut after a silence. "I don't I can't urge you to any further sacrifice," Lanstron replied. "You have endured enough." "But it will help? It will be of vital service?" "Yes, tremendously vital." "I will try to learn more when I see him," she continued.
They quirk their heads sidewise or down and stare at an intruder with the most comical air of skeptical wonder. "Well, look who's here!" says the expression. "Pooh!" says the kongoni himself, after a good look, "pooh! pooh!" with the most insulting inflection. He is very numerous and very alert.
Gordon's inflection meant anything it meant that even if he had been my father's "other self," my mother's desertion had aroused in him the same contempt for my father that all the rest of our little world had felt. I felt my indefinable feeling of repulsion against the man melt into warm approval of him.
There was a falling inflection in Mrs. Bray's voice, as if the reference had sent her thoughts away back to other and more innocent days. The two women sat silent for some moments after that; and when Pinky spoke, which she did first, it was in lower and softer tones: "I don't like to think much about them old times, Fan; do you?

In her tone and inflection Aunt Bell ably conveyed an exposition of the old gentleman's impossibility lucidly allotting him to spiritual fellowship with the head-hunters of Borneo. "I know it, but, Aunt Bell, those old sermons really did me good; all full of fire they were, too, but you felt a man back of them a good man, a real man.
"When I first came to Brockhurst, that picture used to hang in the study," he continued, by way of explanation. "Ah! I see, and you turned it out!" Richard observed, not without an inflection of irony. "Yes. In those days I am afraid I did not discriminate very justly between refinement of taste and self-indulgent fastidiousness.
"Yes, they say he has bought it." "And the Germans will soon be coming?" "They say." She would not commit herself but by a tone, an inflection, but we knew very well what she and the frescoed presences about us thought.
