He noted every change in her face, every sad inflexion in her voice, and at once there came back to him the conversation he had held with Mrs. Harrington. Could Elizabeth have known this man? Was there a secret in her past of which he was ignorant?
He had not come home since he had obtained his high place in the mathematical lists: that Molly knew; and she knew, too, that he was working hard for something she supposed a fellowship and that was all. Osborne's tone in speaking of him was always the same: every word, every inflexion of the voice breathed out affection and respect nay, even admiration!
On the N.W. there is a curious curved inflexion of the Mare, bounded by a bright cliff, representing probably the E. side of a destroyed ring, a supposition which is strengthened by the existence of a faint scar on the surface of the sea, extending in a curve from one extremity of the bay to the other, and thus indicating the position of the remainder of the ring.
A pause; then with a new, yet still subdued inflexion of the voice an inflexion which provoked while it pleased me accompanied, too, by a "sourire a la fois fin et timide" in perfect harmony with the tone: "C'est a dire, monsieur sera toujours un peu entete exigeant, volontaire ?" "Have I been so, Frances?" "Mais oui; vous le savez bien." "Have I been nothing else?"
Certain dishes a little out of season, perhaps, or classed as luxuries were borne triumphantly past her by a glad parlour-maid acting upon a frown and a glance that Mrs. Chater signalled. Certain occasions, again, when private matters were to be discussed, were heralded by "Miss Humfray," in an inflexion of voice that set Mary to fold her napkin and from the room.
Another shorter and coarser cleft runs S. of this across an irregularly shaped bay or inflexion in the border of the Mare. MANILIUS. This, one of the most brilliant objects in the first quadrant, is about 25 miles in diameter, with walls nearly 8000 feet above the floor, which includes a bright central mountain.
"All right," he replied, "I will send over the first thing to-morrow morning;" and from the inflexion of his mother's voice, Jim gathered that his programme for the morrow had, at all events, not met altogether with her approval. But there were still a few more bitter drops to be squeezed into the cup of Lady Mary's discontent before she laid her head upon her pillow.
They are devoid of that rapid movement, that interior life, to which the inflexion of the root is favourable, and which impart such charms to works of imagination.
"Zey ask for you at ze delephone!" He took her to a cabin under the main staircase. "This is Miss Trevert speaking!" said Mary. "I am speaking for Mr. Schulz," a man's voice answered rather a nasal voice with a shade of foreign inflexion "he has had your letter. He is very sorry he has been detained in the country, but would be very glad if you would lunch with him to-day at his country-house."
It was the most natural thing in the world to say, and he said it without any noticeable inflexion of the voice, only it happened to express the youth's emotions at the moment with an utterance that was symbolic of the situation and of his own helplessness as a factor in it. He was alone with Défago in a primitive world: that was all.
