By-and-by, as he proceeded with his sonorous but somewhat melancholy discourse, everybody perceived that he was preaching a sermon. The intonation of his voice, the phraseology, the measured sweep of the hands, all smacked of the pulpit.
'Yes, yes, yes! he answered, with a rapidity quite unlike himself. 'Why, Nuttie, how mystified you look! 'I'm sure I don't wonder at any one being glad to live at dear old Micklethwayte, said Nuttie slowly. 'But, somehow, I didn't think it of you, Mark. 'My dear, that's not all! said her mother.

And I judge from what you tell me that he took characters each time which compelled him largely to alter and modify his tone and accent." "Yes," I said.
