In a spot which in the nature of its divine fascination could be found only beneath one sky, that sky the most balmy and loving upon earth! Who could think of love within the haunt and temple of "That Nympholepsy of some fond despair," and not feel that love enhanced, deepened, modulated, into at once a dream and a desire?
"Every dollar will be repaid," she assured them. "I promise it." Her voice, though softly modulated, had a penetrating quality which carried it to the hearing of those in the office. Someone opened the door and she entered. The crowd, evidently scenting some new deceit swarmed in after her. "What assurance have we that we're going to get the money?" one of them demanded.
And as we sat there, gazing and listening, a human voice came out of the night a call prolonged and modulated like the coo-ee of the Australian bush, far off and faint; but the children in the kitchen heard it at the same time, for they too had been listening, and instantly went mad with excitement. "Father!" they all screamed together.
Heredia in his person expressed the activity which impelled him, for he was strong, brown, erect, a rapid walker, and a man whose voice was perpetually modulated in resonant and powerful tones. In his last years during his administration of the Library at the Arsenal this vitality of his took on an aspect of good nature very charming and very fruitful.
Their grand distinguishing characteristic is their unswerving and perfect truth. The poetry of Shakspeare is the mirror of life that of Burns the expressive and richly modulated voice of human nature.
I do not mean I could not understand the words: I was too far off even to hear them; but I could not understand how the voice came to be so modulated.

For I could not conjecture from it the age, or sex, or relation, or kind of the person to whom the words were spoken.
Step inside, and stand wonderingly at the threshold of the pretty parlor he did; and then there was a rustle of silken skirts on the floor above, and, as he turned to listen, his haggard, careworn face took on a look something like that which overspread it the night he got the letter at Reno something that told of bewilderment and perplexity as a quiet, modulated voice told the servant to tell the gentleman Mr.
This supposition had induced him, during our conversation at the Cocoa tree, to struggle with and keep down those indignant risings with which, notwithstanding the modulated tone of his voice, I could see he was more than half choaked. After what I had heard and situated as I was at present, I had very little doubt either of the purity of his patriotism or the manner in which it would affect me.
Thawing visibly under the influence of Hawke's gracefully modulated camaraderie, the susceptible Anstruther was attentively examining his fair neighbor in silence, while he tried vaguely to recall some story which he had once heard, quite detrimental to the cosmopolitan Major. He gave it up as a bad job! "Hang it!" he thought. "It may have been some other chap. Very likely!"
There was a short pause, broken only by the rustling of papers, and then a low, carefully modulated voice replied: "Bring the fellow in, then, sentry"; and Jim was ushered into the presence of Captain Villavicencio, the famous captain of the Peruvian corvette.
