But though the little Napoleon was gloomy, monosyllabic, and quiet, yet was he from early childhood the favorite of all who knew him, and he already wielded over brothers, sisters, and companions, a wonderful influence.
Potter halted, bursting into speech less monosyllabic but no less vehement: "Mr. Tinker, did you ever see Mounet-Sully?" "No." "Did you, Mr. Canby?" "No." "Mewnay-Sooyay!" Potter mimicked the pronunciation of his adviser. "'Mewnay-Sooyay! Of coss I don't say YOU could ever be another Mewnay-Sooyay! Ass! I'll tell you what Mounet-Sully's 'technique' amounts to, Mr. Tinker. It's yell!
Certainly there was the gardener, Blake, about the premises who, being of the downright black-hearted sex, might have let fall the words Max had evidently garnered and laid by with such care and accuracy until occasion offered. But he was so surly and monosyllabic a man that the children gave him the widest of berths, and therefore that theory was unlikely. Anna aspersed the character of Larkin.
I observed at Maimaichin, as at San Francisco, the tendency to add an 'o' sound to monosyllabic consonant words.

Me and the Prof are now gonna make an exhaustive investigation and give you our findings. Got it all?" The monosyllabic grunt coming over the wire showed Jimmy that Roy Heath had taken it all.
Irresolute, she let her eyes rest again for a fraction of a second on his eyes; when she drew a breath after that pause everything was over. "I'd better give him his medicine first," she said, looking toward the sick-room door. His monosyllabic answer was calm: "Do." Then as she laid her hand on the knob of the door to enter the room: "Can I help any?" "Oh, no!" she cried indignantly.
The saleswomen there could not find happiness in dressing the strangely sullen woman with monosyllabic mendacities of date and place for this celebratory solemnization. Under the lattice inside the store, staring at herself in a tripartite mirror, she didn't like the trains of the wedding dresses she was trying on.
She talked on, planning village kindnesses, unheeding the silence of her husband and the monosyllabic answers of Margaret. Before the things were cleared away, Mr. Hale got up; he leaned one hand on the table, as if to support himself: 'I shall not be at home till evening. I am going to Bracy Common, and will ask Farmer Dobson to give me something for dinner.
