By studying together in clubs, by conversing in monotone and by rule, by thinking the same things and exchanging ideas until we have none left, we shall come into that social placidity which is one dream of the nationalists one long step towards what may be called a prairie mental condition the slope of Kansas, where those who are five thousand feet above the sea-level seem to be no higher than those who dwell in the Missouri Valley.
I've got to keep moving fast." They strode off together, taking a favorite walk through the Presidio toward the Beach. From a hill-top they saw the Exposition buildings rising from what once had been a slough. Aleta paused and looked down. "It's easier to bear up here," she spoke in an odd, weary monotone, as if she were thinking aloud.
There was a faint flash of light, followed after an interval by a low, deep reverberation. The voices in nature seemed heavy and threatening. The sweet, gentle monotone of the woman's voice, as she began to speak, was divine in contrast. Slowly she enunciated the sentences: "What I do, thou knowest not now: but thou shalt know hereafter."
"Not there?" fell from her lips in a frozen monotone as her eyes grew fixed upon the faces before her and her hand went groping around for some support. Mr. Hammersmith approached with a chair. "Sit," he whispered. Then, as she sank slowly into an attitude of repose, he added gently, "You shall have every consideration.

But there was not even appeal in the tone of her voice it was all a drab, colourless monotone. "Whatcha come here fer?" she questioned. "Pa, he's home. If he should ter wake up " She left the sentence unfinished.
"I will consider what you have said," she said mechanically. The reaction was so unexpected that he turned giddy and caught on to the back of a chair to steady himself. "It will not take me a week," she went on with no change in her monotone; "I can give you an answer in a day or two. To-morrow night, perhaps."
She maintained an obstinate silence when I urged her to give me at least some tangible reason as to why she would not marry me. She contented herself and maddened me by reflecting in a kind of monotone: "I love you, Karl! and am yours, but I cannot marry you."
The burden of the ghastly monotone was in her brain, her tired heart kept beating out the cadence that her little slippered feet echoed along the gravel War! war! At the foot of the steps which skirted the terrace she met her brother and Lorraine watching the groom rubbing down the messengers' horses. A lantern, glimmering on the ground, shed a sickly light under their eyes.
A withered creature with snaky, tangled hair, toothless gums, eyes that burned like embers, and a haunched, shrivelled figure, stood gesticulating and crooning over a low monotone in the centre of the lodge.
