She smiled into the mouth-piece. "You think, then, that a woman is incapable of the same feeling?" "Oh, no, not incapable, but I thought that, perhaps " "You think I don't feel quite as you do is that it?" "Yes. I don't see how it is possible!" "I am glad you think it is my heart that's at fault, instead of my brain." "No, no, not at fault! I can't explain here. I'll wait till I see you."
Let me be the mouth-piece of all our party in conveying to you our most hearty expressions of gratitude for the noble manner in which you have aided us in our great strait.

"Sir," said Lady Catharine, struggling to gain self-control, and in spite of herself softened by this appeal, "you speak well." "If I do, 'tis but because I am the mouth-piece of a man who all his life has sought to speak the truth; who has sought yes, I say to you even now, Lady Catharine who has sought always to live the truth.

With them Jud's nod alone was sufficient. They were still grouped around the office awaiting their turn. In the faces of some were shrewdness, cunning, hypocrisy.
"He affected great sanctity; did not engage in the secular duties of war or hunting; was seldom in public; devoted most of his time to fasting, the interpretation of dreams, and offering sacrifices to spiritual powers; pretended to see into futurity and to foretell events, and announced himself to be the mouth-piece of God."
It was two days after the occurrence of these incidents that the old woman was seated by Duncan's bedside, gazing through her tortoise-shell glasses at the well-thumbed Bible, when her patient, who had been very restless, looked up and spoke.
