"I said that Christine Daae's abductor was the Angel of Music, ALIAS the Opera ghost, and that the real name was ..." "Hush! ... And did he believe you?" "No." "He attached no importance to what you said?" "No." "He took you for a bit of a madman?" "Yes."
"Nodwar k'chee Toquis, I see little 'Fraid One'" he said, unconsciously dropping into his own dialect, which is the softest speech in the world, so soft that wild things are not disturbed when they hear it, thinking it only a louder sough of the pines or a softer tunking of ripples on the rocks.

Lady Groombridge's maid" in a tone of deep respect "isn't one to be disturbed, and the scullerymaid won't get to bed till one in the morning: this girl being ill it gives her double work." Molly instantly rose to the situation. She knew of better appliances than the softest hot-water bottles, and soon after her noiseless entrance into the housemaid's attic the pain had been relieved.
