On the green background of the foliage the fireflies glowed and flickered. There was no strident steam whistle from factory or train to assault the ear, no rumble of passing cabs or street cars. Far away, in some distant part of the straggling town, a sweet-toned bell sounded the hour of an evening church service. "To see you is a breath from the past, Henry," said Mrs. Treadwell.
Her laugh ran on in a little silver stream, and people plodding up and down the sidewalks turned and laughed in sheer sympathy. "It feels so good to get back!" Gloria cried. "As if I had been a long way off. Why doesn't somebody point out the 'sights'? That big stone building, now " "The library," said Uncle Em, and again Gloria's sweet-toned laugh rippled out. "I don't care, it looks different!
With a bound he was on his feet, raised the window and heard the sweet-toned bell. He understood its meaning, that the redcoats were coming. Quickly putting on his clothes, he seized the powder-horn and bullet-pouch which his father carried at Louisburg. "You must eat something, Roger, before you go," said his mother.
"Often of a spring morning," it said at the top of page twenty-one, "as you wander through the fields, you will hear the sweet-toned, carelessly flowing warble of the purple finch linnet. When you are older you must read all about him in Mr. Alexander Worple's wonderful book American Birds." You see. A boost for the uncle right away.
Under my fingers was the sweet-toned organ of the church, on my lips the yearning plaint of an ancient Bengali devotee who had searched for eternal solace: In this world, Mother, none can love me; In this world they do not know love divine.

"Youth must with time decay, Aileen aroon, Beauty must fade away, Aileen aroon " "Don't, dear! please "
Out of the wood burst forth a concert of song-birds, amid which the notes of the sweet-toned mocking-bird could be especially distinguished. To Carlos it was no novelty, nor was it to most of our companions; but Lejoillie and I were delighted. We had as yet discovered no trace of our friend. The few woodmen we met had seen nothing of him.
"The carillons," replied Lambert. "They are trying the bells in the chapel of yonder village. Ah! Ben, you should hear the chimes of the 'New Church' at Delft. They are superb nearly five hundred sweet-toned bells, and on of the best carillonneurs of Holland to play upon them. Hard work, though. They say the fellow often has to go to bed from positive exhaustion, after his performances.
I have the manner of my grandmother and her charming voice, which becomes falsetto when forced, but is a sweet-toned chest voice at the ordinary pitch of a quiet talk. I feel as if I had left the convent to-day for the first time. For society I do not yet exist; I am unknown to it. What a ravishing moment!

"You will allow me," she said with a sweet-toned voice, "to rest here under the portico for a moment; after which I should wish to speak to Herr Balthasar."
