The house in Russell Square, for example, with its noble rooms, and the magnolia-tree in the garden, and the sweet-voiced piano, and the sound of feet coming down the corridors, and other properties of size and romance had they any existence? Yet why should Mrs. Alardyce live all alone in this gigantic mansion, and, if she did not live alone, with whom did she live?
"What is wanted of me again?" she asked, "and shall I have rest only in the grave?" "Forgive me, madame," said the sweet-voiced unknown, "but I am wishing to know " "Silence!" said the sibyl, in a solemn voice. "I will not know your affairs.
If I am successful in convincing that North Queensland is neither a burning fiery furnace nor yet a sweltering steamy swamp; that the country is not completely saturated with malaria; that there are vast areas which no drought can tinge with grey or brown, where there are never-failing streams, where cool fresh water trickles among the shale and shattered coral on the beaches, where sweet-voiced birds sport and resplendent butterflies flicker, then these writings will have been to some purpose.
For no stranger is your house, O Thrasyboulos, to pleasant shouts of triumph, neither to sweet-voiced songs.

By a far throw of the quoit may I hurl even so far as did Xenokrates surpass all men in the sweetness of his spirit.
The great certainty of the hour was Iris the blue-eyed, smiling divinity who had come into his life waiting for him down there beyond the trees, waiting to welcome him with a sweet-voiced greeting; and he knew, with a fierce devouring joy, that her cheek would not pale nor her lip tremble when he announced that at least another sun must set before the expected relief reached them.
"I wish I could go west, or south, or somewhere. What a box women are put into, measured for it, and put in young; if we go anywhere it's in a box, veiled and pinioned and shut in by disabilities. Father, I should like to break things and get loose!" What a sweet-voiced little innocent, it was to be sure.
"Arjuna continued, 'Then while returning, I happened to descry a mighty unearthly city, moving at will, and having the effulgence of fire or the sun. And that city contained various trees composed of gems, and sweet-voiced feathered ones. And it was made of all sorts of jewels and was unearthly, and of wonderful appearance.
Lady-like, sweet-voiced, unruffled, well informed, and always appropriately dressed, she was eminently fitted to be "the first lady in the land," and she quietly yet firmly repelled any patronizing attempts to direct her movements. She had a natural aversion to publicity, but was anxious to entertain the thousands who flocked to the White House.
For my part, I do not mean to answer to the call of the rope to-morrow." "What! not ring on Christmas Day!" exclaimed all the bells together. "No, I don't. You may exclaim as much as you please; but, if you had common sympathy, you would see in a moment how weary I am of singing this one high tone." "But we all have to give our notes," responded a low, sweet-voiced bell.
Now and again one will see a flock of English sparrows, and the sweet-voiced song-sparrow endeavors to make up for the vulgarity of its English cousin by the delicate softness of its peculiar song. The mountain song-sparrow, western lark, western chipping-fox, gold-finch, and house- and cassin-finches are seen.
