I was passing through the dressing-room, when I saw the bedroom door was half opened, and a voice I scarcely recognised it as Miss Darrell's, it was so different from her usual low, toneless voice exclaimed angrily, 'You forget yourself strangely, Leah! one would think you were the mistress and I the maid, to hear you speaking to me. 'I can't help that, Miss Etta, returned the woman insolently.
With a quickening heartbeat she awaited an outburst, a retort that would end everything. But he answered quietly, in the same toneless voice: "No, I am not married." She caught at the loop-hole it seemed to offer. "If there is no bar " she began eagerly, but he cut her short. "I have done with all that sort of thing," he said harshly. "Why?" she persisted, with a doggedness that matched his own.
The Wyverns had not been able to turn their power against one injured Throg by their own accounting how could they possibly cope with well-armed and alert aliens in the field? "You die slow " The Throg officer clicked, and the emotionless, toneless translation was all the more daunting for that lack of color. "Your people come see "
She slammed the door shut; and the sweet new thing that had stirred in the depths of her nature fell back asleep or dead. "I'm going down now," she said, in a toneless voice. "Don't come with me. I never want to speak to you again."
The young woman approached, with an air of timidity, of passive obedience, which was as pathetic as her eyes. "Well, how is the baby, Susie?" asked her ladyship. "He is quite well, now, my lady," replied the girl, in a low, toneless voice. "That's right. I thought he'd soon pull round; it's the wonderful air. Let me look at him."
The idea occurred to Sylvia that he might be ill, and she advanced to help him. As he saw her stoop to pick them up, he said in French, in a toneless voice, very indifferently: "Don't give yourself the trouble. They are of no value. I carry them only to make the Library attendants think I am a bona-fide reader. I go there to sleep because I have no other roof."
When I had ended, he said in the same toneless way: "You have believed that all these years?" "I have done my best not to believe it. The last twelve months have disproved it." He shook his head. "They haven't. Nothing I can do in this world can disprove it. What that man said was true." "True?" I drew a deep breath and stared at him hard. His eyes met mine.
Aghast, they had perceived the same awful truth. You sent her away for that? So they stood looking down this dark gulf, and the light of anger died. In a toneless voice: "We mustn't let Cousin Emelene and Alys hear us quarreling," said George. And Genevieve answered, "They've gone down to breakfast." The two ladies were seated at table.
You must get the letter, if only for your own peace of mind. He heard his wife hesitate as she turned. He heard a sob. And once more he waited. 'I have brought the letter, came the low toneless voice again. 'Have you opened it? There was a rustle of paper. 'Are the letters there underlined three times "Y.S.O.A."? 'The letters are there. 'And the date of the month is underneath, "April 3rd."
And I'm about done. Dorothy, my dear, it's high time you returned to your father's protection. Where's that gladstone bag?" "In my traveling bag," the girl told him in a toneless voice. "Then you may bring it along. You may also say good night to the kind gentlemen." Dorothy did not move; her pallor grew more intense and Kirkwood saw her knuckles tighten beneath the gloves.
