Susie turned away to set a vase straight. "He hasn't any name," she said, not suddenly, but in a dull, toneless voice. "He hasn't been christened yet." "Oh, but you must have him christened," said Celia, speaking lightly, to conceal the embarrassment of the subject. "Haven't you decided on a name for him yet?" Susie shook her head. "What does it matter?" she asked, in a whisper.
And when they came came and talked wise and technical jargon about being endlessly enveloped in a toneless sound, about being drowned in an overwhelming sea of blue, pure and singing, and a moment later dropped into pale amethyst which in turn deepens to a threatening purple then plunges you into a turmoil of passionate red, always and constantly swirling and whirling and twisting and untwisting, gliding, approaching and retreating in that haunted and inexplicable color space
"He cherishes some theory," said Mr. Greenough in his most toneless voice, "that a newspaper ought to be conducted solely in the interests of people like himself." "Is there any reason why I should go chasing around to see him?" "That's as you choose. He doesn't see reporters often. Perhaps it would be as well." "His outfit are after the police," explained Mallory. "That's what he wants you for.
Hayden felt as if his heart had stopped beating for a moment and then begun again with slow and suffocating throbs. Perhaps Ydo saw or guessed something of his emotion, for she again repeated reassuringly: "It will be all right now within a few hours. You Will see." "It's going to be dropped," he said in a dull, toneless voice.
It was queer with you away! Jamison and Bell tied themselves in chairs and spliced tape. Johnny, of course" his voice was very carefully toneless "wouldn't do anything useful. I was space-sick a lot of the time. But I did help Alicia figure out what to say on the communicator. There must be hundreds of calls backed up for you to take." "Good!" said Cochrane. "I'll go take some of them.
Put it that way if you like, Dixon said. He had a quiet toneless voice and urbane manners and on a finger of his plump clean hand he displayed at moments a signet ring. As they crossed the hall a man of dwarfish stature came towards them. Under the dome of his tiny hat his unshaven face began to smile with pleasure and he was heard to murmur. The eyes were melancholy as those of a monkey.
She spoke only the necessary word, came and went with feline softness, performed her duties with the precision of a mechanism. Her stillness had a curious quality of detachment; she seemed held in a spell, her eye, suddenly encountered, blank and vacant; even her voice was toneless. She reacted to nothing that went on around her. All her vitality had withdrawn to feed the inner flame.
I'm not talking about your Scripture prize. Do you recollect the Bosher incident?" I did, indeed. It was one of the high spots of my youth. "Major-General Sir Wilfred Bosher came to distribute the prizes at that school," proceeded Gussie in a dull, toneless voice. "He dropped a book. He stooped to pick it up. And, as he stooped, his trousers split up the back." "How we roared!"
For a time she was so dazed, so emotionally exhausted by the event of the last hour, that she stood on, fixed, unseeing, one hand pressed against her side as if she stopped with it the mouth of a wound. Occasionally she drew a long, sharp breath as the dying sometimes breathe. "It all rests with Warren," she said presently, half-aloud, and in a toneless, passive voice.
Aaron could not help watching the naked-seeming arch of her foot. It was as if she were dusted with dark gold-dust upon her marvellous nudity. She must have seen his face, seen that he was ebloui. "You brought the flute?" she said, in that toneless, melancholy, unstriving voice of hers. Her voice alone was the same: direct and bare and quiet. "Yes."
