There is nothing to frighten you, my passion-flower. If you had only come to me sooner it would have made it easier for you. But now there is no time." The soothing note in his voice sounded oddly strained, as though an undernote of fever throbbed below it. "You're not going to fail me," he urged softly. "Think how much it means to you to me! And there is only half an hour left, dear.
His name had been uttered in no stern or menacing tone; rather its syllables had been pitched in a low and guarded key, with an undernote of raillery and cordiality.
Dust lay thick along the road that led through the very heart of the native quarter of Mangadone; dust raised into a misty haze which hung in the air and actually introduced a light undernote of red into the effect.
Her tone was chastened, but there was an undernote of warning. "I've been free so long that I kind of forget I'm under extradition." A wave of contrition swept over his ill-humor as her slim-clad figure preceded him out to the waiting motor. She had been coolly insubordinate, of course, but she was young and very much alone in a strange environment.
The tables were so arranged that one heard nothing of the clatter of crockery. The murmur of voices came like a pleasant undernote.

He leaned slightly across the table.
"You're late," said the violinist, speaking to Milo with that ever-smiling suavity which Gavin recalled from the night before, and ignoring Gavin entirely "You've kept me waiting."

Keith's eyes had become grim and inscrutable, and his mouth had settled into a hard, straight line.
It seemed strange to him, even at that moment, that he should hear his own voice amid such a roar of cannon and rifles. But it was an undernote, and he heard with equal ease the sergeant's reply: "It ain't decided yet, Mr. Mason, but we've got to fight as we never fought before."
That is, it seemed to, but there was an undernote of irritation in Dunk's voice and he regarded Andy with rather a strange look as they sat in the room preparatory to going to bed. "What did you and she find to talk about so much?" asked Dunk, suspiciously. "I brought Kittie Martin around for you." "So I imagined." "Yet nearly all the time you kept talking to Alice Jordan.
Health was by no means a desideratum in the set to which he was striving to belong. He looked through his eyeglass at his brother and groaned. "Really, Andrew," he said calmly, but with an undernote of anger trembling in his tone, "I am surprised to see you like this! You might, I think, have had a little more consideration.
