Still, if Mr. Chillingly's talk belies his actions, he may be a good man, but he is a very affected one." CECILIA. "Have I not heard you say that there are persons so natural that they seem affected to those who do not understand them?" Mrs. Campion raised her eyes to Cecilia's face, dropped them again over her work, and said, in grave undertones, "Take care, Cecilia." "Take care of what?"
This gang, by immemorial usage, was composed of the colored servants, and I can see now that row of black faces, with grinning ivories, as they yo-ho'd in undertones together, "lighting forward the messenger."
Then they discoursed on love for a time, and Alderman Dunstable, turning back to the shy, blond young man and speaking in undertones of the utmost clearness, gave a brief and confidential account of an unfounded rumor of the bifurcation of the affections of Blinders that had led to a situation of some unpleasantness upon the Borough Council.
In vain he pleaded, in caressing undertones, that she should ride with him. Honora had never been on a horse, but she did not tell him so. If she would but drive, or walk-only a little way he would promise faithfully not to forget himself. Honora intimated that the period of his probation had not yet expired.

Never do, Jane ... find out by themselves.... She won't be home till late to-night ... some grand affair. But he ... though of course I'm sorry to have to." The moment Miss Royle was well away, Jane had a plan.
