I am sure you must have been struck by his awkward look and abrupt manner, and the uncouthness of a voice which I heard to be wholly unmodulated as I stood here." "Certainly, he is not like Mr. Knightley. He has not such a fine air and way of walking as Mr. Knightley. I see the difference plain enough. But Mr. Knightley is so very fine a man!" "Mr.
She lifted his glass, sipped a little, and, looking over it at him: "I drink to our doubts concerning each other: may nothing ever occur to disturb them." Her cheeks had begun to burn, her eyes were too bright, her voice unmodulated. "Whether or not you ever again take the trouble to ask me to trust you in that way," she said, "I'll tell you now why I don't and why I never could. It may amuse you.
But to Margaret's quiet voice and gentle heart, anything like shriek or battle-cry was foreign enough, so with even tone, and unmodulated by any shade of passion, she read the cry, "To arms! They come! The Greek! The Greek!" Nor was her voice to be moved from its gentle, monotonous flow even by the battle-cry of Bozzaris, "Strike! till the last armed foe expires!"
Of the one there was only the memory of an unmodulated voice and oppressive perfume; in truth, of the other there was not much more just a pair of big, blue-gray, honest eyes, that somehow stared at him fearlessly, and withal with a great sweetness. Crane suddenly chuckled in dry disapprobation of himself. Grotesquely enough, all at once he remembered that he was forty that very day forty.

His complexion was scarcely human; his features were coarse, and strangely discordant and disjointed from each other. His lips were thick, and the tone of his voice broad and unmodulated.
I was just reflecting in truth that this interminable board would deprive me of one, when the guest next me, dear woman she was Miss Poyle, the vicar's sister, a robust, unmodulated person had the happy inspiration and the unusual courage to address herself across it to Vereker, who was opposite, but not directly, so that when he replied they were both leaning forward.

Her father would have spared her, but Nelly would not hear of that and he let her have her way. She told Robin everything in a dull, unmodulated voice, with a dead-tiredness in it which revealed her unhappiness more eloquently than words could have done. She stood by the mantel-shelf, holding one hand over her eyes while she told him. When she had finished there was a momentary silence.
"The women oh, the women!" he wailed, and interrupted himself to describe a heavy-footed German Princess who had marched past his treasures as if she were inspecting a cavalry regiment, applying an unmodulated Mugneeficent to everything from the engraved gems to the Hercules torso. "Not that she was half as bad as the other kind," he added, as if with a last effort at optimism.
