"Touchez-la, then," said Bellegarde, putting out his hand. "It's a bargain: I accept you; I espouse your cause. It's because I like you, in a great measure; but that is not the only reason!" And he stood holding Newman's hand and looking at him askance. "What is the other one?" "I am in the Opposition. I dislike some one else." "Your brother?" asked Newman, in his unmodulated voice.
Martha thought that perhaps she had been a little hard on Cora, "the time she give her the tongue-lashin' for stumblin' over the first lines of her piece, that evenin' of the Sund'-School ent'tainment. Martha could see her now, as she stood then, announcing to the assembled multitude in a high, unmodulated treble: "It was the t-time when l-lilies bub-blow"
Her voice was even and unmodulated, not too friendly and not too cold. "I am, and I am not. I am unspeakably the worse in that I displeased you. Will you forgive me?" "I will forgive you," in the same tone. "Do you mean it? Do you mean you will forgive me what I said to you that the other night?" "I did not say that," she answered, a little weariness sounding with the words. Claudius's face fell.
He was startled at the deep sound of his own voice as he uttered these words; but he had not been speaking for some time, and his voice came forth strong and unmodulated. "True, sir; most true," said Mr Hickson, bowing. "I honour you for the observation."
His flight is solid and impetuous, without any intermission of wing-beats, one homogeneous buzz like that of a laden bee on its way home. And while thus buzzing freely from fall to fall, he is frequently heard giving utterance to a long outdrawn train of unmodulated notes, in no way connected with his song, but corresponding closely with his flight in sustained vigor.
Septimus lit the half-smoked pipe of the night before that lay on the coverlet, and becoming aware of Wiggleswick, disturbed his contemplation of nature by asking him if he had ever been married. "What?" asked Wiggleswick in the unmodulated tone of the deaf. "Have you ever been married, Wiggleswick?" "Heaps of times," said the old man. "Dear me," said Septimus. "Did you commit bigamy?" "Bigamy?

The old-fashioned criticism of opera as such, based on the indisputable fact that, however excited people may be, they do not in real life express themselves in song, but in unmodulated speech, is not now very often heard.
The school considered itself especially refined and select, but was in fact interestingly vulgar. The inordinately rich little girls, who had most of them pretty and spiritual or pretty and piquant faces, ate a great many bon bons and chattered a great deal in high unmodulated voices about the parties their sisters and other relatives went to and the dresses they wore.
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.
He had approached the great house which Byng had built for himself with some trepidation; for though Byng came of people whose names counted for a good deal in the north of England, still, in newly acquired fortunes made suddenly in new lands there was something that coarsened taste an unmodulated, if not a garish, elegance which "hit you in the eye," as he had put it to himself.
