Keane's pleasant, well-modulated voice. "The Peak shows splendidly from this window." "The place aren't no great thing, sir," said Miss Hepsy. "Here's Josh." She opened the door, and Uncle Josh appeared on the threshold in his working garb, grimy and dust-stained, as he had come from repairing the mill. He pulled his hair to the minister, and bowed awkwardly to Mr. Keane.
The ex-official could hear little, but he had cultivated the habit of talking constantly and well. There were some voices, however, which he could hear more distinctly than others, and Lord Windlehurst's was one of them clear, well-modulated, and penetrating. Sipping brandy and water, Lord Windlehurst gave his latest quip.
He broke it or intensified it indeed by repeating from The Gypsy, in a low and remarkably well-modulated voice, "Do you know Sometimes when we sit silent, and the air Breathes gently on us from the orange trees, It seems that with the whisper of a word Our souls must shrink, yet poorer, more apart. Is it not so? Do you know the answer?" he asked, never once taking away his eyes.
The rhythmical and, if I may so say, well-modulated undulation of the back in our ladies of Circular rank is envied and imitated by the wife of a common Equilateral, who can achieve nothing beyond a mere monotonous swing, like the ticking of a pendulum; and the regular tick of the Equilateral is no less admired and copied by the wife of the progressive and aspiring Isosceles, in the females of whose family no "back-motion" of any kind has become as yet a necessity of life.
Children, of course, only want description when it is really a part of the story, as when Tom crosses the moor, descends Lewthwaite Crag, or travels from brook to river and from river to sea. As to how a story should be told, opinions differ. It must be well told with a well-modulated voice and with slight but effective gesture.
The church was crowded the day old Billy was buried, for a funeral in Glendow was always an important event. Parson John was clad in his simple robes of office and read the Burial Service in a resonant, well-modulated voice. Beholding such nobleness, gentleness and dignity of his face and bearing, only the most suspicious could associate him with any underhanded dealing.
Something in the tone of the well-modulated voice, the correct speech, the courtly manner, thrilled the girl strangely. It was all so unexpected so out of place, here in the wild. She felt the warm colour mount to her face. "Who are you?" she asked abruptly. "I am Pierre Lapierre," answered the man in the same low voice.
Evidently the occupant of the next chair was not a football enthusiast, for, although she bowed her acknowledgment, her face showed that the name carried no significance. "I understood you to tell the purser your name was Locke," said she, in a very low-pitched, well-modulated voice. "I couldn't help overhearing." "But it isn't really, it's Anthony.
Thus then the linguistic opinions and tendencies of this epoch are everywhere divergent; by the side of the old-fashioned poetry of Lucretius appears the thoroughly modern poetry of Catullus, by the side of Cicero's well-modulated period stands the sentence of Varro intentionally disdaining all subdivision. In this field likewise is mirrored the distraction of the age.
While he was thus occupied his hand happened to touch the tablet that hung by a silver chain from the Laureate's belt, he glanced at it, . . it was covered with fine writing, and turning it more toward the light, he soon made out four stanzas, perfectly rhymed and smoothly flowing as a well-modulated harmony.
