224

Speak like a teacher addressing a room of inattentive students.

Is it because you've suspected?"

106

1069_133699_000022_000003

225

Speak like a teenager who has just been grounded.

"What did you say about me?" Isabel asked.

109

1069_133699_000036_000000

226

Speak like a teenager who has just been grounded.

Isabel offered no answer to this assertion, which her companion made with an air of great confidence.

109

1069_133699_000045_000001

227

Speak like a teenager who has just been grounded.

He is a man of high, bold action.

109

1069_133699_000057_000002

228

Speak with the terror of someone who just saw a ghost.

"It may not matter to him, but it matters to one's self."

112

1069_133699_000061_000000

229

Speak with the terror of someone who just saw a ghost.

"I hope he'll hate me then," said Isabel.

112

1069_133699_000064_000000

230

Speak with the terror of someone who just saw a ghost.

This document proved short and may be given entire.

112

1069_133699_000066_000012

231

Speak with the softness of a mother lulling her baby to sleep.

No, you are not, and you never will be, arbitrary or capricious.

115

1069_133699_000067_000006

232

Speak with the softness of a mother lulling her baby to sleep.

"I said you were on the whole the finest creature I know."

115

1069_133699_000037_000000

233

Speak with the softness of a mother lulling her baby to sleep.

I see his face now, and his earnest absorbed look while I talked.

115

1069_133699_000039_000001

234

Speak like a child who has just lost a favorite toy.

I never saw an ugly man look so handsome."

116

1069_133699_000039_000002

235

Speak like a child who has just lost a favorite toy.

"It's not a grand passion; I'm very sure it's not that."

116

1069_133699_000042_000000

236

Speak like a child who has just lost a favorite toy.

"I shall say it better to mr Goodwood himself."

116

1069_133699_000044_000001

237

Speak as a traffic police officer giving out a ticket.

"Faithless?

117

1069_133699_000019_000000

238

Speak as a traffic police officer giving out a ticket.

Faithless to you, Henrietta?"

117

1069_133699_000019_000001

239

Speak as a traffic police officer giving out a ticket.

"No, that would be a great pain; but it's not that."

117

1069_133699_000020_000000

240

Speak as you talk to an elderly friend on the phone.

"Faithless to my country then?"

118

1069_133699_000021_000000

241

Speak as you talk to an elderly friend on the phone.

"Ah, that I hope will never be.

118

1069_133699_000022_000000

242

Speak as you talk to an elderly friend on the phone.

You've never asked me what it is.

118

1069_133699_000022_000002

243

Speak as you sing along a song you love.

"Ah, what it matters to me-that's not what we're discussing," said Isabel with a cold smile.

119

1069_133699_000062_000000

244

Speak as you sing along a song you love.

This time her companion was grave.

119

1069_133699_000063_000000

245

Speak as you sing along a song you love.

"Well, I don't care; you have changed.

119

1069_133699_000063_000001

246

Speak as a doctor delivering bad news.

You're not the girl you were a few short weeks ago, and mr Goodwood will see it.

121

1069_133699_000063_000002

247

Speak as a doctor delivering bad news.

I expect him here any day."

121

1069_133699_000063_000003

248

Speak as a doctor delivering bad news.

You told me that I'm not disagreeable to you, and I believe it; for I don't see why that should be.

121

1069_133699_000067_000008

249

Speak like a child telling a funny story.

If I like this country at present it is only because it holds you.

123

1069_133699_000067_000010

250

Speak like a child telling a funny story.

I have been to England before, but have never enjoyed it much.

123

1069_133699_000067_000011

251

Speak like a child telling a funny story.

This at present is the dearest wish of yours faithfully,

123

1069_133699_000067_000013

252

Speak as a doctor delivering good news.

CASPAR GOODWOOD.

126

1069_133699_000068_000000

253

Speak as a doctor delivering good news.

Looking up, however, as she mechanically folded it she saw Lord Warburton standing before her.

126

1069_133699_000069_000001

254

Speak as a doctor delivering good news.

"I like to be treated as an American lady."

126

1069_133699_000006_000001

255

Speak like a heartbroken person sharing their story with a trusted friend.

"They're the companions of freemen," Henrietta retorted.

131

1069_133699_000008_000000

256

Speak like a heartbroken person sharing their story with a trusted friend.

"They're the companions of their servants-the Irish chambermaid and the negro waiter.

131

1069_133699_000009_000000

257

Speak like a heartbroken person sharing their story with a trusted friend.

They share their work."

131

1069_133699_000009_000001

258

Speak as if pleading for forgiveness.

"Do you call the domestics in an American household 'slaves'?" Miss Stackpole enquired.

134

1069_133699_000010_000000

259

Speak as if pleading for forgiveness.

"If that's the way you desire to treat them, no wonder you don't like America."

134

1069_133699_000010_000001

260

Speak as if pleading for forgiveness.

"He'll find you changed," the latter pursued.

134

1069_133699_000045_000002

261

Speak like a radio host greeting the morning listeners.

"Very likely.

135

1069_133699_000046_000000

262

Speak like a radio host greeting the morning listeners.

I'm affected by everything."

135

1069_133699_000046_000001

263

Speak like a radio host greeting the morning listeners.

Isabel failed even to smile back and in a moment she said: "Did he ask you to speak to me?"

135

1069_133699_000048_000000

264

Speak as if wanting to provoke an argument.

But his eyes asked it-and his handshake, when he bade me good bye."

136

1069_133699_000049_000001

265

Speak as if wanting to provoke an argument.

I had a good deal of talk with him; he has come after you."

136

1069_133699_000031_000001

266

Speak as if wanting to provoke an argument.

"Did he tell you so?"

136

1069_133699_000032_000000

267

Speak like a barista taking a customer's order.

Isabel waited.

138

1069_133699_000034_000000

268

Speak like a barista taking a customer's order.

At the mention of mr Goodwood's name she had turned a little pale.

138

1069_133699_000034_000001

269

Speak like a barista taking a customer's order.

"I'm very sorry you did that," she observed at last.

138

1069_133699_000034_000002

270

Speak as if wanting to be heard by someone far away.

I could have talked a long time to such a listener; he was so quiet, so intense; he drank it all in."

141

1069_133699_000035_000001

271

Speak as if wanting to be heard by someone far away.

"Suspected what?

141

1069_133699_000023_000000

272

Speak as if wanting to be heard by someone far away.

As a rule I don't think I suspect," said Isabel.

141

1069_133699_000023_000001

273

Speak with the exhaustion of a parent trying to get a stubborn child to bed.

"I remember now that phrase in your letter, but I confess I had forgotten it.

142

1069_133699_000024_000000

274

Speak with the exhaustion of a parent trying to get a stubborn child to bed.

What have you to tell me?"

142

1069_133699_000024_000001

275

Speak with the exhaustion of a parent trying to get a stubborn child to bed.

Henrietta looked disappointed, and her steady gaze betrayed it. "You don't ask that right-as if you thought it important.

142

1069_133699_000025_000000

276

Speak with the soothing cadence of a meditation guide leading a peaceful practice.

You're changed-you're thinking of other things."

143

1069_133699_000025_000001

277

Speak with the soothing cadence of a meditation guide leading a peaceful practice.

"I believe you hope it about as much as I believe him capable of it."

143

1069_133699_000065_000000

278

Speak with the soothing cadence of a meditation guide leading a peaceful practice.

Her suspense indeed was dissipated the second day.

143

1069_133699_000066_000004

279

Speak with the casual confidence of a seasoned stand-up comedian performing on stage.

"Thank you for doing so." And Isabel turned away.

144

1069_133699_000050_000000

280

Speak with the casual confidence of a seasoned stand-up comedian performing on stage.

"Yes, you're changed; you've got new ideas over here," her friend continued.

144

1069_133699_000051_000000

281

Speak with the casual confidence of a seasoned stand-up comedian performing on stage.

"I hope so," said Isabel; "one should get as many new ideas as possible."

144

1069_133699_000052_000000

282

Speak with the timidity of a shy child asking a teacher for help.

"Yes; but they shouldn't interfere with the old ones when the old ones have been the right ones."

146

1069_133699_000053_000000

283

Speak with the timidity of a shy child asking a teacher for help.

Isabel turned about again.

146

1069_133699_000054_000000

284

Speak with the timidity of a shy child asking a teacher for help.

"If you mean that I had any idea with regard to mr Goodwood-!" But she faltered before her friend's implacable glitter.

146

1069_133699_000054_000001

285

Speak with the somber reverence of a priest delivering a funeral eulogy.

We shall never get on together therefore, and there's no use trying."

149

1069_133699_000003_000008

286

Speak with the somber reverence of a priest delivering a funeral eulogy.

This contribution to the discussion, however, Miss Stackpole rejected with scorn.

149

1069_133699_000004_000003

287

Speak with the somber reverence of a priest delivering a funeral eulogy.

Middling indeed!

149

1069_133699_000004_000004

288

Speak as a rebellious punk rocker railing against authority and societal norms.

If they were not the best in the world they were the worst, but there was nothing middling about an American hotel.

150

1069_133699_000004_000005

289

Speak as a rebellious punk rocker railing against authority and societal norms.

"I don't know what you mean," Henrietta replied.

150

1069_133699_000006_000000

290

Speak as a rebellious punk rocker railing against authority and societal norms.

"They're very bad in America, but I've five perfect ones in Florence."

150

1069_133699_000011_000001

291

Speak with the elegant poise of a sophisticated aristocrat at a formal ball.

"Should you like me better if I were your butler, dear?" her husband asked.

151

1069_133699_000014_000000

292

Speak with the elegant poise of a sophisticated aristocrat at a formal ball.

"I don't think I should: you wouldn't at all have the tenue."

151

1069_133699_000015_000000

293

Speak with the elegant poise of a sophisticated aristocrat at a formal ball.

"The companions of freemen-I like that, Miss Stackpole," said Ralph. "It's a beautiful description."

151

1069_133699_000016_000000

294

Speak like you're giving directions to lost travelers in a bustling city.

And this was the only reward that Ralph got for his compliment.

152

1069_133699_000018_000000

295

Speak like you're giving directions to lost travelers in a bustling city.

I protested against it. You in fact appeared to accept my protest and to admit that I had the right on my side.

152

1069_133699_000067_000002

296

Speak like you're giving directions to lost travelers in a bustling city.

"Ah, you do care for him!" her visitor rang out.

152

1069_133699_000059_000000

297

Speak like you're introducing the main act at a music festival.

"Whatever he does will always be right," Isabel repeated.

153

1069_133699_000060_000000

298

Speak like you're introducing the main act at a music festival.

"When a man's of that infallible mould what does it matter to him what one feels?"

153

1069_133699_000060_000001

299

Speak like you're introducing the main act at a music festival.

This was not, as it may seem, merely a theory tinged with sarcasm.

153

1069_133709_000043_000029
