But I fancy the Colonel must have been tone deaf. "Don't you make phrases for me!" he snorted; "you keep 'em for your menagerie Think! BUT I FANCY THE COLONEL MUST HAVE BEEN TONE DEAF DON'T YOU MAKE PHRASES FOR ME HE SNORTED YOU KEEP EM FOR YOUR MENAGERIE THINK
h which he said this left no doubt that the Colonel spoke his honest opinion. "Attractive," said his daughter patiently, "Mr. Charteris is very, very clever. Mr. Kennaston says literature suffered a considerable loss when he began to write for the magazines." And now that Margaret has spoken, permit me to call your attention to her voice. Mellow and suave and of astonishing volume was Margaret's voice; it came not from the back of her throat, as most of our women's voices do, but from her chest; and I protest it had the timbre of a violin. Men, hearing her voice for the first time, were wont to stare at her a little and afterward to close their hands slowly, for always its modulations had the tonic sadness of distant music, and it thrilled you to much the same magnanimity and yearning, cloudily conceived; and yet you could not but smile in spite of yourself at the quaint emphasis fluttering through her speech and pouncing for the most part on the unlikeliest word in the whole sentence. ND THE EMPHASIS WITH WHICH HE SAID THIS LEFT NO DOUBT THAT THE COLONEL SPOKE HIS HONEST OPINION ATTRACTIVE SAID HIS DAUGHTER PATIENTLY MISTER CHARTREY IS VERY VERY CLEVER MISTER CONNASTON SAYS LITERATURE SUFFERED A CONSIDERABLE LOSS WHEN HE BEGAN TO WRITE FOR THE MAGAZINES AND NOW THAT MARGARET HAS SPOKEN PERMIT ME TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO HER VOICE MELLOW AND SUAVE AND OF ASTONISHING VOLUME WAS MARGARET'S VOICE IT CAME NOT FROM THE BACK OF HER THROAT AS MOST OF OUR WOMEN'S VOICES DO BUT FROM HER CHEST AND I PROTEST TO HAD THE TIMBRE OF A VIOLIN MEN HEARING HER VOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME WERE WONT TO STARE AT HER A LITTLE AND AFTERWARD TO CLOSE THEIR HANDS SLOWLY FOR ALWAYS ITS MODULATIONS HAD THE TONIC SADNESS OF DISTANT MUSIC AND IT THRILLED YOU TO MUCH THE SAME MAGNANIMITY AND YEARNING CLOUDILY CONCEIVED AND YET YOU COULD NOT BUT SMILE IN SPITE OF YOURSELF AT THE QUAINT EMPHASIS FLUTTERING THROUGH HER SPEECH AND POUNCING FOR THE MOST PART ON THE UNLIKELIEST WORD IN THE WHOLE SENTENCE
