1 The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain.
2 "They're such beautiful shirts," she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds.
3 "We haven't met for many years," said Daisy, her voice as matter-of-fact as it could ever be.
4 As if his absence quickened something within her Daisy leaned forward again, her voice glowing and singing.
5 The instant her voice broke off, ceasing to compel my attention, my belief, I felt the basic insincerity of what she had said.
6 When the melody rose, her voice broke up sweetly, following it, in a way contralto voices have, and each change tipped out a little of her warm human magic upon the air.
7 Usually her voice came over the wire as something fresh and cool as if a divot from a green golf links had come sailing in at the office window but this morning it seemed harsh and dry.
8 For a moment the last sunshine fell with romantic affection upon her glowing face; her voice compelled me forward breathlessly as I listened--then the glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret like children leaving a pleasant street at dusk.

10 Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth--but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion, a whispered "Listen," a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since and that there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next hour.
