can never approve of
such a piece of injustice. And I have my reasons."--"Indeed, sir,"
cried Deborah, "If you have your reasons, that's another affair; but I
should be glad to know those reasons."--"Excuse me, Madam," returned
he, "they lie too deep for discovery" (laying his hand upon his
bosom); "they remain buried, rivetted here."

Show by numerous examples from this selection that the
dependent clause of a sentence takes the rising
Inflection--whilst the principal clause takes the
falling. Which of the two has the heavier shading?
(Introduction, p. 33.)

How are such parenthetical clauses as AS HE DESIGNED, in
the second sentence, kept in the background?
(Introduction, pp. 24 and 27.) Give similar examples
from this selection.

What Inflection is placed on the rhetorical questions in
par. v? (Introduction, p. 19.)

How is the effect of the climax in par. viii brought
out? (Introduction, p. 31.)
