““As the willow studied the Count, he noted that the arches over her eyebrows were very much like the marcato notation in music - that accent which instructs one to play a phrase a little more loudly. This, no doubt, accounted for the willow's preference for issuing commands and the resulting huskiness of her voice. But as the Count was coming to this conclusion, the willow was apparently coming to a conclusion of her own, for she now dispensed with any intent to charm.””
