To _arms_! to ARMS! to ARMS! they cry.
7. _Hurrah_ for bright water! HURRAH! HURRAH!
8. I _met_ him, FACED him, SCORNED him.
9. _Horse_! HORSE! and CHASE!
10. The charge is _utterly_, TOTALLY, MEANLY, false.
11. Ay, cluster there! Cling to your master, _judges_, ROMANS, SLAVES.
12. I defy the honourable _gentleman_; I defy the GOVERNMENT; I defy
the WHOLE PHALANX.
13. He has allowed us to meet you here, and in the name of the present
_generation_, in the name of your COUNTRY, in the name of LIBERTY, to
thank you.
14 They shouted _France_! SPAIN! ALBION! VICTORY!

CLIMAX.
Climax, or cumulative emphasis, consists of a series of particulars or
emphatic words or sentences, in which each successive particular, word, or
sentence rises in force and importance to the last.
INFLECTIONS.
The inflections of the voice, consist of those peculiar slides which it
takes in pronouncing syllables, words, or sentences.
There are two of these slides, the upward and the downward. The upward is
called the rising inflection, and the downward the falling inflection, and
when these are combined it is known as the circumflex.
