lilt

As Morris shares his side of the story, his voice whispers across the phone line, a gentle Southern lilt kissing every syllable.

His voice carries some of the Bavarian lilt of Werner Herzog, and he looks slightly like Daniel Day-Lewis when he laughs.

At the lilt in her voice Mollie, at her end of the wire, sat up and stared inquiringly into the black mouth of the telephone.

"Better than that," answered Betty with the same lilt to her voice that the girls had heard over the telephone.

Notice, however, that the beat is quite regular, and the lines lilt along as if there were no change.

These were the nights when "curtains" hung festooned in the heavens, alive, rippling, dancing to the lilt of lightning music.
