Theme Thursday: Antonyms


Hosted by Reading Between the Pages

Rules

This week's theme is Antonyms (Pick snippets that have opposites; i.e. if part of it has "open" then the other should have "close," etc.).



Here we go....best I think I'm going to do this week. From Hide and Seek by Wilkie Collins (p. 93)--ooh, we've got antonyms in the title!:

I knew there wasn't another soul in the room but the poor child at that time; and yet, the voice as spoke those words was no more like little Mary's voice, than my voice, sir, is like yours. It sounded somehow, hoarse and low, and deep and faint, all at the same time; the strangest, shockingest voice to come from a child, who always used to speak so clearly and prettily before, that I ever heard.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
