To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not infrequently, particularly in oral discourse, the speaker asks and answers a series of questions. For example : — "What would content you? Talent? No. Enterprise? No. Coui^e? No. Virtue? No. The man whom you would select should possess not one but all." These answers are so much a part of the questions that they seem to require the delivery of the interrogative in declarative form, — the Indirect. That is delivered with the two Sweeps. Here they are developed on one word, and become the Cir...cumflex. The exception above says that the last of a series of Indirects may take the Perfect Fall. One of the exceptions to the rule for the delivery of the Definite says that the last of a series may take the Downward Slide. Read the sentence above in this way, with the Upward Slide on all of the Definites except the last, which takes the Downward Slide ; and with the Cir- cumflex on all the answers except the last, which takes the Perfect Fall. The effect is good. It can almost be formulated as a rule that, when the answers to such a series of questions are not obviously Declarative sentences only, they should be read as Indirect interrogatives.
