4. Ah! what is that flame which now bursts on his eye'?
5. Whence this pleasing hope', this fond desire',
This longing after immortality'?
Exception.—When questions usually requiring the falling inflection are emphatic or repeated, they take the rising inflection.
EXAMPLES. (22)
1. Where did you say he had gone'?
2. To whom did you say the blame was to be imputed'?
3. What is' he? A knave. What' is he? A knave, I say.
RISING INFLECTION. (23)
RULE IV.—The rising inflection is generally used where the sense is dependent or incomplete.
REMARK.—This inflection is generally very slight, requiring an acute and educated ear to discern it, and it is difficult to teach pupils to distinguish it, though they constantly use it. Care should be taken not to exaggerate it.
