11.   When Marc spoke his words seemed to grow out of the night itself.

12.   The words seemed to linger on the air.

13.   That word seemed to be written on her brain in letters of fire.

14.   And it makes his spoken words seem far less austere than they sometimes seem in print.

15.   And his words seemed designed to heighten speculation that he has presidential ambitions.

16.   And sometimes, it seems, the effect can persist, making ordinary words seem weirdly opaque.

17.   And now that she is gone, the final words seem especially resonant.

18.   And though his words seemed like a joke, the players obviously did not want to find out if it was.

19.   As desperate as those words seemed, Carpenter sounded hopeful, not panicky.

20.   Back then, however, his words seemed hollow.
