“The changing styles are the expression of a restless search for something which shall commend itself to our aesthetic sense; but as each innovation is subject to the selective action of the norm of conspicuous waste, the range within which innovation can take place is somewhat restricted.

“I do one accent - my own. I can make it louder or quieter. That is the sum total of my vocal range.
