The
efforts in repulsion and retention are equal.
The inflections are in accord with the eyebrows. When the brows are
raised, the voice is raised. This is the normal movement of the voice in
relation to the eyebrow.
Sometimes the eyebrow is in contradiction to the movement of the voice.
Then there is always ellipse; it is a thought unexpressed. The
contradiction between these two agents always proves that we must seek
in the words which these phenomena modify, something other than they
seem to say. For instance, when we reply to a story just told us, with
this exclamation: "_Indeed_!"
If the brow and voice are lowered, the case is grave and demands much
consideration.
If brow and voice are elevated, the expression is usually mild, amiable
and affectionate.
If the voice is raised and the brow lowered, the form is doubtful and
suspicious. With the brow concentric, the hand is repellent.
Both brow and hand concentric denote repulsion or retention; this is
always the case with a door.
Both brow and hand eccentric mean inspiration, or allowing departure
without concern.
There is homogeneity between the face, the eyebrow and the hand.
The degree and nature of the emotion must be shown in the face,
otherwise there will be only grimace.
The hand is simply another expression of the face. The face gives the
hand its significance. Hand movements without facial expression would be
purely automatic.
