The captain never spoke to anyone when he came down to work out.

Then the captain spoke again, as if in response to some new information.

The Captain spoke of the political situation in the world.

"Captain, I must speak with you about one of my children."

The captain spoke to his first officer without looking at him.

When the captain spoke, his voice was soft and very low.

It was the first time he could ever remember the Captain having spoken his name.

The captain spoke to no one for almost an hour following his collapse.

The captain was speaking quietly, just as he had been doing for the past couple of hours.

The Captain spoke loud enough for the rest of the company to hear.
