The colors behind him faded, and suddenly a soft insistent voice was speaking.

He crossed the court slowly, hearing again the soft, insistent voice.

"Tell me what you saw," she said, her voice no less gentle but insistent.

An insistent voice, however, told her that was not all she'd wanted.

"Let me see," said an insistent voice from below the bar.

"You know who this is," interrupted a quiet but insistent voice.

"Get up," said his mother's voice, more insistent this time.

But the eyes quickly returned to the woman; he spoke in a low insistent voice.

Ben hurried faster; he was almost running now from the insistent voice.
