His happy voice rose over the roar of the cleaner.
A little later she heard the equally familiar happy voices of the hosts.
"Thank you," she told him in her happy girlish voice.
"You know what this party needs," Stewart asked in a loud happy voice.
There were footsteps right outside her door, and raised happy voices.

His voice happy and surprisingly light, he said, "She threw the phone at me."
"I pulled a gun on him," he said, almost in a happy voice.
He could hear happy voices next door, saying good night.
