Then, through the silence, came the tones of a chilling laugh.

One sound, in particular: the tone of a sinister laugh.

The whispered tones of a mocking laugh came from the being that stood before him.

He heard the merciless tone of a whispered laugh.

The confusion was broken by another sound - the tone of a rising laugh.

It seemed like the faint, hollow tone of a whispered laugh.

Then, to his ears came the low tones of a sinister laugh.

Through the pitch-black room came the sinister tones of a hollow laugh.

From beyond the garden came the trailing tone of a departing laugh.

Fixed lips moved; from them came the tone of a whispered laugh.
