"Why cannot you always be a good man, father?" But as soon as she saw him vexed again, she kissed his hand, and said she would sing him to sleep.
At first Catherine is talking to her father and doesn't care that she is probably going to hurt his feelings and seem rude by asking him why he is not a good man all the time, and once she sees his upset reaction she changes her tone and offers to sing to him. This tone change is conveyed through the use of many soft "s" sounds in "as" "soon" "she" "saw" "kissed" "sing" "sleep." The soft, hushed sounds show the switch to a warmer tone with her father.
