"From deep in his throat" meaning?
I rode my bicycle alone from work on the very quiet road of my hometown. Suddenly, I noticed a man with long hair secretly riding behind me. I felt my heart jump. I quickened my legs pushing the pedals, hoping to ride faster. He kept following me through the dark, across the field. At last, I got home and tried to reach the bell. The man reached for me. I turned my head around and saw the oddest face in the world. From deep in his throat, I heard him say, “Excuse me, you dropped your bag,” giving the bag back to me. I couldn’t say anything, but was full of shame and regret for misunderstanding him.

How do I get this expression "From deep in his throat"? It means a husky voice?

Hi Terry, you are correct. "From deep in his throat" can mean a husky voice. It is meant to carry on the theme of dark and tense feeling this passage has.
