Severino, Langholm, is the best pianist we have had in the club since I have been a member, and you will say the same yourself in another minute. He always plays to us when he drops in to dine, and you may think yourself lucky that he has dropped in to-night." "But where does the coincidence come in?" asked Langholm, as the young fellow returned to the piano with a rather sad shake of the head.
He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less ghastly topic; he was conscious that his hostess was giving him only a fragment of her attention, and her eyes were constantly straying past him to the open window and the lawn beyond. It was certainly an unfortunate coincidence that he should have paid his visit on this tragic anniversary.
The president of the Northeastern Railroads rose as he spoke these words, and held out his hand to Mr. Crewe. It was perhaps a coincidence that the senator rose also. "All right," said Mr. Crewe, "I'll call around again in about two weeks. Come and see me sometime, Senator." "Thank you," said the senator, "I shall be happy.
He was almost angry with himself for not having told his uncle the whole truth; but then he reflected that Caroline had not yet acknowledged that she felt anything like affection for him; and he said to himself, over and over again, that he was sure she would not marry him without loving him for all the rich uncles in Christendom; and yet it was a singular coincidence that he and his uncle should have thought of the same marriage.
This coincidence struck Professor Rawlinson, who compares one of these Assyrian columns to a column in the porch of the Cathedral of Trent. He reproduces them both in his Five Great Monarchies, vol. i. p. 313. See PERROT and GUILLAUME, Exploration archéologique de la Galatie, vol. ii. pl. 57. Discoveries, p. 590. GEORGE SMITH, Assyrian Discoveries, p. 431.

"The conclusion I draw from it well, by Jove, the conclusion is that it was just a coincidence! And, in the next place, who can tell? Perhaps it was some glance of hers which I had not noticed and which came back that night to me one of those mysterious and unconscious evocations of memory which often bring before us things ignored by our own consciousness, unperceived by our minds!"
I silenced him quickly enough. But can you imagine what brought him to such a place at such a time?" Mary Louise drew herself together in an odd little shiver. "Some strange things can happen by coincidence, Mrs. Mosby. Was he badly hurt?" "Fractured his left leg just below the knee, Dr. Withers says poor Joseph! He's been an ambitious boy. So anxious to get ahead, and so self-sufficient.
"Oh, how love I Thine house, and the place where Thine honour dwelleth!" "Well, we do; yes," said the German; "but we do our best. We meet together, and I well, I say a few words, and perhaps they are not wholly lost, not quite." "Strange coincidence," said Bonaparte; "my plan always was the same. Was in the Free State once solitary farm one neighbour.
Kenneth began to remark on the curious coincidence that he too had come out with the intention of riding down to the same place; but the volatile middy burst in with "Come, Lizz, that's jolly, we're bound for the same port, and can set sail in company; whether we keep together or not depends on circumstances, not to mention wind and weather.
