Then he turned away, rested the back of his left hand, in which he was holding his hat, on his haunch, fixed an eyeglass in his eye, and looked round with an expression of great gravity, twirling first one end and then the other of his little light moustache slowly as he did so.
In the month of August Queen Caroline had established herself at Brandenburg House the Margravine of Anspach's house, by the river at Hammersmith near enough to Kensington Palace, to judge from human nature, to disconcert and provoke a smile against the smiler's will for Caroline's extravagances would have disturbed the gravity of a judge in the womanly Princess at the head of the little household soberly settled there.

I remembered how exercise set me up in the country, and I started out for a little air.
In considering the possible causes of the immense differences of specific gravity among the planets, I was led to question the validity of the tacit assumption that each planet consists of solid or liquid matter from centre to surface. It seemed to me that any other internal structure which was mechanically stable, might be assumed with equal legitimacy.
The room was so little, and hot, and smoky, and the men looked so queer in their rough coats and hair every-which-way. But they took their seats demurely on the back seat, and joined in the opening songs, and listened to the halting prayers of the brethren and the sonorous prayers of the Elder, with commendable gravity.

This is owing to the cohesion of the molecules of the oil, which refuse to be separated from one another. If, however, we again add to the drop of oil and invert the plate the drop will elongate and finally part, one portion dropping while the other portion clings to the main body of the liquid. The fall of the drop is occasioned by gravity overcoming the cohesion of the molecules.
