She never questioned her child would be a boy. She knew that Olaf wanted a boy. "Oh, even more than he does me, daddy. And so he mustn't know, you see, until it is all over. Because Olaf is such an ill-informed person that he really believes he prefers me." "Pat," her father inconsequently said, "I'm proud of you! And and, by God, if I want to cry, I guess I am old enough to know my own mind!
Inconsequently she remembered that Mrs. John Blythe was so fond of cats that she kept as many as her husband would allow. "They ARE adorable animals, aren't they?" she said wickedly. "I have never liked cats," said Mrs. Gardner remotely. "I love them," said Dorothy. "They are so nice and selfish. Dogs are TOO good and unselfish. They make me feel uncomfortable. But cats are gloriously human."
I was awfully broken up," he concluded inconsequently. She liked his being broken up, but she did not like the rest. She would not press the question further now. She only said rather gravely, "If it's such a short acquaintance, can you write to them in that familiar way?" "Oh yes! Mrs. Frobisher is one of that kind." Alice was silent a moment before she said, "I think you'd better not write.
You wouldn't think that men would go to war to learn how to be kind but they do. There's no kinder creature in the whole wide world than the average Tommy. He makes a friend of any stray animal he can find. He shares his last franc with a chap who isn't his pal. He risks his life quite inconsequently to rescue any one who's wounded.
I guess I shall go up and put on my best dress," she added, inconsequently; "this one's kind of dusty; it's the same I rode in." "Le' me see that paper again," said Mr. Pinkham jealously. "I didn't more 'n half sense it, I was so taken aback. Well, Mary Ann, you didn't expect you was goin' to get into the papers when you came away.
And the sheer, immense criminal folly of Sophia could not even be referred to: it was unspeakable. So the interview proceeded, lamely, clumsily, inconsequently, leading to naught. Sophia was gone. She was gone with Gerald Scales. Yes, without excuse!
At first I thought that he was dead, but after I had poured some water over him from the little stream that trickled down the rock, he sat up and asked inconsequently: "What am I now?" "A hero," I answered. Then, discouraging further conversation, I set to work to get him back to the camp, which fortunately was close at hand.
'I don't care a rap about that. I'm not such an ass as to thirst for revenge and all that, like some chap in a shilling shocker. But it makes me wild to think of that fellow masquerading as a German, and up to who knows what mischief mischief enough to make him want to get rid of any one. I'm keen about the sea, and I think they're apt to be a bit slack at home, he continued inconsequently.
Grown calmer, she considered this. What did he mean by it? to imply a knowledge of herself? "It will be useless," she said inconsequently. "No," he said, "it will not be useless." She considered this also, and took the broader meaning that such acts are not wasted. "What do you intend to try to do?" she asked. He smiled a little. "To listen to as much as you care to tell me, Honora."
He could see himself falling the tall, powerful lad standing over him with a grin. Then, inconsequently, he began to think of his father's death. He made a good end did the old man. "Jim, my lad, the Lord's verra merciful," or "Jim, you'll look after Ann." Ann was the only daughter. Then a sigh or two, and a bit of sleep, and it was done.
