For a moment the utter inexplicability of the remark silenced Uncle Chris. Why Jill should be angry with Mr Pilkington for being robbed of ten thousand dollars, he could not understand, for Jill had told him nothing of the scene that had taken place on the previous night.
He illustrates it here by quotations from Mill, who admits the 'thread of consciousness' to be an ultimate inexplicability, and by a passage from Carlyle, 'the greatest poet of the age, setting forth the mystery of the 'Me. He believes in a Being who, though not purely benevolent, has so arranged the universe, that virtue is the law prescribed to his creatures.
They were the first words I heard that morning, and their friendly hoarseness brushed away whatever of doubt might seem to mar the inexplicability of my new glow of my happiness. It was because we were safe she and I and because my undisturbed love let my heart open to the beauty of the young day and the joyousness of a splendid sea.
In part the article had said: Mysterious disappearances, such as that of Georgette Gilbert, have alarmed the public and baffled the police before this, disappearances that in their suddenness, apparent lack of purpose, and inexplicability, have had much in common with the case of Miss Gilbert.
But after all is said and done, there remains a vast mass of instinctive and inexplicable elements: a power deeper and more marvellous in its inscrutable ramifications than human consciousness. 'What on earth, we say, 'could So-and-so see in So-and-so to fall in love with? This very inexplicability I take to be the sign and seal of a profound importance.
It was not that kind of fear; it was a fear that was apprehension, dread lest something might happen. What?

Where so many things were muddled in inexplicability this one matter seemed suddenly perfectly clear to her.

When Farfrae descended out of the loft breathless from his encounter with Henchard, he paused at the bottom to recover himself.
A dog, a human hand armed with a missile, a furious minatory face these things were not present to account for the breach of etiquette. Vaguely he perceived this, conscious only of inexplicability; but he himself also ceased, and watched for developments. Very slowly they came at first.
These relationships, as also this developmental power, will doubtless, in a certain sense, be somewhat further explained as science advances. But the result will be merely a shifting of the inexplicability a point backwards, by the intercalation of another step between the action of the internal condition or power and its external result.
The article was brief: Mysterious disappearances, such as that of Betty Blackwell, have alarmed the public and baffled the police before this disappearances that have in their suddenness, apparent lack of purpose, and inexplicability much in common with her case.
