"There's a big buck woods-boss up in Pennington's camp," he remarked irrelevantly. "He's a French Canadian imported from northern Michigan by Colonel Pennington. I dare say he's the only man in this country who measures up to you physically. He can fight with his fists and wrestle right cleverly, I'm told. His name is Jules Rondeau, and he's top dog among the lumberjacks.
He would look with a piteous expression of discomfort and almost misery at his black trousers and swallowtail coat, a costume in which he said he was always most wretched. "These clothes I have on," he continued, "were a great success in America." And then quite irrelevantly and rather hastily, "How often do large fortunes ruin young men!
"O Richard," cried his wife, in despair of his amendment, "you wouldn't make life a burden to a mouse!" And having nothing else for it, she laughed, half in sorrow, half in fondness. "Well, Fanny," the Colonel irrelevantly answered, "put on your hat and things, and let's all go up to Durham Terrace for a promenade. I know our friends want to go.
"I thought you felt you could be happy among such people as these," he answered, rather irrelevantly.

"You seem to know so much about me, doctor, perhaps you can tell me where they are going to take me."

She did not reply, and he walked to the window and looked out on the garden. "I don't smoke or drink, you know," he said irrelevantly, "because I think they're drugs.
And then there was a darn cat that kept movin' around the house all' botherin' me with its noises." "An' it's fat!" Jim exclaimed irrelevantly and with joy. "I'm sure tellin' you, Jim, it's fat. I'm plum' anxious for another look at 'em." Unconsciously the two men quickened their pace. Yet they did not relax from their caution.

The words according to the original are simply these: Cursed is he that continueth not the words of this law to do them; i. e., He who disobeys, or neglects to fulfil the commands of the law, shall be under the curse denounced upon the disobedient.
He said it almost as Popple might have said "A DENTIST?" and Undine found herself astray in a new labyrinth of social distinctions. She felt a sudden contempt for Harry Lipscomb, who had already struck her as too loud, and irrelevantly comic.
