Now, this occasional inevitable sinking of the recently killed Sperm Whale is a very curious thing; nor has any fisherman yet adequately accounted for it. Usually the dead Sperm Whale floats with great buoyancy, with its side or belly considerably elevated above the surface.

Prudence may, in many cases, recommend an occasional submission to either; but when that ignorance, upon which an implicit faith in both could only be founded, is once removed, God's Vicegerent, and Christ's Vicar, will only be obeyed and believed, as far as what the one orders, and the other says, is conformable to reason and to truth.
The Colonel flushed at his own audacity. The girl smiled forgivingly, though a little wanly. "Oh, no, monsieur. I am only his friend and occasional model. He is in trouble, messieurs. I came to cheer him up. I live across the hall." Colonel Sutphen, scanning the far end of the room, failed to find the object of his inquiry.
Not even the mechanics through whom there is an occasional out-burst of honest and telling indignation, at cruelty and wrong on other plantations are white men, on this plantation.

If Jean had said that he had met a periwinkle dancing a hornpipe with an oyster she would have muttered heavily "Think of that!"
In the dense stillness the occasional howl of a dog could be heard. A slight flush of annoyance crossed Henson's broad face. "Some day I shall poison all those hounds," he said. Enid looked up at him swiftly. "If all the hounds round Longdean were poisoned or shot it would be a good place to live in," she said.
