The danger and apprehension of their condition must have been such, that we cannot well imagine how they could proceed to the operations of building and fencing, with sufficient composure and quietness of spirit, to complete the slow and laborious preliminaries of founding such establishments, as they have transmitted to their children.
At length, the preliminaries finished, the Prince raised his eyes, and turned them slowly about those large, deep, searching eyes wells from which, without discoverable effort, he drew magnetism at his pleasure. He began simply, his voice distinct, and cast to make itself heard, and not more.
Cosmo lost no time with preliminaries. "These men," he said, taking his stand upon the platform, "have mutinied and tried to capture the Ark. This fellow" pointing to Campo "was the concocter and leader of the plot. He intended to throw me and Captain Arms, and all of you whom he did not wish to retain for his fiendish purposes, into the sea. But Heaven has delivered them into our hands.
Mac-Morlan spent as much time in preliminaries as decency would permit, and read over the articles of sale as slowly as if he had been reading his own death-warrant. He turned his eye every time the door of the room opened, with hopes which grew fainter and fainter. He listened to every noise in the street of the village, and endeavoured to distinguish in it the sound of hoofs or wheels.
After these preliminaries were settled, the two generals at last ventured upon an interview; but not until they had mutually promised to bury the past in oblivion, and all the outward formalities of a reconciliation had been settled.
When the introductions and preliminaries were over, Bennett took up his position again in front of the fireplace, leaning against the mantle, his hands in his pockets.

He persisted for some time in this resolution, which, however, Berthier and some other generals successfully opposed.
"It's a most encouraging sign, to see you embracing any kind of ritual," said Miss Maitland. "Isabel, I have hopes of him yet." "That is very good of you," replied the bride, smiling amiably at her lord and master to speak academically. "Very strange feeling it gives one to be so suddenly married in this way without any of the conventional preliminaries," Wilkinson continued.
All were surprised, but none more than Buckhurst, Wilkes, and Norris; for no intimation of this sudden resolution had been received by them, nor any answer given to various propositions, considered by her Majesty as indispensable preliminaries to the governor's visit. The council adjourned till after dinner, and Buckhurst held conference meantime with various counsellors and deputies.
One of the tackles even voiced his warning: "Look out for a pass!" and Norris shifted his position slightly to keep an eye on the Ridgley captain. Teeny-bits' duty was to dash through to the left and to get into the open space beyond the Jefferson line. The preliminaries of the play worked to perfection.
