Old Man Hooper, strangely incongruous in his wrinkled "store clothes," swung aboard. "I will ride with you for a distance," he said. We jogged forth side by side at the slow Spanish trot.
The international situation was now strangely like that which followed immediately upon the battle of Austerlitz. Then it was Prussia, now it was Austria, that played the part of the cautious friend at the very time when the beaten allies were meditating surrender.
Tancred, the Marquis of Montacute, was certainly strangely distracted on his twenty-first birthday.
I have already described Manderson's bedroom, the rigorous simplicity of its furnishing, contrasted so strangely with the multitude of clothes and shoes, and the manner of its communication with Mrs Manderson's room.
There was a daffodil light over the evening sky in front of them, and it shone strangely on Jackanapes' hair and face.

At length, by the good offices of a secretary and the latter's uncle, a priest, he pleads with his wife more efficaciously, and induces her to return to him, yet without her pardoning herself; and she dies in giving birth to a child, dies because she wishes, rather from wounded pride, it would appear, than on account of her husband, to whose affection she is strangely insensible.
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
