"Odds my life! what scatter-brains women are born with!" marvelled Mr. Meredith. "No wonder the adage runs that 'a woman's mind and a winter's wind oft change'! In the name of evil, Jan, what started ye off on that tangent?" "You will keep faith with him, dadda?" pleaded the daughter. "Of course I will," affirmed the squire.
This is indeed Satan rebuking sin. Why there are three designs here one I've just knocked over beastly, wasn't it? that you left with me when you went off at a tangent to South Africa.... Really, we ought to have some continuity you know....
He was not the fellow to go off at a tangent, on account of a domestic quarrel which you have never vouchsafed to explain to me, and to retain his anger during all these eight years! Where did he go? What did he do? We none of us know, neither you nor I, nor anybody else. He is assuredly dead, and lies in some graveyard far enough from here. May God have mercy on his soul!"
He tripped, clutched, and lost his hold, slid on a plane of icy lava, smooth as glass, struck a buttress that sent him off at a tangent down the face of the cliff, bounding from impact with an outthrust elbow of the rock, whirling into space, into the icy turmoil of the waves, flooding into the inlet.
They wouldn't have thought it right. You've climbed." "If it's climbing," I said. She went off at a tangent. "It's I don't know if you'll understand interesting to meet you again. I've remembered you. I don't know why, but I have. I've used you as a sort of lay figure when I've told myself stories.
Don't she know a real man when she sees one? I'll say she don't." "I'm standin' by Kitty because she's shy of friends. Any man would do that, wouldn't he? I came to you for help because oh, because I know you're white clear through." A flush beat into Annie's cheeks. She went off swiftly at a tangent. "Wouldn't it give a fellow a jar?
For instance, I believe that your reluctance to have me go away from Tangent Island was due to your discovery that the island belonged to Sylvia's mother, and, therefore, there was some probability that she might come there." Walkirk smiled. "You have hit the truth," he said. "I have sometimes wondered," I continued, "why a man should take so much interest in the love affairs of another.
"Our habit saves you, at least, don't you see?" because it makes you, after all, for the vulgar, indistinguishable from other men. What's the most inveterate mark of men in general? Why the capacity to spend endless time with dull women to spend it I won't say without being bored, but without minding that they are, without being driven off at a tangent by it; which comes to the same thing.
What a pity if this pure morality, in detaching itself impetuously from the earth, whose bright satellite it might be, should fly into the abyss at a tangent, and leave us as much in the dark as before!
Now all these circumferences have for a common tangent the straight line BN; namely the same line which is drawn as a tangent from the point B to the circumference SNR which we considered first. For it is easy to see that all the other circumferences will touch the same BN, from B up to the point of contact N, which is the same point where AN falls perpendicularly on BN.
