Angry at what Willems had done and also angry at what he had left undone. The scoundrel was not complete. The conception was perfect, but the execution, unaccountably, fell short. Why? He ought to have cut Almayer's throat and burnt the place to ashes then cleared out. Got out of his way; of him, Lingard! Yet he didn't. Was it impudence, contempt or what?
Thus it was that Lucinda, when she came out to the veranda step, found herself unaccountably deserted. All the Grange Penhallows were gone; Lucinda realized this after a few moments of bewildered seeking, and she understood that if she were to get to the Grange that night she must walk. Plainly there was nobody to take her. Lucinda was angry.
I loved to study life in all its gradations the "March of Intellect" was yet unknown here! and though the situation afforded such numerous advantages for smuggling, there were, rather unaccountably, only three persons in the village connected with the coast blockade; and it was whispered that relying on the entire seclusion of the cove, these persons too often winked when they ought to have been astir on their duty.
He arose; and I told him, that were I not thus unaccountably hurried by his impatience, I doubted not to convince him, that both he and I had looked upon next Wednesday with greater apprehension than was necessary. I was proceeding to give him my reasons; but he broke in upon me Had I, Madam, but the shadow of a probability to hope what you hope, I would be all obedience and resignation.
Rossitur, "after you have read the letter, for I suppose you will read it sometime. You should have had it before, it came enclosed to me, but I forgot unaccountably to mail it to you till a few days ago." "It will be just as good now, sir," said Mr. Ringgan. "There is a matter in it though," said Rossitur, "about which my mother has given me a charge. We will see you to-morrow.

That was a very severe blow to me, because I had always believed that the descent to eternal perdition would be incomplete unless he had a front seat. And the man who first hit on the plan of employing child labor on night shifts in cotton factories he was unaccountably absent too. And likewise the original inventor of the toy pistol; in fact the absentees were entirely too numerous to suit me.

Hermann shook off the cloud of preoccupation that so unaccountably, to Michael's thinking, had descended on him, and walked across to the window. "Well, long may ignorance be bliss," he said. "Lord, what a divine evening! 'Uber allen gipfeln ist Ruhe. At least, there is peace on the only summits visible, which are house roofs.
"It is unaccountably strange," said D'Artagnan to himself, whilst his friend, on his knees, received the eminent order which the king conferred on him "it is almost incredible that I have always seen showers of prosperity fall upon all who surrounded me, and that not a drop ever reached me!
