Now this was all understandable enough; but when that inquisitive tombstone artificer deliberately affirmed, in spite of many attempts to shake his memory, that the spoiling of the Talayot had taken place on the night immediately preceding our arrival in Mahon and the arrival of his most Catholic Majesty's mail steamer Antiguo Mahones, then it seemed to Haigh and myself either that somebody was lying most blackly, or that we ourselves could not believe certain of our own senses which we had hitherto considered strictly reliable.
How many are there who have had brought home to them in an understandable manner by stage-plays the costumes, habits, manners, and customs of countries and ages other than their own; what insight have they thus obtained into facts and vicissitudes of life of passions and sorrows and ambitions outside the narrow scope of their own lives, and which yet may and do mould the destinies of men.
The scar on the face of Le Balafré glistened for him; he had veritably tasted the little round loaves of French bread that the adventurer had eaten with the pseudo-merchant. But to step out of that world of words into this keen sunlight ah, there was the difference! The minds which one found in the pages of a book were understandable. But the minds of living men how terrible they were!
But that was understandable. Either Gregor had not returned from his labours or he was out gathering the essentials for the evening meal. Judging from the variety of odours that swam the halls of this human warren many suppers were in the process of making, and the top flavour was garlic. He sniffed pleasurably. Not that the smell of garlic quickened his hunger.
Why should outsiders feel that they have a right to tell us 'do' or 'don't'?" Such an attitude is understandable, but it is unfortunate, and the young people are the ones who suffer.
Since the liver is the most complex and active chemical factory in the body, its appropriation of a greater amount of iodine for itself is understandable. When thyroxin is administered in a single dose, there is a distinct lag in the absorption of it by the tissues. A single dose does not generate its maximum effect until the tenth day. This effect continues for about ten days.
Hospitality of that kind was understandable in men like Kennedy and Latrobe one the leading literary light of his State, whose civic duties brought him in contact with all classes the other a distinguished man of letters as well as being a poet, artist, and engineer, who naturally touched the sides of many personalities.
For an instant Hassan stared, then he rocked back, his white teeth flashed, and he shouted with laughter. The boys broke down, too, and in a moment the entire patronage of the coffee shop was staring at the three idiots who roared with unrestrained laughter in public. Such behavior in Americans was to be deplored, perhaps, but understandable. But a licensed dragoman ... incredible!
Sam was perfectly aware of the discrepancy, but he knew better than to offer gratuitous explanation. The Indian smoked. "Where you come from now?" he inquired, finally. "Tschi-gammi ." This was understandable. Remained only the object of an expedition of this peculiar character.
The scientific investigation of the psychology of odors is too subtle to be understandable. The question of analyzing the exudations of a nervous crowd seems interesting, but the remembrance of an anxious humanity is always present.
