O sons of unthinkable begetting children of unspeakable shame are we here for the look of the thing?" It was two feet of wire-rope frayed at the ends, and it did wonders as Peroo leaped from gunnel to gunnel, shouting the language of the sea. Findlayson was more troubled for the stone boats than anything else.
Those snaky women were unthinkable, but inspiration secured them for us, thanks to goodness. It is too late to reorganize this editor-critic now; we will leave him as he is. He will serve to remind us. Richard II. next; twenty-two WHITE squares. We use the lion again because this is another Richard.
Her anger disconcerted the man more than her anguish had done. His breath caught sharply. "You don't realise what you are saying," he said, speaking calmly with an effort. "Because I once loved you love you still if you will before ever Robert Grell came into your life, you hint an unthinkable thing." She crossed the room in a graceful swirl of draperies, and laid a finger on the bell.
What we call a code is really a localized conscience, and there are many men whose consciences do not permit seduction of the virgin but who are quite easy in mind about an intrigue with a married woman. So, too, you may be as wily as you please in business but find cheating at cards base and unthinkable.
"Trust a woman to confront a man with the unthinkable, and then expect him to take credit for not having been guilty of it! Would I have snatched a juicy bone away from a starving lion? That's what Leaver has been all these months. It's what any man gets to be when his job is taken away from him and he doesn't know when he will get another.
Such a development would gravely prejudice the lasting interests of Italy, for she would forfeit her political independence by so doing, and incur the risk of sinking to a sort of vassal state of France. Such a contingency is not unthinkable, for, in judging the policy of Italy, we must not disregard her relations with England as well as with France.
The reason which has prompted the Imperial Government to adopt this conciliatory policy is the knowledge that, once diplomatic relations are severed with Germany, China will not only lose a truly good friend but will also be entangled in unthinkable difficulties."
It was unthinkable! It would break her utterly. "Even if that were all, it still wouldn't be possible," he said gently. "You don't know what you would have to face. And I couldn't let you face it. But it isn't all. . . . There's honour, dear, and duty. . . ." Her gaze met his in dreary interrogation. "Then then, you'll go away?" Her voice faltered, broke.
Uniting, as it did, clear reason with lively fancy, it could not conceive one thing to be another, nor relish the figure of speech that so described it, hoping by that unthinkable phrase to suggest its affinities.
England would never have done it. The nationality of the greatest decorative painter of modern times would have offended her sense of fitness. What a French painter officially employed on an English public building? Unthinkable! England would have insisted on an English painter or, at worst, an American.
