There seems to be something abysmally deep behind the facade, if you know what I mean. If I think about it much, it seems to me that there is too much surface about Strangwise and not enough foundation! And he smiles... Well, rather often, doesn't he?" "I know what you mean," said the Chief. "I always tell my young men to be wary when a man smiles too much.
Presently it would float as Joe dreamed of it, and where the sun struck it, it would be unbearably bright, and where there were shadows, they would be abysmally black except, perhaps, when earthshine from the planet below would outline it in a ghostly fashion. There would be men in the thing that floated in space. It swam in a splendid orbit about the world that had built it.
His short legs wabbled, and his tiny arms ached under the light weight of the bridal train, but Something would happen if he let that train drop. He did not know quite what this Something would be, but he abysmally inferred that it would be extremely unpleasant. He held grimly to his burden. Suddenly he forgot it. The air was full of wonderful sounds such as he had never heard before.
They realized to the full the dreadful responsibility which they had assumed. They knew how abysmally hopeless was their chance of accomplishing anything. And without some gigantic effort being made, the world as they knew it would be destroyed. In its place would be a race of strange beings, of vengeful hybrids endowed from birth with the will to conquer, or destroy utterly.
Her unnatural, singing tone attracted his attention; he looked at her very closely. “Where is my wife?” he asked.

Philippina’s smile became brighter. “Is it cold out?” she asked, and in a moment she had left the room.
"Oh my dear, I can speak for you if THAT'S what you want!" The Duchess met his eyes, and so for an instant they sounded each other. "You're so abysmally coarse that I often wonder !" But as the door reopened she caught herself. It was the effect of a face apparently directed at her. "Be quiet. Here's old Edward."
She sounded it almost aggressively; it was what she was reduced to she had positively to place it. "Ah, that as much as you please!" Maggie said this and left it, but the tone of it had the next moment determined in her friend a fresh reaction. "You think, both of you, so abysmally and yet so quietly. But it's what will have saved you."
Though drawn from widely varying sources, they all emphasize the greatest crime of modern civilization that of permitting motherhood to be left to blind chance, and to be mainly a function of the most abysmally ignorant and irresponsible classes of the community. Here is a fairly typical case from Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Here is a glorious example of Irish humour the bull not unconscious, not entirely conscious, but rather an idea so absurd that even the utterer of it can hardly realise how abysmally absurd it is. But every other nation would have treated the idea in a manner slightly different.
But subtly guiding him into the way that would be best for him was a far different matter from what she had been planning up to last night's moonrise was as abysmally separated from its selfish hypocrisy as love from hate. She would persist in her purpose, but how changed the motive! She heard him stirring in her no, THEIR room. Her face lighted up, her eyes sparkled.
