It was by this man I found out who Mr Jones was; and this man, whose name is Dowling, Mr Jones tells me is your steward. I discovered his name by a very odd accident; for he himself refused to tell it me; but Partridge, who met him at my lodgings the second time he came, knew him formerly at Salisbury."
In the first place, the shell fish called oysters are readily cooked, or may be eaten raw with great satisfaction. I know not what our people of Virginia would have done without them, and yet it was only by chance or accident that we came to learn how nourishing they are.
He was in deep mourning, having newly heard of his father having been killed in an American railway accident, and though his uncle seemed proud of him, and continued his liberal allowance, the loss and blank were greatly felt all the more that he had not found it easy to make friends among his brother officers in the Life Guards.
He got up, growling at the accident, for there was no use in following the other after this, although he did not feel beaten yet. Daly no doubt hoped to get away by the Montreal express, but would hide in the bush until the last moment. Foster went back to the hotel for Pete, and leaving a note for Lawrence, dressed for a journey and took the road to the station.
Whence came the circumstantial evidence against him, the broken knife and the blood, I am unable to tell. I suppose, by some miraculous accident, Hawkins was passing by, and endeavoured to assist his oppressor in the agonies of death. You have heard his story; you have read one of his letters.
Bad is so bad, that we cannot but think good an accident; good is so good, that we feel certain that evil could be explained.

"Time," replied Syme, "for one outrageous thought.
"Your majesty is perfectly aware," he said, "that accidents are very frequent in hunting." "In hunting, do you say?" "I mean, sire, when an animal is brought to bay." "Ah, ah!" said the king, "it was when the animal was brought to bay, then, that the accident happened?" "Alas! sire, unhappily it was." The king paused for a moment before he said: "What animal was being hunted?"
Hamilton Tooting, a young man of a sporting appearance and a free vocabulary, made the next attempt. It is a characteristic of Mr. Tooting's kind that, in their efforts to be genial, they often use an awkward diminutive of their friends' names. "Hello, Aust," said Mr. Tooting, "I dropped in to get those witnesses in that Meagre accident, before I forget it."
No, he will not come, I am sure of that, he is the last man to take advantage of an accident and of his coming to our assistance. Even if he did, and I had ever cared for him, and there had been no 'Robinson's, it would be too late and too bad to change one's mind after we had grown poor and had to work for ourselves." Dora was right. Tom Robinson did not come.
As Carthage had made an attempt in Italy, when Rhegium and Tarentum were about to be occupied by the Romans, to acquire these cities for itself, and had only been prevented from doing so by accident, so in Sicily an opportunity now offered itself for Rome to bring the city of Messana into its symmachy; should the Romans reject it, it was not to be expected that the city would remain independent or would become Syracusan; they would themselves throw it into the arms of the Phoenicians.
