"How far did you mean me to come, then?" say I, half ashamed of my humors, but still with an after-thought of pettishness in my voice. "Escort you to the hall-door, I suppose, and kick my heels among the laurestines until such time as all Mr. Huntley's bills are paid?" He turns away.
"Oh, so pale, my Lady! but her face is the loveliest I ever saw, almost," added she, with an after-thought; "but so sad! she looks like the twin sister of the blessed Madonna in the Seminary chapel, my Lady." "Was she at her devotions, Fanchon?" "I think not, my Lady: she was reading a letter which she had just received from the Intendant." Angelique's eyes were now ablaze.
What for master and the missus come to this bad country? That's one bad kind will eat the missus in the night! Perhaps he come and eat Mahomet!" This after-thought was too much for him, and Bacheet immediately comforted him by telling the most horrible tales of death and destruction that had been wrought by lions, until the nerves of Mahomet were completely unhinged.
A Frenchman might well hold up his hands in astonished horror at the insane prolificness the foolhardy fertility of British householders. We come very improbably close together, except Tou Tou, who was an after-thought.
Her distress was perceived by a friend, a man, who consoled her without personal after-thought, or, at any rate, he concealed any such motive if he had it.

But the glow of Indian summer, that compromise, that after-thought of real summer, which brings her back for another good-bye ere she vanishes for ever its sadness is of a different kind.
Later, while Duane was examining his own costume preparatory to trying it on, Scott Seagrave's spectacled and freckled visage protruded into the room. He knocked as an after-thought. "Rosalie sent me. She's dressed in all her gimcracks and wants your expert opinion. I've got to go " "Where is she?" "In her room. I'm going out to the hatchery with Kathleen "
England is felt to have cooled a little towards Serbia. France is a source of bewilderment. The decoration of Belgrade with the Cross of the Legion of Honour was accepted in very good part, and the French Marshal who brought it was lauded to the skies. But the after-thought was, when he went away What did he come for?
And, apparently as an after-thought, when his foot was on the top step of the gangway ladder, this very agreeable gentleman urgently requested the pleasure of Mr Austin's company on a sporting expedition which he and one or two more were about to undertake that afternoon.
