Isaacson knew it for a lamp fixed against the mast of the Loulia. He put his hand down to his hip-pocket. Yes, his revolver was safely there. He lit a cigar, then, moved by an after-thought, threw it away. Its tip hissed as it struck the river. He looked at that blue jewel, at the diaper of yellow below it, and he set out upon his nocturnal journey. At first he walked very slowly and cautiously.
"South America!" The sleepy gaze flickered over the whole slight, dapper person of the captain, betraying frank scorn. "So that's it, is it?" He began feeling in his pocket for a cigarette, adding as an after-thought, "I suppose you've made up your mind about it?" "Not entirely. But there's no point in sticking around here ... as things are.
"I did not know that. Why did you not tell me?" "We were talking of empires," replied the baroness. "By the way," she added, in after-thought, "is our good friend Colonel Gilbert in Corsica?" "Yes he is at Bastia." "Ah," said the baroness, looking reflectively at Denise's telegram, which she still held in her hand, "I thought he was."
If this citizen has restored public liberty, if he has secured the safety of his country, is it a reward to offer him the sacrifice of that liberty; and would it not be destroying his own work to make his country his private patrimony? When once the proposition of holding the consulate for life was presented for the votes of the people, it was easy to see that an after-thought existed.
It was the emblem of virility, and from the facts at hand, at the present time, there is little doubt but that all the spirituality with which we find this "Lord" invested was an after-thought and comprehended no part of the belief of the Jews until after their contact with the Persians during the Babylonian captivity.
Now, with new taxation and so on, she feels she must. It's a bad time for selling, isn't it, Stephen?" "The worst." "What do you advise?" "I never advise; people must make up their minds for themselves." Then, as though it were an after-thought: "What sort of pictures are they?" "There are a Corot, a Mauve, and a Daubigny, I believe. The Corot is said to be a particularly good one."
"Ladies and genelmen," he said he always added the gentleman as if they were an after-thought "you are mos' fortunate, mos' locky. Tout Paris all the folks are still driving their 'orse an' carriage 'ere. One week more the style will be all gone what you say vamoosed? Every mother's son! An' Cook's excursion party won't see nothin' but ole cabs goin' along!"
Twelve o'clock dinner at the Tubbses' was a very respectable meal, with roasts and vegetables to which you could devote some skill and energy. But supper was more like an after-thought, a sort of afternoon tea without the wrist-watch conversation.
"It is lovely," she exclaimed, fervently, in a whisper, "lovely. And only a generation of blind-worms," was her after-thought, "could discern in it the slightest resemblance to the drop-scene of a theatre." Big, humorous, emotional, imperious, but, above all, interested and sociable Lady Blanchemain: do you know her, I wonder? Her billowy white hair?
Lastly, these piers correspond in width with his buttresses on the north side of the choir. The piers indeed are carried up, with a 'straight joint' on either side, above the springing of the arches, and the latter are constructed as if they had been let into the piers as an after-thought.
