Apropos of the wine-god, Colonel Burr, do not fail to tie up your boat at Bacchus Island, you and Mr. Arlington, and call on my friends the Blennerhassetts. Harman Blennerhassett is an agreeable man, though peculiar, and his wife is charming." "A fine woman, is she?" responded Burr. "Both beautiful and opulent. A sultana, sir!"
"I'm thinking about one R.F.C.," came back Riggs reflectively, "just like the rest of you." "Well," sounded the dry voice of Birch, "so am I. And all this is very apropos.

But who? That was the rub. Also, without being actually positive, it struck him a great field was to be opened up in the line of opening up new routes to keep pace with the times apropos of the Fishguard-Rosslare route which, it was mooted, was once more on the tapis in the circumlocution departments with the usual quantity of red tape and dillydallying of effete fogeydom and dunderheads generally.
