The different sorts of birds which sing among the branches seem to me to exceed those of the Zambesi region, but I do not shoot them: the number of new notes I hear astonishes me. The country in which we now are is called by the Arabs and natives Ulungu, that farther north-west is named Marunga. The chief sent a man to Kasonso lately, and he having received a present went away highly pleased.
What astonishes me is that this enormous mass of commonplace verse, which burdens the postman who brings it, which it is a serious task only to get out of its wrappers and open in two or three places, is on the whole of so good an average quality. The dead level of mediocrity is in these days a table-land, a good deal above the old sea-level of laboring incapacity.
And now, after she has been cast off, despised, and denounced by you and your son, you are bound to come to her with thanks, if not to implore her pardon." "Sir," answered the countess, "you have forgotten yourself in a manner which astonishes me, and must astonish all who hear you; and henceforth, I beg you to understand"
But she forthwith becomes Baroness Umfraville in her own right, astonishes the world with her beauty and accomplishments when she bursts upon it from her mansion in Spring Gardens, and, as you foresee, will presently come into contact with the unseen objet aimé. Perhaps the words “prime minister” suggest to you a wrinkled or obese sexagenarian; but pray dismiss the image.

The first thing that each woman did, the moment she could get her hands free, was to dash for the nearest window and haul it down. "Astonishes me," said the first woman, "that somebody is not dead in this carriage." Their idea, I think, was that through asphyxiation we had become comatose, and, but for their entrance, would have died unconscious.
To say "You have loved" almost obliges them to ask "Whom?" Nevertheless, this was not the word uttered by Mademoiselle de Guerchi while she ran through in her head a list of possibilities. Her answer was "Your language astonishes me; I don't understand what you mean." The ice was broken, and the treasurer made a plunge. Seizing one of Angelique's hands, he asked
I reckon the whiskey at first cost, so that it doesn't come to more nor that at the very outside." "That is taking a commercial view of affliction, Connell; but you must promise me to give up drinking." "Why thin upon my credit, your honor astonishes me. Is it to give up banishin' grief?
You have inspired me with a feeling for you which astonishes myself. Ah, why should that love be the strongest which is the swiftest in its growth? I used to love Lord Borodaile: I now only esteem him; the love has flown to you. If I judge rightly from your words and your eyes, this avowal will not be unwelcome to you. Come and assure me, in person, of a persuasion so dear to my heart.
