Men differed wonderfully in their nerve-resistance, and it was no question of difference in courage. In the mass all our soldiers seemed equally brave. In the mass they seemed astoundingly cheerful.
Her ancestral tendencies forbade: those and the doubts which centred in her son's other heritage, less orthodox and far, far less under the domination of the spiritual. Now and then the boy looked like his father, astoundingly like, and disturbingly. This was one of the times. Across his young enthusiasm, her answer fell like a wet linen sheet. "But are you going to keep on?"
Colville had moved toward the door that led to his own room. He paused, examining the wick of the candle he carried in his hand. Then, though glib of speech, he decided in favour of silence, and went away without making reply. Loo sat down in a grey old arm-chair in front of the fire. The house was astoundingly noiseless, though situated in what had once been the heart of Paris.
Then the shark's jaws opened astoundingly wide, like a pair of industrial shears, and that would have been the finish of Captain Nemo had not Ned Land, quick as thought, rushed forward with his harpoon and driven its dreadful point into the shark's underside. The waves were saturated with masses of blood.
It is natural to assume that man, being tempted by Satan, would fall from the same sin, though the occasion, of his fall might be the less heroic sin of curiosity. Yes, I think that first chapter of Genesis, as an attempt to sum up the history of millions of years, is astoundingly complete. Have you ever thought how far by now the world would have grown away from God without the Incarnation?"
Her quick eyes darting along the platform to where Wilbur stood, she rushed to embrace him. "Where's the other one?" he demanded. Astoundingly she tripped back to the still emptying car and led forward none other than Edward Spike Brennon. He was in the uniform of a private and his eyes were hidden by dark glasses. Wilbur fell upon him.
You have the same eyes." It was a wonder she did not use the adjective "sweet"; for her tone clearly implied that she admired them. "I hear you are desperately and astoundingly clever," she continued, like the brook flowing on for ever. "They tell me your pamphlet on vivisection was quite masterly. How proud you must be, Mrs. Purling, to hear such civil things said of his books!"
But I must confess that both these hypotheses strike me as so astoundingly improbable, so devoid of a shred of either scientific or traditional support, that even if there were no other evidence than that of palaeontology in its favour, I should feel compelled to adopt the hypothesis of evolution. Happily, the future of palaeontology is independent of all hypothetical considerations.
Then things happened, but that which immediately followed was not a fight; it was not even a spar. The ratel never moved, although he was moved astoundingly. The gnu bull did the moving, and produced the most amazing bit of violent activity one could dream of. It was quite indescribable. A buck-jumping mustang of the most hustling kind would have been as a gentle lamb to it.
And the horse pricked his ears in a newfound gladness in service and friendship that his nature could not yet comprehend. Youth is elastic, and Van was young. An hour of quiet riding restored him astoundingly. He bore no signs of fatigue that Beth could detect upon his face.
