First, there was Johnny Spreen, the bound boy at the Trotter farm, and who had given them so many points concerning the swamp he knew so well. Just behind Johnny walked a consequential looking personage dressed in a blue uniform, and, with a glittering shield fastened on his left breast. Well did the Hickory Ridge boys know the Chief of Police in their own town.
"But I know he would," cried Bob, who spoke in the most consequential manner. "Your father is rough, but he is very good at bottom." "Why, of course he is," cried Bigley. "Then he wouldn't like us to be cheated out of our treat, so you get the mussels for the bait, and some worms, and let's go." Bigley hesitated.
I can confirm this by saying that his head of Featley really gives one an idea of that obstinate and consequential old divine. I only wish he had done Milton half as well. About Marshall's engraving of Milton see Mr. Mr.

Your Division room is steaming with foul heat, and there is a strong smell of burnt feathers and oil. A jaunty tutor with pug nose and consequential air steps into the room while you all rise to show him deference and takes his place at the pulpit-like desk.
I dare say Johnny thought the most of this commotion was made by his paddle. He was quite as consequential, in his way, as the fly who sat on a wagon-wheel, and said to the wagon, as it rattled down hill, "What a noise we make!" "We wouldn't put for the shore at all," continued Johnny, "if it wasn't for you girls."
It is to fix the associates of things, so that their respective transformations are collated, and they become significant of one another. In proportion as such understanding advances each moment of experience becomes consequential and prophetic of the rest. The calm places in life are filled with power and its spasms with resource.
Several old heads among the assemblage nodded their recognition of the wisdom of this question. The sheriff, however, saw nothing consequential in the inquiry; he answered, with simple directness "Indeed did she, your Majesty, and most righteously, as all aver.
