He demanded, rather sternly, who we were, and was answered by my black conductor in tones no less consequential than his own. The door immediately edged up, to prevent as much as possible the light from shining out, and we squeezed ourselves in with a gentle and noiseless step, although there was no person near who could be alarmed by the loudest sound of our bare feet upon the marble floor.
The chaste-tree blossoms, and the grapes grow ripe; Or that the little protuberances in the candle-snuff thicken the air and make it cloudy; or the hookedness of the nails is the cause and not an accident consequential to an ulcer.
If the myriad details of this new-world migration could be summarized with like genius, we should have a drama to put beside the exodus of Israel from Egypt and their conquest of Canaan a drama, less picturesque and highly colored than that of the flight of the Tartars their Oriental costumes, their fierce horses, their camels and tents, showing, unhidden of tree against the snowy or sandy desert but infinitely more consequential in the history of the human race.
This body- servant was a very fine specimen of the average coast negro sleek, well-conditioned, and consequential disposed to regard with undisguised contempt everything and everybody not indigenous to the rice-growing region and he paraded around the streets with quite a curious and critical air.

The subjection in which his father had brought him up had given him originally great humility of manner; but it was now a good deal counteracted by the self-conceit of a weak head, living in retirement, and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected prosperity.
Thither came Lucien Bonaparte, at that time twenty-four years of age, bombastic and consequential, and fell in love with his beautiful hostess, as everybody else did. But Madame Récamier, with all her fascinations, was not a woman of passion; nor did she like the brother of the powerful First Consul, and politely rejected his addresses.
Granville, indulges his taste whenever he thinks he can do so without fear of detection. To the servants he makes himself very offensive by assuming consequential airs and a lordly bearing, which excites their hearty dislike. He is making his way across the lawn at this moment. He is dressed in clothes of the finest material and the most fashionable cut.
