It was curious to see how a keen, clever man like Prince Hohenlohe attached so much importance to anything that Blowitz said. The nuncio, Monseigneur Czaski, came too sometimes at tea-time. He was a charming talker, but I always felt as if he were saying exactly what he meant to and what he wanted me to repeat to W. I am never quite sure with Italians.
The stone pyramids of that group, which may be older, furnish a curious variation from the usual type. The sloping passage ends in a vertical shaft, at the bottom of which open chambers now filled by the infiltration of the Nile. The pyramids of Illahûn and Hawara, which contained the remains of Ûsertesen II. and Amenemhat III., are of the same type as those at Lisht.
There the green and creamy coloured tram-car seems to pause and purr with curious satisfaction. But in a few minutes the clock on the turret of the Co-operative Wholesale Society's Shops gives the time away it starts once more on the adventure.
They carried him home, and when Adelaide saw the poor disfigured body of her husband she was so overcome with horror and grief that she fell into a fever from which she never recovered. She had always been rather delicate and subject to curious attacks, during which no one knew whether she was awake or sleeping. And so two months after Tobias had been carried to the grave, his wife followed him.
The position now accorded to the heaven-god in the new Stoic system is so curious and interesting that we must dwell on it for a moment. He is the one universal causal agent, from whom all the forces of nature are derived; or he may be called, in language which would be intelligible to the ordinary Roman, the universal Genius.
Rochester, I may as well mention another matter of business to you while I have the opportunity." "Matter of business? I am curious to hear it." "You have as good as informed me, sir, that you are going shortly to be married?" "Yes; what then?" "In that case, sir, Adele ought to go to school: I am sure you will perceive the necessity of it."
The arch of the ceiling seemed like a stone sky. There were so many pillars to keep up this roof, that, when we first went in, we could not see any end to the church at all. However, we walked along, and after a while we came to the end. "There were a great many curious things to see in the church," continued Rollo.
The first thing of which Kirk was conscious was a long, swinging motion, unlike the short roll of the Dutchman. There was also a complex creaking and sighing, a rustling and rattling. There was a most curious, half-disagreeable, half-fascinating smell.
"Wasn't it lots o' fun, Jasie?" "Shore!" was the absent-minded answer, for Jason was looking at the strangeness of the night. It was curious not to see the big bulks of the mountains and to see so many stars. In the mountains he had to look straight up to see stars at all and now they hung almost to the level of his eyes. "How's the folks?" asked Mavis. "Stirrin'. Air ye goin' to school up here?"
After we had watched them for some time, I pulled Paddy's arm, and got him, not unwillingly, to retire from the scene. "Arrah, Misther Godfrey," he said, "sure they're curious crathurs, them black nagurs; and I confess, your honour, when I first saw them, that I felt nigh ready to sink into the ground and turn into a skeleton myself!
