"What a charming pedestal you have placed yourself upon, Jack," said Blanch, seating herself beside Mrs. Forest. "Perhaps," returned the Captain dryly, "but of one thing I am certain. Few people are better prepared to speak on this matter than I am." "What an interesting lot we women must be in your eyes," broke in Bessie, digressing from the subject. Captain Forest smiled.
Am I really digressing? My theme is a trip on a great river. Well, kindness and nature are not so far apart, let us believe. Now this ranch-house looked hospitable; there was no mistaking it. Wherefore I deduce that the spirit of the inhabitants must pierce through and emanate from the senseless walls like an effluvium.
I offer this precedent as an excuse for digressing at a moment when I have burned down a small settlement, dispatched a fellow being, and left my heroine alone in the company of an escaped convict who has just developed insanity as a new social quality.
Digressing down to the coast of Essex, on the North Sea, we find at the confluence of the Stour and Orwell the best harbor on that side of England, bordered by the narrow and old-fashioned streets of the ancient seaport of Harwich. Here vast fleets seek shelter in easterly gales behind the breakwater that is run out from the Beacon Hill.

But I am digressing the one vice which, unfortunately for us, we never indulged or condoned at the time of my arrival in London.
"We are digressing," the senator from New York interrupted. "As I understand it, we are concerned with the present rather than the past." "I am glad you realize that," Gorham responded, "for it has a considerable bearing upon the situation.
I know better than to trust a clever man. An honest fool But I am digressing from the case in point. I have never trusted anybody all my life, so you may feel honored. I have a small parcel which I want you to take to England for me. Here it is." His long lean hands went searching in his dressing-gown, and presently produced an old brown bag, held together at the neck by a string.
But no digressing! I have looked far away from the physiognomy of the fortress. Let us turn to the The face of this county, Elizabeth City by name, is as flat as a Chinaman's. I can hardly wonder that the people here have retrograded, or rather, not advanced. This dull flat would make anybody dull and flat. I am no longer surprised at John Tyler.
