Moreover Mimi was a secret which would have to be divulged, and this secret not only weighed heavy within him, but seemed disturbingly to counterbalance the secrets that Charlie was withholding.
She was disturbingly pretty in her evening gown. There were cigarettes on a little table at his elbow, and he lighted one at her suggestion and puffed feebly. "Which?" she inquired smilingly. He understood: "Irish, please." "Hot?" "Thank you, yes," When the butler had brought it, the young man began to regret the Racquet Club less violently. "It's horribly cold out," he said.
"I must be frank with you, professor. I saw whom that envelope was addressed to just now." "Nor need we quarrel about that." But Queed's steady gaze upon him presently grew unbearable, and at last the old man raised his head. "Well? Whom was it addressed to?" Queed felt disturbingly sorry for him, and, in the same thought, admired his iron control.
It certainly did not wish to be disturbed by them, and at this moment of the exciting Irish deadlock the Wilhelmstrasse, the Ball Platz, the Quai d'Orsay and similar stupid, meaningless and unpronounceable places intruded themselves disturbingly in British homes, much as the writing on the wall vexatiously disturbed Belshazzar's feast, and were similarly resented.

An owl of late habits would have been almost companionable.

"These horrible circumstances," said Otto, "have robbed me of the cheerfulness of my youth. They thrust themselves disturbingly into my whole future.

It was, however, full of typographical traces of himself and his family. The description of the reception was disturbingly journalistic, which adjective, for Mr. Prohack, unfortunately connoted the adjective vulgar.
Yet in this strangeness Lilla found a disturbingly familiar quality, like an echo of something lost, a vague and diminished reapparition of an old ideal.
