I cancelled them, and entered the Navy instead.” “The Navy?” she asked, excusably bewildered by these rapid changes of occupation. “For five years I was never ashore.” “But,” she hesitated—“but you said you were in the Army.” Mr Beveridge gave her a look full of benignant compassion that made her, she did not quite know why, feel terribly abashed.
It resulted in his failure to perceive how complex is the mass of motives imbedded in the political act. The significance of herd instinct and the vast primitive deeps of the unconscious were alike hidden from him. All this is of defect; and yet excusably.
If sailors might have coffee instead of rum, they would thankfully accept the substitute, for coffee is incomparably a better stimulant. The invigoration from rum is only momentary, and afterwards is perhaps rather pernicious; but the wholesome effect of coffee is felt for an hour. So they very excusably observe, 'Better grog than nothing!
By all but George, who was excusably undemonstrative, the two new arrivals were greeted with customary cordiality. "Why, Mr. Stanninghame, it seems quite a long time since we saw you last," said Mrs. Falkner, as they were all seated out on the stoep. "What have you been doing with yourself?" "The usual thing studying the share market, and talking about it."
I know indeed that men, wearied by the pettiness of the details of the strife, their patience tried by hope deferred, will at whiles, excusably enough, turn back in their hearts to other days, when if the issues were not clearer, the means of trying them were simpler; when, so stirring were the times, one might even have atoned for many a blunder and backsliding by visibly dying for the cause.

We are tempted here to recall some of our own reminiscences of old china, which the impatient reader may excusably skip for more serious matter.

But, of course, there is a certain superficial intimacy about the attitude of a man who is taking a fly out of a woman's eye which may excusably jar upon the sensibilities of his wife. It is an attitude which suggests a sort of rapprochement or camaraderie or, as Archie would have put it, what not. "Thanks so much!" said Miss Silverton. "Oh no, rather not," said Archie.

She had said hurriedly: "Please excuse me not coming with you.
Foreman compositors, advertisement clerks, and other members of the non-editorial staff, who had, of course, taken no part in the great trek, found it as impossible to get into direct communication with the editor and his satellites now that they had returned as when they had been excusably inaccessible in Central Asia.
