His presence in the house had, however, quite restored Miss Lucy to a normal condition of mind, for he had treated the curious bell-ringing as a trivial matter, easily explainable by the expert he had summoned, if not by himself; and he found the trio discussing the proposed sleigh-ride that Miss Lucy wanted to give the friends of her new charge. "A sleigh-ride! For all the newsboys in town!
One must be such a man as Sagnier to picture a parliament as an open market, where every conscience is for sale and is impudently knocked down to the highest bidder. Oh! things happened in a very different way indeed; and they are explainable, and at times even excusable.
The mystery of the apparently occult methods of communication among the natives of India, between whom, it is said, news flies by means too strange and subtle to be humanly explainable, is no more difficult a problem to solve than that of the lightning rapidity with which a knowledge of the transpiring of any new local event darts through the slowest, and, as far as outward signs go, the least communicative English village slumbering drowsily among its pastures and trees.
It was not explainable that what she had written did not matter at all, that James should have made no reply. "I was awake all night," she added. "That must not go on," he said. "I was thinking and thinking," nervously. "I can see that," was his answer. Perhaps she ought to have courage to say nothing. It might be safer.
Some derangement of the system easily explainable, no doubt, if one but held the clue must have produced the impression which otherwise it would be impossible to explain.

If she did not love him her conduct would be readily explainable; but that she was in love with him, and very much in love with him, he had increasing evidence every day.
But what do other people matter now? You're going to marry Ormsby, I understand." Dora looked down, and her hand trembled in his as she sought for words to explain a situation which was hardly explainable. "Well you see Dick they told me you were dead. We all gave you up as a lost hero." "Yet, before the grass had grown over my supposed grave, you were ready to transfer your love to that cad."
It is also partly explainable by the absence in Prussia of an old tradition of refinement and culture. As Bismarck once said cynically and frankly to Thiers: “Mon cher ami! The Prussian, therefore, in diplomacy is a blunderer and a bully. He has the art of making himself unpleasant. And he seems to enjoy doing so.
It is there and has lost its old use, and is, in some cases, adapted to another purpose; that is all that can be said. Man is the one hairless mammal, or hairless except on a few parts of his body. Yet the whole body is covered with a thin growth of hair, useless for any purpose of protection, and only explainable as a survival from the mammalian covering.
