From its hanging nest, with brilliant flashes of orange and jet, a Baltimore oriole came and went about its housekeeping affairs. As half-consciously and dreamily he gazed up, between sleeping and waking, the life of the tree became for him that of a world in miniature.
There were rugs on the marble pavement, and chairs and tables; and on the tables, besides vases with flowers, and other things, there were a good many books. It was an old, small book, in tree-calf, stamped, in the midst of much elaborate gold tooling, with the Valdeschi arms and coronet. Half-consciously examining it, he became aware presently that it was a volume of the poems of Ronsard.
He looked at her rather hard, for there was decision in her tone and he was not dull. She was very attractive; he liked her thoughtful expression and her gentle firmness. Half-consciously he compared her with the highly polished, clever woman, who had at first fascinated him, and his appreciation of the girl grew stronger. Mrs.
Then she had thought that, with very quiet black clothes, she could go anywhere, but her mother had discovered that she sometimes came back from the Girls' Club in Bermondsey as late as ten o'clock at night, and there had been a fuss. Rose had forgotten the fact that she was very fair and very good to look at; she found, half-consciously, that her beauty had its drawbacks.
There God prepares the verdict that shall determine the wisdom of our work to-night. Life of J.A. Garfield, by R. H. Conwell, p. 328.

The golden dreams he had been nursing oh, impossible! It was unbearable! He put both hands to his head and walked across the room. He paused half-consciously before a small closet partly hidden in the wall. With an instinctive movement, he touched a spring and the door slid back. He drew from the cupboard thus revealed two bottles and a glass and returned to seat himself at the table.
They walked homeward through the swirling flakes in silence. That was one reason why Missy enjoyed being with her father she could be so companionably silent with him. She trudged along beside him, half-consciously trying to match his stride, while her thoughts flew far afield. But presently father spoke. "He's very eloquent, isn't he?" "He? who?" She struggled to get her thoughts back home.
Rachel had thought at first that his fits of brooding restlessness came from a memory of Anna. But phrases he had blurted cut half-consciously had given her a sense of their causes. The thought of Anna had died in him. Neither consciousness of her suffering nor memory of the years they had lived together had yet awakened in him.
Meanwhile, the existence of the Indian problem loosens half-consciously his grip upon democratic principle in matters nearer home.
Therefore, I'm afraid it might affect us badly in the future if we administer too severe a punishment on the strength of what has been shown on the surface. As they are youngsters, full of life and vigor, they might half-consciously commit some youthful pranks, without due regard as to their good or bad.
