Ten men on that protected platform, he thought, might suffer from the sun, but they could hold the building and command a good-sized section of the city ramparts against all comers. He noticed too, though that seemed immaterial at the time, that one well-aimed shot from heavy ordnance might crash through the upper dome and set off the powder underneath.
What can the local discounts of the bank have to do with the collecting, safe-keeping, and disbursing of the revenue? So far as the mere discounting of paper is concerned, it is quite immaterial to this question whether the discount is obtained at a State bank or a United States bank. They are both equally local, both beginning and both ending in a local accommodation.
If the past, having founded the present, ceased to matter so would the present to the future which would mean that all would be immaterial. "Remember me? Sabai dee mai?" said the woman to both men. "Khrap. Sabai dee" Nawin said. "This is Nawin Biadklang, a nice enough Thai, I suppose," said the Laotian to his sister.
That authority is what theologians term the Will of God; others, the life force, the immaterial principle, the common unconscious, or whatever you will. When I, along with all the academic robots whom you admire, denied that authority, we did not make ourselves, as we thought, men of pure science, but, on the contrary, by deposing one master we invited in a horde of others.
Obviously such fancies are purely of mythologic parentage. Now the luminiferous ether, upon which our authors make such extensive demands, may be physically "ethereal" enough, in spite of the enormous elasticity which leads Professor Jevons to characterize it as "adamantine"; but most assuredly we have not the slightest reason for speaking of it as "immaterial" or "spiritual."
I fear that there can be no question that he had prior acquaintance with these men, and that he was cognizant of the whole business; something I heard him say, and which, to my regret, I shall have to repeat in court, almost proves that he was so. Still, let us hope none of the stolen property will be found upon him; whether they had intended to pass it over to his care or not is immaterial.
For the best class of rugs those which include beauty as well as usefulness, and which will consequently bring a much larger price if sold it is quite worth while to buy cheap muslins and calicoes; and as quality that is, coarseness or fineness is perfectly immaterial, it is possible to buy them at from four to five cents per yard.
It seemed to be quite immaterial to his stepmother. Or was he wrong? She was looking quite pale all at once, positively distraught. He must be wrong, she took it, no doubt, just as much to heart as he did. He felt sorry that he had wronged her if only in thought, and held out his hand to her with a good-natured laugh. "Well, what do you say to breaking the old man of this bad habit in good time?
You do not suppose that I take any especial pleasure in forcing you? But you leave me no other method." "I am a young girl, and he is an old man." "That is immaterial. Besides, the fact has gone abroad. It is now irrevocable." "I promise to go out and ask the first man I see to marry me!" she declared. "Pray Heaven, it may be Doppelkinn!" said the duke drolly.
Sometimes a battery would come driving down to the shore, select an advantageous spot, and begin an afternoon's target practice at the hostile camp; but the damage done was immaterial, and after wasting much powder and shot the recruits would limber up their guns and return to their camp.
