The cigarettes were sufficient for a considerable time beyond customary. Something of his appetite had gone; the periods of half wakeful slumber in his chair drew out through whole evenings. The actual world retreated; his memories, as bright as ever, became a little confused; the years, figures, mingled incongruously; famous arias were transposed to operas in which they had not been sung.
Folliott's arms and into Florence Ash's, these forces seemed to feel their impatience ebb and their discretion suddenly grow. His companion was talking again, but just then, incongruously, made his need to communicate lose itself. It was as if his personal case had already been touched by some tender hand and that, after all, was the modest limit of its greed.
"One of those little angels shoots me, it's just a cute little prank, and we oughtn't to frown on the little darling when it's just trying to express its dear little personality, or we might give it complexes, or something," he falsettoed incongruously. "And if the little darling's mistake doesn't kill me outright and I shoot back, people talk about King Herod!"
The military system under which everything was conducted the bugle-call, followed by the music of a very good band, at reveille; the light, animated strains for "sick-call," and soon after for "breakfast;" the longer ceremony of "guard-mounting;" the "Old English Roast-Beef," to announce the dinner-hour; the sweet, plaintive strains of "Lochaber no more," followed most incongruously by "The Little Cock-Sparrow," at retreat; and, finally, the long, rolling "tattoo," late in the evening made pleasant divisions of our time, which, by the aid of books, music, and drawing, in addition to household occupations, seemed to fly more swiftly than ever before.
There he stopped, and his hand swept around behind his back and turned the key in the locked door. He nodded at the two men, whose faces were working with incongruously mingled expressions of impotent rage, bewilderment, fear, and fury and opened the door a little. "Ten minutes, Weasel," he said gently.
He uses twelve in the first scene, some of whom he has no occasion for but to bring forward the character of his hero; but they are all individualized while he employs them. The scene he has fixed upon; this is present to his mind's eye; and as he cannot afterwards alter it without making his characters talk incongruously and being compelled to rewrite the whole, he writes it down thus:
You know, it may come out any day, and then we're done for," he rather incongruously appended. Richard only took up the business-thread of his friend's rambling chatter, and answered: "You've got nothing to do with it, if we are." "Haven't I, though! I didn't stick-in the box but I'm an accomplice, that's clear.
Society, it is true, professed to move on lofty moral planes, but this was a colossal pretension and nothing less. Society and this is a truth which held equally strong of succeeding decades was incongruously inverted.
Mean to say, neat, don't you know," came incongruously from the lips of Reddy Lennigan, whose father ran the Lennigan House on Outagamie Street. He spatted his large hands delicately together in further expression of approval. "Think so?" giggled his opponent, Mr. Dutchy Meisenberg. "Aw fly sweet of you to say so, old thing."
She looked at him then; she turned her beautiful eyes to his face, and at sight of them Jimmy caught his breath hard. "Oh, Christine!" he said almost in a whisper. His thoughts sped back incongruously to a day in the years that had gone; when he and she had been children together down in the country at Upton House.
