A certain optimistic inconsequence is his chief characteristic, as if he really believed that the hours bore more of happiness than of sorrow to the world. There is no limit to the originality and the symbolic messages of the Gothic grotesques.
Little by little it looms up. It has been looming for you more and more till at last you see it all." "I see it all," he absently echoed, while his eyes might have been fixing some particularly large iceberg in a cool blue northern sea. "It's magnificent!" he then rather oddly exclaimed. But his friend, who was used to this kind of inconsequence in him, kept the thread.
Davies is almost a propagandist in his feeling for and admiration of the ultra-modern movement. Miller is a questioner and ponders long upon every point of consequence or inconsequence. He is a metaphysical analyst which is perhaps the extraneous element in his painting.
The country around has a long history of well-sounding family names as native as its hills they arrived together, or thereabouts and the lodge gates on its highways, with their weathered and mossy heraldic devices, have a way of acquainting you with the measure of your inconsequence as you pass them when walking. Torhaven has no poverty.
The totality of my mental impressions of what I heard from these two and other members of this incredible deputation of insurgent mutineers and of what I saw of the doings of the whole deputation, was vague and confused.

And did she also produce certificates as to her moral character? Or is fibbing merely bad form nowadays?" With swift inconsequence, the girl shifted to the other side of the discussion. "Of course, this may be a first attack." "Of course," Weldon assented gravely. But again she shifted her ground.
"What the deuce are you doing?" he asked in tones that betrayed a certain amount of trepidation not unmixed with vague horror. "Evicting the late tenant," Mr. Cumshaw grinned with cheerful inconsequence. "Why?" There was more than a question in the quick monosyllable. It contained also a hint of protest.
And so it went on, and Ralph began to grow weary of the inconsequence of the debaters, and their entire inability to hold to the salient points; but he still kept his hand on the rudder of the discussion, avoided the fogs of the supernatural and religious on the one side towards which the little old man persisted in pushing, and, on the other, the blunt views of the butcher and the man who had told the foul stories; and contented himself with watching and learning the opinion of the company rather than contributing his own.
