"My dear, I can not understand you. You are very inconsequential. It does you a great deal of harm. And you wish to run through Europe with whom? With a Bohemian, a drunkard that man Choulette." She replied that she should travel with Madame Marmet, in which there could be nothing objectionable.
I do not recall the conversation, but it was one of those inconsequential talks that Bohemians consider so brilliant and everybody else so vapid.
After advocating the establishment of "an institution of practical psychology from whence there can be graduated fit and proper people whose efforts would be in the direction of the subconscious mental mechanism of the child or even the adult," this hypnotist proceeds: "Between the academician, whose specialty is an inconsequential cobweb, the medical man who has got it into his head that he is the logical foster-father for psychonomical matters, and the blatant 'professor' who deals with monkey tricks on a few somnambules on the music-hall stage, you are allowing to go unrecognized one of the most potent factors of mental development."
He carried through the preliminary questions very well for a pseudo-doctor, appealing to me as his assistant on inconsequential things that enabled me to "save my face" perfectly. When he came to the critical moment of opening the black bag, he made a very appropriate and easy remark about not having brought any sharp shiny instruments or nasty black drugs.
A change had passed over Dibbs's face it was slightly paler, but his voice was genial and inconsequential. "Come and sit down at the Point," she said. They went to a cliff which ran out from one corner of the garden, and sat down on a bench.

Whatever its origin, whether it stands in the relation of cause or effect, it is an indulgence that insidiously takes the snap and sparkle out of life and leaves us for the time being colorless and weak.
Then again, he is thy father! He gave thee life, thou art his flesh and blood and therefore he must be sacred to thee! Again a most inconsequential deduction! I should like to know why he begot me; certainly not out of love for me for I must first have existed! Could he know me before I had being, or did he think of me during my begetting? or did he wish for me at the moment?
Of course, the Central and South American countries, taken separately, are inconsequential, and that is true, too, of the Latin countries of Europe, except France, but taken in combination, under one directing mind, the allied navies would be would be formidable, at least. Backed by the moral support of Germany, and perhaps Japan ! Don't you see? Don't you see?" He lapsed into silence. Mr.
Pain and sorrow may invest the conditions of the moment, but they are forces which are transmuting the inconsequential into the significant; the common and trivial into the exalted and the sublime.
