"Did you wish to look at the house, madam?" he asked "Yes, sir," said Mrs. Brice. "Allow me to open it for you," he said, graciously taking the key from her. "I fear that you will find it inconvenient and incommodious, ma'am. I should be fortunate, indeed, to get a good tenant." He fitted the key in the door, while Stephen and his mother smiled at each other at the thought of the rent.
She made you know what she meant as if she had the gift of speech: at most inconvenient moments you would go out through the house to find her a bit of fish or to open the cellar door.
Norton was lodged in a French house on the east side of the lake, at what is now called Chimney Point; and one day his guardian, De Muy, either thinking to impress him with the strength of the place, or with an amusing confidence in the minister's incapacity for making inconvenient military observations, invited him to visit the fort.
"It's quite obvious that it would be much easier to nurse him here," I said, "but of course it would be very inconvenient. I have an idea that someone will have to be with him day and night." "My love, it's not you who would shirk a little trouble." "If he comes here, I shall go," said Mrs. Stroeve violently. "I don't recognize you. You're so good and kind."

Although not entirely satisfied with the course pursued by Mexico, I felt no hesitation in receiving in the most conciliatory spirit the explanation offered, and also cheerfully consented to a new convention, in order to arrange the payments proposed to be made to our citizens in a manner which, while equally just to them, was deemed less onerous and inconvenient to the Mexican Government.
"But how does he come to be up there?" said Donn, humour-struck, and nodding to the ceiling. "Don't ask inconvenient questions, Father. What we've to do is to keep him here till he and I are as we were." "How was that?" "Married." "Ah... Well it is the rummest thing I ever heard of marrying an old husband again, and so much new blood in the world! He's no catch, to my thinking.
