Amid the secret desolation of a life which however was not without love, amid her vain regrets for an irrecoverable youth and her horror of the approach of age, amid the empty lassitudes which apparently were all that remained of the excitement caused by Arthur Twemlow's presence, Leonora found a mournful and sweet pleasure in imagining that she had a son.
That first glorious, irrecoverable hour when love had come into its own was past, and the consideration of things mundane was forcing itself on their notice more especially consideration of their particular plight. "It looks rather as though we may have to spend the night here," observed Quarrington, his eyes scanning the channel void of any welcome sight of sail or funnel.
The morning glory of this view from Montepulciano, though irrecoverable by words, abides in the memory, and draws one back by its unique attractiveness.
All Pierre's daydreams now turned on the time when he would be free. Yet subsequently, and for the rest of his life, he thought and spoke with enthusiasm of that month of captivity, of those irrecoverable, strong, joyful sensations, and chiefly of the complete peace of mind and inner freedom which he experienced only during those weeks.

It was from the family lawyer in Glasgow, informing him that the bank in which his uncle had deposited the proceeds of his sale of the land, was in a state of absolute and irrecoverable collapse; there was not the slightest hope of retrieving any portion of the wreck. Alister did not jump up and pace the room in the rage of disappointment; neither did he sit as one stunned and forlorn of sense.
It will be well for those to whom the Reformation is still a matter of astonishment to read those pages, and consider what manner of man he was, in spite of all pretended divine authority, under whose rule the Romish system received its irrecoverable wound. But of all these figures, not excepting Henry's own, Wolsey stands out as the most grand and tragical; and Mr. Mr. Peace be with him!
I doubt if any statue of king or captain in the public places of the world has more to commend it to the general heart. Irrecoverable simplicity residing so in irrecoverable Style has no sturdier representative.
Had independence been delayed a few months longer, this continent would have been plunged into irrecoverable confusion: some violent for it, some against it, till, in the general cabal, the rich would have been ruined, and the poor destroyed.
