In a rather low-class farce which I saw in a Chicago theatre, two men wandered through the action, with the charming irrelevance characteristic of American popular drama, attired, one as John Bull, the other as Brother Jonathan. There came a point in the action where some one had to be kicked out of the house.
"What country was so fortunate as to secure your aid?" airily inquired Blanchard. "Where's Kamchatka?" asked Clancy, with seeming irrelevance. "Why, off Siberia somewhere in the Arctic regions," somebody answered, doubtfully. "I thought that was the cold one," said Clancy, with a satisfied nod. "I'm always gettin' the two names mixed. 'Twas Guatemala, then the hot one I've been filibusterin' with.
"I like to see men stick it through in college if they begin. I like to see people finish up every one of life’s jobs that they set out on." "But I’m coming to see you in town, you know," he went on with great apparent irrelevance. She laughed merrily. "Yes, surely. You must promise me that.—No," she stopped and looked thoughtful, "I’ll tell you what I want you to promise me.
How do you know you'll have a place to plant a garden?" Betty buttered another roll. "I'm not planning for a garden," she said mildly. "You're going to help me plant these seeds, and we're going to do it right after breakfast just as soon as we can get out on the observation platform." Bob stared in bewilderment. "I read a story once," said Betty with seeming irrelevance.
To which he added with an irrelevance that was only superficial: "I come from Woollett Massachusetts." It made her for some reason the irrelevance or whatever laugh. Balzac had described many cities, but hadn't described Woollett Massachusetts. "You say that," she returned, "as if you wanted one immediately to know the worst."
"Mickleham's not a bad fellow." "One of the best fellows alive," I agreed. "I wonder why she married him, though," mused George; and he added, with apparent irrelevance, "It's a dashed bore, going up." And then a smile spread over his face; a blush accompanied it, and proclaimed George's sense of delicious wickedness. I turned on him. "Out with it!" I said. "It's nothing.
The pleasure we get from the rhetoric of the book of Job and its tragic picture of a bewildered soul cannot disguise the ignoble irrelevance of the retort of God with which it closes, or supply the need of such modern revelations as Shelley's Prometheus or The Niblung's Ring of Richard Wagner.
Seymour?" she said with apparent irrelevance. "I don't like catching them, Miss Wilton," he admitted ruefully. "Oh, I mean eating them! We were talking about your appetite, were we not? Well, Dinah devils them deliciously. I 'll have some done for you," she continued with suspicious innocence.
"Your mother," he remarked, with apparent irrelevance, "is such an unreasonable woman; if she were like you if she saw things sensibly. But she won't, she'll make a fuss; she will entirely overlook the fact that it is my own money that I have lost." "I am afraid she will," Julia agreed. "Will you tell me if you lost any one else's money as well?"
Despite the irrelevance there was assent as well as irritation in Valentin's face as he lifted his head. "Quite right," he remarked sharply. "Ivan, go and see about Mr. Brayne again, and bring him here at once." The instant the factotum had closed the door, Valentin addressed the girl with an entirely new earnestness.
