"Better to be the slave of a parent than a husband," she continued. "I'd lock him out," retorted Gabriel, with pure irrelevancy; "I'd scotch his sheets; I'd pour water in his boots; I'd sift sand in his hair-brush; I'd spatter vitriol on his shirts. A man who marries a woman deserves nothing better."
When they left the table, he made haste to join the Elmores in the reading-room, where he contrived, with creditable skill, to get Lily apart from them for the examination of an illustrated newspaper, at which neither of them looked; they remained chatting and laughing over it in entire irrelevancy till the elderly lady rose and said, "Herbert, Herbert!
He was a scholar and what made her admire him was the fact that all his learning did not keep him from dressing well and being as fair as an angel. "For pretty teeth, look at Monteverde's," she would say, looking at him in the crowded room, through her lorgnette. At other times, following the course of her ideas, she would interrupt the conversation, without noticing the irrelevancy of her words.
September 9th I have been looking in the dictionary for the English word for Einquartierung, because that is what is happening to us just now, but I can find nothing satisfactory. My dictionary merely says the quartering, soldiers quartered, and then relapses into irrelevancy; so that it is obvious English people do without the word for the delightful reason that they have not got the thing.
Erda rises to most mysterious music, counsels Wotan to surrender the Ring, and sinks down again to her sleep; and one forgets the irrelevancy in the thrill of this vision of the Mother Earth, the spirit that sleeps amongst the everlasting hills. Finally the composer gets his great chance, and shows that, like Handel and his own Donner, he "could strike like a thunderbolt."
"No; I can't!" Miss Fox said briefly. "Tell everyone that I'm lying down with a terrible headache, won't you?" "But why?" asked Susan. For the headache was obviously a fiction. "You know that mustard-colored linen with the black embroidery that Dolly's worn once or twice, don't you?" asked Connie, with apparent irrelevancy. Susan nodded, utterly at a loss.
To secure these things which most men make the entire objective of their lives is, or should be, an irrelevancy to the man of exceptional gifts. This means an enormous handicap for him.
But he forgave the irrelevancy by taking no notice of it, and by doing full justice to that particular dish. Nevertheless, he asked several questions based upon these recently discovered qualities. It appeared that in the old days of her wanderings with the circus troupe she had often been forced to undertake this nomadic housekeeping.
Such inexcusable perversion of a writer's meaning for an evanescent political object and a very shabby object too is enough to make one think that George III. knew what he was talking about, when he once delivered himself of the saying that "Politics are a trade for a rascal, not for a gentleman." Let me cite another more grotesque piece of irrelevancy with a similar drift.
Shall I have time to get any thing ready? Isn't Sophie invited too? How strange it all seems! I can hardly realize it, somehow. From whom is the letter?" "Can you remember when you were about nine years old?" inquired the professor. "I don't know, I am sure," replied Cornelia, in some surprise at the irrelevancy of the question. "Nothing particular.
