Before she came up she commenced the action at a long range, and very abruptly for an effective rhetorician of Aunt Becky's sort, jumps at once, like a good epic poet, in medias res; and as Nutter, who, like all her friends in turn, experienced once or twice 'a taste of her quality, observed to his wife, 'by Jove, that woman says things for which she ought to be put in the watch-house. So now and here she maintained her reputation
He was thus carried immediately in medias res, and the curiosity of his co-mates being in a great degree satisfied at the time when that curiosity could not personally annoy him, the new-comer was, of course, much better prepared to make his way when the absence of the ruler became a signal for some oral communication with "the arrival."
An experience thus obtained, had given mine such a cast; and taught me, by many a well-remembered lesson, the truthfulness of that wise saw; "The more haste the less speed." Instead, therefore of rushing at once in medias res, and starting forth, without knowing whither to go, my counsel was that we should act with caution; and adopt some definite plan of pursuit.
"Remember that some of our horses are shod: the iron will betray us?" "No, senor, we shall muffle them: nos vamos con los pies en medias!" The idea was not new to me; and without further hesitation, we proceeded to carry it into execution.
And the writer is enabled, at any rate for a time, and till his neck has become, as it were, warm to the collar, to throw off from him the difficulties and dangers, the tedium and prolixity, of description. This rushing "in medias res" has doubtless the charm of ease.

"My daughter is in the habit of giving me her confidence," was the quiet reply.
Oh, the dreadful Old Man of the Sea, of the Sea! He's come back like the Wandering Jew! He has had his cold claw upon me, upon me, And be sure that he'll have it on you! 22,728 Five Hundred and Fifty-First St., New York, May 1, 1858. Dear Don Bobus, Pardon my abruptness. In medias res is the rule, you know, formose puer, my excellent old boy!

In the same way we must be careful about the endings of stories.
Surely he must pass her over to the charge of some lady, but of some lady who would be as determined as was he himself that she should not throw herself away by marrying Mr. Tregear.
