But being convinced that the death of this regret was the best thing for him, he did not long shrink from attempting it. He closed his chambers, suspended his connection with editors, and left London for the Continent. Here we will leave him to wander without purpose, beyond the nominal one of encouraging obliviousness of Elfride. 'The pennie's the jewel that beautifies a'.
If your husband hadn't been so well known, you see, we might have slipped in all right." Mrs. Brimmer received this speech with the languid obliviousness of perception she usually meted out to this chartered jester. "Do you really think so, Mr. Crosby? And would you have been afraid to leave your cabin or are you joking? You know I never know when you are. It is very dreadful, either way."
That night was a troubled one to the simple-minded proprietor of the good ship Pontiac. Unable to voice his uneasiness by further discussion, but feeling that his late discomposing interview with his lodger demanded some marked protest, he absented himself on the plea of business during the rest of the evening, happily to his daughter's utter obliviousness of the reason.
As Princess Toto, in the weird old Elizabethan tragedy, quite forgot the circumstance of her Marriage, so Philippa might entirely forget her Murder. When we remember what women are, the latter instance of obliviousness appears the more probable. I SHALL, I am sure, scarcely be credited when I say that Philippa's unconsciousness lasted for sixteen days.
Then, as all particular constitutions have their debilities, this provision for temporary obliviousness may become an infirmity, and in some is an habitual and chronic infirmity. Let us now assume an individual man, and suppose ourselves able to analyze perfectly his mental condition.

"A stranger calling himself an Arab is at the gate," he said to her, with the semblance of a salutation. The simplicity of the ancient, his zeal in the performance of his office, his obliviousness to the imperial presence, caused a ripple of amusement.
Between the lines he replied to his wife, whose remarks increased in quantity, and also, as I thought, in emphasis, under the river of verse which he poured forth unbaffled, broadening his chest to the sonorous Greek music in a singular rapture of obliviousness. A wise man will not squander his laughter if he can help it, but will keep the agitation of it down as long as he may.
To do the little woman justice, she was often sorely tried by Sara's grand, self-contained airs, unconscious as they were, and by her obliviousness to many of the trivialities and practicalities of life. Mrs. Olmstead loved gossip, and Sara loathed it. "But, Sairay," her mother would urge, after the former's visits to Miss Prue or Mrs.
"I knew he was dying to see you after all you had BOTH passed through, and I brought him straight here," said the diminutive Machiavelli, meeting the astonished gaze of her father and the curious eyes of her sister with perfect calmness, while Maggie, full of gratitude and admiration of her handsome brother, forgot his momentary obliviousness, and returned her greeting warmly.
"I've been trying to analyze it ever since I came West. It wouldn't appeal to the tired or the world-weary. Its charm is for the vigorous and the confident and the hopeful for the young."
