"That jumpiness is the effect of your illness, you know. I shall be glad when it's all over. It's made you so odd." She was not pleased that he should speak of her "oddness." For that matter, she, too, found him "odd" at any rate, found it difficult to realise that he was as he always had been. He had begun to irritate her a little.
"Can ye tell, lad, what ye think about when you're lookin' at the waves?" Ruby smiled at the oddness of the question. "Well," said he, "I don't think I ever thought of that before."
Then I began to think of the oddness of my destiny, while at my side some musketeers were drinking Spanish wine with girls of the town. I was not quite sure that Croix-des-Sablons, M. d'Asterac, Mosaide, the papyrus of Zosimus and my fine clothes were not dreams, out of which I should wake to find myself clad in the dimity vest, back again turning the spit at the Queen Pedauque.
It strained my own belief that men should be so callous, until this Cahusac afforded me the explanation." "What?" She checked her unbelief, an unbelief that had uplifted her from an inexplicable dismay. Clutching the rail, she swung round to face his lordship with that question. Later he was to remember and perceive in her present behaviour a certain oddness which went disregarded now.
"I thought," was Rotherby's greeting, a note almost of irritation in his voice, "that the woman said you were from France." It was an odd welcome, but its oddness at the moment went unheeded. His swift scrutiny of his brother over, Mr. Caryll's glance passed on to become riveted upon the face of the lady at the table's head.
You're going to enjoy having those people. The woman is as nice as she can be, and that's the brightest little boy! He's as smart as a whip!" I was aware that the oddness of Cousin Tryphena's manner still persisted even now that we were alone. She sighed heavily and said, "I don't sleep much better nights now I've done it!" Then facing me, "I hadn't ought to have brought them up here!

It was on the wrong side of the house the gentlemen's side, she called it and did not run parallel with the drawing-room; but the very oddness of the arrangement seemed to please her guests.
His general appearance was as much out of the English style as that of the Turk whom I had seen but a moment before in his bag-like trousers, shuffling along in his slippers. But oddness in dress, is one of the characteristics of the Great Exhibition.
I was hauled, resisting weakly enough, to the gangway. Even then I noticed the oddness of the brown faces of the men who were with Montgomery in the launch; but the launch was now fully laden, and was shoved off hastily. A broadening gap of green water appeared under me, and I pushed back with all my strength to avoid falling headlong.
