The newspapers of this order are abundantly supplied with pertinent material, particularly news of alleged sinkings without warnings, of which they on their side probably with the co-operation of the British authorities here know how to increase the effect by means of exaggerated reports of out-of-date 'sacrifices to German frightfulness, which are eagerly swallowed here.
Ancient conveys no personal meaning, but the out-of-date transports us, as it were, to the stern of the vessel, throws us into a mournful attitude; we lean our heads upon our hands and, looking back, we see the white wake of the vessel with shores sinking in the horizon and the crests of the mountains passing away into the clouds.
"I think it was when the engineer and the girl Robertson is going to marry began to talk about house furnishings in the Ardrigh's mess-room. They took it for granted Lister was my lover and he was horribly embarrassed. The thing really was humorous." "Folks have hinted I'm getting a back-number," Cartwright remarked. "To talk to a modern girl makes me feel I am out-of-date."
Along with this arsenal of murderous weapons and out-of-date instruments, is strangely mingled a collection of very different objects, being small glass-lidded boxes, full of rosaries, chaplets, medals, AGNUS DEI, holy water bottles, framed pictures of saints, etc., not to forget a goodly number of those chapbooks, struck off in Friburg on coarse bluish paper, in which you can hear about miracles of our own time, or "Jesus Christ's Letter to a true believer," containing awful predictions, as for the years 1831 and '32, about impious revolutionary France.

Throughout the war, while the masculine world had been making an amorous idiot of itself, he had kept his head clear and gone straight.

We have cast behind us the myths and miracles, proven the absurdity of our ancestors' most cherished traditions and brought their idols beneath the iconoclastic hammer. In this general social and intellectual house-cleaning have we consigned virtue to the rubbish heap or at best relegated it to the garret with the spinning-wheel, hand-loom and other out-of-date trumpery?
I can conceive of no nobler life than one devoted to furthering the cause of science." She looked up at him, with a wan smile. "A barren life!" she said: "ah, yes, his was a wasted life!

And that beautiful boy might have had so much fun Life is queer, isn't it, Olaf?"
The Countess replied seriously, “I am one of those out-of-date people, Mr Bunker, who consider some things come before money, but the Baron’s birth and position are fortunately unimpeachable.” “While his mental qualities,” said Mr Bunker, “are, in my experience, almost unique.” The Countess was confirmed in her opinion of Mr Bunker’s discrimination.
There was, however, one point in which he triumphed over Miss Nightingale: the building of Netley Hospital had been begun under his orders, before her return to England.
