His official reports, in a quaint, stately hand, were models of English; full of information, intelligent, valuable, well observed. And those few of his countrymen, who stumbled upon him in the out-of-the-world places to which of late he had been banished, wrote of him to the department in terms of admiration and awe.
Coming westward we reach the prosperous Cyrene, and then, by the rather out-of-the-world Bight of Tripoli, Africa proper, where once ruled mighty Carthage, the colony of Tyre, and where the Phoenician or Punic language still survived among the population of mixed Phoenicians and Berbers.
But to neglect them, and to be willing to mix them up with civilian clothes, are two very different things. Perhaps you did not think of this?" "Really, now," answered Sir Cæsar, "I should not have supposed that it mattered what these men wore, in such an out-of-the-world spot." Vashti's eyes rested on him for a second or two, in a kind of wondering despair at his obtuseness.
"It is just death in some out-of-the-world place after fruitless appeals to the justice of their fellow countrymen. They will breathe their life out in a sob or in a terrible curse of hatred.
"I never thought whether I esteemed Olivia, but I am satisfied I love her. You may be quite sure she is no adventuress. An adventuress would not hide herself in Tardif's out-of-the-world cottage." "A girl without friends and without a name!" she sighed; "a runaway from her family and home! It does not look well, Martin." I could answer nothing, and it would be of little use to try.

This old fosse seemed to strike the somewhat forgotten, out-of-the-world note of the surrounding country.
"My poor Olivia! what can I do to protect her?" "Nothing!" answered Kate Daltrey, coldly. "Her only chance is concealment, and what a poor chance that is! I went over to Sark, never thinking that your Miss Ollivier whom I had heard so much of was Olivia Foster. It is an out-of-the-world place; but so much the more readily they will find her, if they once get a clew.
Although my lot has been cast in this remote out-of-the-world town, I have had my experiences, Mrs. Bertram, and I never yet saw a face like Miss Hart's which did not conceal a history." "May I ask you, Mr. Ingram, if you ever before saw a face like Miss Hart's?" "Well, no, now that you put it to me, I don't think that I ever have. It is beautiful." "Ugly, you mean." "No, no, Mrs. Bertram.
The winter had set in early, and with unusual severity, when I reached Logville, the appropriate name given to the little mining camp which hid itself away in the vast wilderness of the Rocky Mountains.
