If I had been a wild man of the jungle like Jaffery, it would not have mattered; but I have always prided myself on being not the last word, for that would not be consonant with my natural modesty but, say, the penultimate word of our modern civilisation; and the memory of having acted like an ingenuous child of nature still burns whenever it floats across my brain.
Armine," he said, at last, laying a faint stress upon the penultimate word. "Will you let me discuss the case amicably with you? No formal consultation! Just let me hear your views fully, and mention anything that occurs to me." "Occurs? But you haven't examined the patient. You haven't made any thorough examination, or entered into the circumstances of the case." "No. But I've seen the patient."
Reserved they, I should suppose, for these ultimate or penultimate ages of the world, rich in all prodigies, political, spiritual, ages surely with such a length of ears as was never paralleled before. If I had a commonwealth to reform or to govern, certainly it should not be the Devil's regiments of the line that I would first of all concentrate my attention on!
Rigollot stated in 1854, flint tools and the bones of extinct animals, together with river shells and land shells of living species, abound. Penultimate molar, lower jaw, right side, one-third of natural size, Pleistocene. Penultimate molar, lower jaw, right side, one-third of natural size, Pleistocene and Newer Pliocene.
Only six thousand pounds now required for the great ultimate, or penultimate, or antepenultimate effort. Another twopence and up goes the donkey! Roscommon, June 27th. No. 41. The Dubliners have quite given up the bill. The Unionist party have regained their calm, and the Nationalists are resigned to the position.
There has appeared of late, like a penultimate branching-out of the old classical trunk, or, better still, like one of those excrescences, those polypi, which decrepitude develops, and which are a sign of decomposition much more than a proof of life there has appeared a strange school of dramatic poetry.
'Certainly, while it lasts you only can't insist on permanency, came Gudrun's voice, strident above the noise. 'Marriage or no marriage, ultimate or penultimate or just so-so? take the love as you find it. 'As you please, or as you don't please, she echoed. 'Marriage is a social arrangement, I take it, and has nothing to do with the question of love.
Major Marchand has had various titles conferred upon him, and in the penultimate despatch contained in the papers he is described by Lord Salisbury as "a French explorer who is on the Upper Nile in a difficult position." To M. Delcassé, however, is reserved the honour of giving him an official designation.
As I turned over his leaves just now, I lighted on another instance of what I cannot but call ridiculous presumption. He says that Martial committed a blunder in making the penultimate of Porsena short. Strange that so great a scholar should not know that Horace had done so too! Minacis aut Etrusca Porsenae manus.
When the movement ceased, the lower internode was 9 inches, and the penultimate 6 inches in length; so that, from the twenty-seventh to thirty-seventh revolutions inclusive, three internodes were at the same time revolving.
