Seignebos started, and, readjusting his spectacles, he cried triumphantly, "I said so! I have guessed it!" M. Folgat had, on this occasion, very naturally, no deliberative voice. He came from Paris, with Paris ideas; and, whatever he might have been told, the name of the Countess Claudieuse revealed to him nothing.
"Let me see something over eight hundred and eighty millions of miles from the sun. Its distance from us depends" "Never mind," Emmet put in. "A few million miles more or less don't bother me any. It makes things down here seem rather small, does n't it? Politics, for example." "It has the effect of readjusting our perspective a little," Leigh admitted.
One might say to the art of Europe what Antony said to the corpse of Caesar: 'Are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, shrunk to this little measure? But in fact it is the mind of Europe that has shrunk, being, as we have seen, wholly preoccupied with a busy spring-cleaning to get rid of its superstitions before readjusting itself to the new conception of Evolution.
She eagerly perused the paragraph which explained the manner in which Lady Sylvia was readjusting and adorning the Cosmos. Lady Sylvia made speeches in London's West End wherever that was and had a lot to do with bettering the Housing Problem whatever that was and was noted for the distinguished gatherings at her home. This alluring creature was evidently in politics, too!
To himself he was saying, "What would Ellery do?" and on his answer to his own question he was readjusting his whole life. "We will not go out this evening, Lena," he said. "We've come to a crisis in our affairs more important than a club dinner." "What, have you been losing money?" cried Lena, startled and resentful. Dick looked at her with a very unpleasant smile. "No," he answered.
Now and then, glancing at him unexpectedly during the excellent luncheon that followed, I found his eyes fixed on me thoughtfully, intently. It was not at all an unfriendly gaze. Rather it was the look of a man who is painstakingly readjusting his mental processes to meet a new situation. He made a delightful host. I sat at his right.
It is true that he did not stand there long; for scarcely had he finished the letter, or rather the note, which he had just received in so strange and mysterious a manner, when he replaced it in its silver receptacle, and readjusting his cloak so as to hide all the lower part of his face, resumed his walk with a rapid step, crossed Borgo San Spirito, and took the street of the Longara, which he followed as far as the church of Regina Coeli.
He found that the bullet had plowed through the fleshy part of the thigh, just missing the bone, and, barring chances of infection, it was not likely to be dangerous. He was readjusting Slim's crude bandaging when he heard the beat of hoofs and out of the corner of one eye saw McCabe walk swiftly out to meet the returning punchers.
After readjusting himself inside the two wooden peaks of the saddle, he testified his disapproval to the beast, and trotted away in style, leaving a row of grinning Montenegrins and boys behind with the exception of one who clung to reins and other bits of saddlery, imploring him to stop. The lorry dropped us just before the first broken bridge.
At last, little Father Caboccini, being quite out of breath, was obliged to relinquish his hold on Rodin's neck, who, readjusting his dirty collar, and his old cravat and waistcoat, somewhat in disorder in consequence of this hurricane of caresses, said in a gruff tone, "Your humble servant, father, but you need not kiss quite so hard."
