"They've got us winging, Michael," he soliloquized, "so I suppose the only thing to do is to play safe, call upon the American consul immediately if not sooner, and ask if he has a cablegram for us." And without further ado the worthy fellow sprang into a cab and was whirled away to the residence of the American consul. Yes, the consul had a cablegram for him, but it was at his office.
"It is," soliloquized Kenelm Chillingly, "a strange yearning I have long felt, to get out of myself, to get, as it were, into another man's skin, and have a little variety of thought and emotion. One's self is always the same self; and that is why I yawn so often. But if I can't get into another man's skin, the next best thing is to get as unlike myself as I possibly can do.
'Here am I, soliloquized the Rambler, with a leg upon each side of the grate, 'an Englishman, sitting by a coal fire. 'Jamie's aff the hooks noo; said the old laird, as they drew near Auchinleck, 'he's bringing doon an auld dominie. Boswell begged of his companion to avoid three topics of discourse on which he knew his father had fixed opinions Whiggism, Presbyterianism, and Sir John Pringle.
I then soliloquized to myself, "What a poor creature is man, how weak, how miserable! how exposed to every whim and folly which a credulous mind can invent!" Thus soliloquizing, I got within the mysterious precincts of the Great Mountain Rock, in the course of three-quarters of an hour.
Somewhere in its gloom lurked an error, or else in the great furnaces that shouldered nakedly into the moonlit air. With a sudden sense of fatigue, he turned to his bedroom. "At any rate the chief constable is with me," he soliloquized sardonically, "and that's something." In five minutes he was sleeping profoundly.
It will be gathered from the foregoing soliloquy that the newcomer was a nephew of Paul Nichols. After a not very creditable youth, he had gone to sea, and for eighteen years this was his first reappearance in his native town. He sat down in a chair, and stretched out his legs, with an air of being at home. "I wonder what the old man will say when he sees me," he soliloquized.
"He seems to be at home behind the scenes," soliloquized Chick, furtively watching him. "Evidently he has some kind of a pull with the manager, or he could not get admission to the stage. Probably through his friend, the Spanish señora." Venner was then in one of the left wings, apparently indulging in small talk with a handsome girl of about twenty, who had just finished her turn upon the stage.
The alacrity with which he acquiesced proved how well he liked it, and he started out at once to get the burros, and make ready for the expedition. Robin baked and prepared as well as she could. "It's a good thing I had a Southern grandmother," she soliloquized, as she put her beaten biscuit in the Dutch oven and pulled the coals over it.
Somehow, Joe, when I see a shipping man's son fooling away his time on a pleasure yacht instead of learning the shipping business, I feel as if I'd just taken a dose of ipecac." "Godfather is out of sorts," Joey soliloquized sagely, and resolved to wait a day or two before broaching the subject of a loan. Cappy Ricks surveyed the young fellow severely.
Nature was rocking itself to sleep. Even as it slumbered, it now and then heaved a sigh, sympathizing with the lonely man who pondered near his parents' grave.
