One day, when the Inca and his mother and their principal chiefs and counselors were away from Uiticos on a visit to some of their outlying estates, Friar Marcos and Friar Diego decided to make a spectacular attack on this particular Devil, who was at the great "white rock over a spring of water."
But the artistic and intellectual have really starved their capacity for suffering, the one by treating all emotion as spectacular, and the other by treating it as a puerile interruption to serious things. It takes people a long time to work their way out of self-satisfaction! But there is another curious place I wish you to visit.
A mere proposal of marriage and an acceptance were more or less hackneyed; the event contained no elements of the spectacular; but to follow it promptly with a midnight ceremony impressed him as a grandiose achievement and one calculated to shed luster upon his adventurous career. "That's my idea of romance that's the way I like to do things," he declared.
He leaped to his feet and left her still smoking as he rushed off to enquire about the trains. "Well, well," she murmured as she gazed thoughtfully after him, "he's as impulsive as any child. Just a great, big boy I rather like him but he won't last long, in New York." Rimrock Jones' return to New York was as dramatic and spectacular as his first visit had been pretentious and prodigal.
In a moment he had bounced back to the educated mule's rump. In another instant he would be plumped to the hard ground with a jolt that would shake him to his foundations. But Jumbo had other plans more spectacular plans in mind. He put them into execution at once. The moment he felt his burden slipping over his back that active end grew busy again.

Further, William was "steady," and not quite raving mad about football matches; nor did he bet on horses, dogs or pigeons. Nevertheless Annie although, mind you, extraordinarily happy found that her new existence, besides being monotonous, was somewhat hard, narrow and lacking in spectacular delights.
The town was built around a handsome plaza, probably copied from Sonoma as an incident of the Wood sojourn. On the highest point in the center a fine flagstaff one hundred and twenty feet high was proudly crowned by a liberty-cap. This elevated plateau was the field of our display. On a spot not too near the flagstaff we planned for a spectacular center of flame.
The weekly society journals depended upon her to supply them with spectacular pictures of a Chinese ball every November and a Micareme dance every spring; they sent photographers all the way up to her camp that their readers might not miss a yearly glimpse of the way Mrs. Villalonga entertained.
Indeed, one of the most striking facts of this age of the Renaissance is the swift and spectacular rise of Spain from a land of feebleness and internal strife into the most powerful kingdom of Europe. We have seen the Spanish peninsula in previous ages the seat of endless strife between Saracens and Christians.
