Very often the plot as it thickens is suddenly broken off, the connecting thread is allowed to drop, and other similar signs of an unfinished art appear. The reason of this is to be sought probably far less in the unskilfulness of the Roman editors, than in the indifference of the Roman public to aesthetic laws. Taste, however, gradually formed itself.
The vapor of the abyss thickens; and a distant roll of thunder seems to come from its depths. The pythoness, seated on her tripod, rises slowly from it. She has discarded the insulating robe and veil in which she conversed with Napoleon, and is now draped and hooded in voluminous folds of a single piece of grey-white stuff.
"No; we are determined to reach Sonnenberg. A storm impends." "In that case, gentlemen, don't let me detain you. The gloom thickens as you spend your time in talk." "Oh, that's all very well, but when we reach Sonnenberg we shall need money." "So you will." "And we intend to secure it." "Quite right." "We demand from you three thalers for each man." "Oh, you want the money from me?" "Yes, we do."
Encountering each other on the way they struggle together, each intolerant of interference, until the shrieking is heard on every hand, and the snow fog thickens, and the dull sun above grows duller, and the lurid "sun dogs" look like evil coals of fire burning in the sky. Now, from every direction, the wind tears along in a mad fury.
There was no time for hesitation. Rushford took it, signed the blank, and fished up the expected tip. "Oh, what a tangled web we weave!" he murmured, and looked at the address on the little white envelope. It read: M. le Propriétaire, Grand Hôtel Royal, Weet-sur-Mer. "The plot thickens!" he murmured. "Well, it's really for me. Let's see," and he tore it open.
A rattle announces the first omnibus, with a pile of luggage outside and five inside passengers, two commercial travellers, two who may be curates or schoolmasters, and a brown man with a large sea-chest. At the quarter, the scene thickens; there are few Hansoms, but some night cabs, a vast number of carts of all kinds, from the costermonger's donkey to the dashing butcher's Whitechapel.
Lord of a later date, Morse answers: "The plot thickens all around me; I think a dénouement not far off. I remember your consoling me under these attacks with bidding me think that I had invented something worth contending for.
Next, the cereal should be stirred into the boiling salted water slowly enough to prevent it from forming lumps, and then, being constantly stirred, it should be allowed to cook until it thickens. The process up to this point is called setting a cereal, or grain.
Purées are merely thick soups strained carefully before serving, and made usually of some vegetable which thickens in boiling, as beans, pease, &c, though there are several forms of fish purées in which the foundation is thickened milk, to which the fish is added, and the whole then rubbed through a common sieve, if a regular purée-sieve is not to be had.
One's business and personal affairs "leak" in street cars, public places, and on the streets to the detriment of the race. Permitting the lips to hang, thickens them. They grow too heavy to hold up. Too much grinning and loud laughter will widen the mouth and loosen it. We do not desire small mouths, but we do not look attractive with "leaking mouths." Our mouths are improving.
