This was not only a favourite phrase of Mr. Gill's, but it was so far significant that it always indicated he was about to give notice to leave a menace on his part of no unfrequent occurrence. 'Ye's going, are ye? asked Kearney jeeringly. 'I just am; and I'm come to give up the books, and to get my receipts and my charac ter.
She even taunted her son with his personal deformity; and it was no unfrequent occurrence, in the violent quarrels which occurred between them, for her to take up the poker or tongs, and hurl them after him as he fled from her presence.
In 1827, such a sudden eruption of a torrent, after the current had appeared to have ceased, swept off forty-two houses and drowned twenty-eight persons in the village of Goncelin, near Grenoble, and buried with rubbish a great part of the remainder of the village." The French traveller, D'Abbadie, relates precisely similar occurrences as not unfrequent in the mountains of Abyssinia.
To those who deny this, I would give as a problem for solution, a case by no means unfrequent, and which most of my readers will have witnessed, a family in which the mother by no means incurring the charge of spoiling the child, by sparing the rod is less heeded, less promptly obeyed in her commands, than a father who seldom or never makes use of any such means.
The lesson was impressed more deeply by a little incident that chanced about this time. Miss Vanbrugh sometimes took Olive with her on those little errands of charity which were not unfrequent with the gentle Meliora. "I wish you would come with me to-day," she said once, "because, to tell the truth, I hardly like to go alone."

The track of the fish was surrounded by dazzling inimitable brilliancy, and far and wide everything was one dazzling coruscation. This extraordinary illumination of the sea is of very unfrequent occurrence, and rarely happens after long-continued, violent storms. The captain told me that he had never yet beheld the sea so lighted up. For my part, I shall never forget the sight.
But in the absence of home speculation it is little wonder that, for the chance of unfrequent gain, men should choose, rather than leave their capital unemployed, to run the risk of the frequent loss. It does not, however, follow, as a matter of course, that home speculation shall always prove profitable either to the invester or to the nation at large.
In thorough contrast to the language of Livius, that of Naevius is easy and clear, free from all stiffness and affectation, and seems even in tragedy to avoid pathos as it were on purpose; his verses, in spite of the not unfrequent -hiatus- and various other licences afterwards disallowed, have a smooth and graceful flow.
In the unfrequent pauses of the music, they might have heard, now and then, the gusty rush of a lonely wind, coming and going no one could know whence or whither, born and dying unexpected and unregarded.
