Henry Blaine felt that the supreme struggle of his whole career was confronting him. The unheard-of intrepidity of conception, the very daring of the conspiracy, combined with the prominence of the men involved, would brand any accusation, even from a man of Henry Blaine's celebrated international reputation, as totally preposterous, unless substantiated.
Betty went to him, and put her hand on his arm. "Sit down," she said, "and I will sit by you." And she sat down and showed him that she had brought a package of tobacco with her, and actually a wonder of a red and yellow jar to hold it, at the sight of which unheard-of joys his rapture was so great that his trembling hands could scarcely clasp his treasures. "Tee-hee! Tee-hee-ee! Deary me!
These unheard-of objections of his are levelled at the fundamental principles of the established practice and calculated to undermine it. Every physician of reputable standing will tell you that bleeding is the only efficacious treatment for the Cold Plague, and that it is entirely safe if no more than eight ounces of blood be taken at a time, and not oftener than once in two or three hours."
I've been here now fully three-quarters of an hour! A most unheard-of method of doing business, I should say!" Presently our stern, steely-eyed host returned. He seemed to be going somewhere, to be nowise interested in us.
This had shattered her customary self-reliance, leaving her wellnigh helpless. Perhaps after all an unheard-of thing in her experience she had better seek advice of some older and wiser pilot. And yet now she came to think it over it was not so much a question of heads as it was a question of shoulders on which the heads rested. To turn to St.

Come, come, tell me; I am dying with curiosity and uneasiness!" "Athos," said d'Artagnan, getting rid of his female garments, and appearing in his shirt, "prepare yourself to hear an incredible, an unheard-of story."
Merlin inquired, looking maliciously from Finot to Lucien. A joke is like a bit of thread; if it is spun too fine, it breaks, as Bonaparte said." "Gentlemen," said Lousteau, "we have been eye-witnesses of a strange, portentous, unheard-of, and truly surprising phenomenon. Admire the rapidity with which our friend here has been transformed from a provincial into a journalist!"
He remembered hearing of a shaft that had been put down by a few believers, in defiance of local derision; he recalled, too, the eccentric and unheard-of drive thrown out by the Red Hand in some such absurd quest, and his respect for the boy's opinion grew into something like conviction. 'It's very queer, Dick, he said; 'but if you'll show it to me I'll do all I can for you. 'That's good!
"Yes," I answered, "I present you the thing in all its bareness. You may take this as a specimen of an Eastern house. People are apt to fancy that those long, latticed houses on the Bosphorus conceal unheard-of luxuries, and that the people live like Sybarites. It is quite untrue. They either try to imitate the French style, and do it horribly, or else they live in great bare rooms like these."
True enough, the terrible sensation I had made became so great, that the directors feared the most unheard-of demonstrations at any performance of Rienzi.
