"I confess that I am the victim of an unheard-of combination of circumstances; I confess that you are right, and that certain fatalities can only be explained by the belief in Providence: but I swear by all that is holy in the world, I am innocent." "Prove it." "Ah! would I not do it if I could?" "Be good enough, then, to dress, sir, and to follow the gendarmes."
And what can be more provocative of scribbling than travel? How eagerly we hasten to describe unheard-of adventures, how anxiously record exaggerated marvels! to prove some printed hand-book quite wrong in the number of steps up a round-tower: or to crush, as a wicked vender of execrable wines, the once fair fame of some over-charging inn-keeper!
Descriptions in sale catalogues, though often entirely unfounded, characterising a book as "excessively rare;" "only copies known," "very scarce," "never before offered at our sales," etc., may carry the bidding on a book up to an unheard-of price.
That devil of a physician used new and unheard-of treatments he learned from atheistic reviews and suspicious books he imported from abroad.
The work had attained to such an unheard-of European popularity, that journalists evidently were tired of it. "The Solitary makes his first appearance in the provinces; sensation among the women. The Solitary perused at a chateau. Effect of the Solitary on domestic animals. The Solitary explained to savage tribes, with the most brilliant results.
It's just a chance, of course, but he may do it tonight." After the compass had been explained to the detective he gladly consented to the plan, declaring that he would willingly spend the time just to watch such an unheard-of instrument work. After another hour of fruitless discussion Prescott took his leave, saying that he would mount an impregnable guard from that time on.
Both are intended to dazzle our enemies, and to excite their envy." "But how came it to pass?" asked Rachel. "How came you to venture such an unheard-of demand? A Jewish baron is an anomaly which the world has never seen." "For that very reason I demanded it. I had rendered extraordinary services to the emperor.
"What the d -l do you fellows want?" he exclaimed angrily. "How dare you intrude upon me, in my private office, in this unheard-of fashion, like a herd of escaped lunatics?" "You rang for us," replied one of the men. "I did not," replied the bogus Mr. Armstrong, resuming his seat pompously. "The bells certainly rang, sir!" exclaimed the other three, simultaneously.
The last time I saw Wenzel and Metski was in the trenches at Minsk, where they had a tough debate regarding our adventure in the forest: the woodman insisting it was the Finn's spell that brought the wolves in such unheard-of numbers, and the peasant maintaining that it was a judgment on our desecration of Christmas-eve.
A marriage between the young people of the separate parties was almost as unheard-of and prohibited an alliance as that of Romeo and Juliet's. And of course Mr. Preston was not a man in whose breast such prejudices would die away. They were an excitement to him for one thing, and called out all his talent for intrigue on behalf of the party to which he was allied.
