"I must plead guilty to being rather unoriginal," he said, "but I promise you that this little adventure shall not end as did the last." "It can hardly do that," she laughed, "I can only be married once whilst Mr. Beale is alive." "I forgot you were married," he said suddenly, then after a pause, "I suppose you will divorce him?" "Why?" she asked innocently.
Very fine and righteous and high-minded in what he said, but writing it out in full and calling her painful difficulties the writhing of a sensitive, high-strung woman, mismated with a tyrant an example notably stupid and unoriginal, of the eternal matrimonial triangle. Bowman evidently kept his sympathy, so far as such a nature can be said to entertain that gentle emotion.
It became a regular habit of his to keep me at work while the rest of the squad stood at ease, and he had a vocabulary which, though limited and unoriginal, was as offensive as can easily be conceived.

"They're a slow unoriginal lot, the police there's no imagination in their brains and no ingenuity in their minds.
There too, abroad too, I remained the same unoriginal creature. In the first place, I need not say that of Europe, of European life, I really learnt nothing. I listened to German professors and read German books on their birthplace: that was all the difference.
For, if it were otherwise, it would be thought of our own type familiar, banal, commonplace, unoriginal. It would encounter no resistance, as it thrilled on its way through our brain, from established errors.
Then fear dried beneath the flames. It is unnecessary to tell what the Governor did, or what he said. The language, as language, was unoriginal and of striking monotony, and as to what happened, most people have had experience which will obviate the necessity of going into brutal facts.
