Little flakes of snow and a gust of icy wind swept into the hall, and following them the figure of a man, white from head to foot, his hair tossed with the wind, almost unrecognisable after his struggle. "Why, Doctor Harrison!" Dominey cried, taking a quick step forward. "What brings you here at this time of night!" The doctor leaned upon his stick for a moment.
He was unrecognisable and half out of his mind, but he recovered under the careful treatment he received. The two dead men were buried, Burke wrapped in the Union Jack. Later on his remains were carried to Melbourne, where a fine monument marks his grave.
In one of these he enveloped his person in such a way as to render it unrecognisable. Then he walked straight into the cave, and, without a word of warning, threw his strong arms a round Shank Leather and lifted him off the ground. Of course Leather shouted and struggled at first, but as well might a kitten have struggled in the grip of a grizzly bear.
Never was transformation of scene more complete, or more rapid. And all the while the rumours of coming war grew stronger and stronger. The bazaars of India, like the London coffee-houses of the last century, are always full of marvellous tales the invention of fertile brains. A single unimportant fact is exaggerated, and distorted, till it becomes unrecognisable.
Away to one side, against the skyline, one had a momentary glimpse of three or four Australians going along, bent low, making for some advanced position. It must be some stray bullet meant for them. Then another bullet hissed. So out on that brown hill-side, in some unrecognisable shell-hole trench, the enemy must still have been holding on.
The worst of growth is that a small acorn does not grow into a large acorn as logical persons expect. It ought to, but it does not. It grows instead into something quite unrecognisable from its small beginnings, something for which, perhaps, beyond a certain stage, there is no room, not even a manger. Those who love must discard much.
It was humiliating to think that her accent had so degenerated as to be unrecognisable in his ears, but there was no other explanation, and it was at least evident that she was expected, since he seemed in no doubt as to where to conduct her first.
From this point of origin the inflammation may spread all over the face and scalp as far back as the nape of the neck. It stops, however, at the chin, and never extends on to the front of the neck. There is great œdema of the face, the eyes becoming closed up, and the features unrecognisable. The inflammation may spread to the meninges, the intracranial venous sinuses, the eye, or the ear.
The walls, with their decaying, damp-stained plaster falling off by bits, were full of cracks, and turning a dirty black like the ceiling. There was no longer any furniture there; the room seemed abandoned; you could only catch a glimpse of some confused, strange objects, unrecognisable in the heavy obscurity that hung about the corners.
The back of his head struck the ground, and he lay there motionless. Corpang sprang forward to his assistance. But, when he saw what had happened, he left him where he was. "Maskull, come here quickly!" The light was perceptibly fading from Haunte's skin, as Maskull bent over. The man was dead. His face was unrecognisable.
