To judge from her letters she has never for a moment given up hope, but she must have had her dark hours of doubt like the rest of us." 20th August 1918 "The Canadians have been in action again and Mr. Meredith had a cable today saying that Carl had been slightly wounded and is in the hospital. It did not say where the wound was, which is unusual, and we all feel worried.
Obviously the trial was to be quite a private affair, which accounted for the unusual presence of the two "slayers." Even my Amawombe guard was left outside the gate, although I was significantly informed that if I chose to call upon them they would hear me, which was another way of saying that in such a small gathering I was absolutely safe.
On March nineteenth, his birthday, a demonstration was looked for and I saw many police near his dwelling, but nothing unusual occurred. I contemplated a trip to America, but both the Chancellor and von Jagow begged me not to go. From the time of the Lusitania sinking to that of the Sussex all Germany was divided into two camps.
The observation of lucky and unlucky days and seasons is by no means unusual; the phases of the moon are regarded with great respect, in one, medicine may be taken, in another it is advisable to kill a pig; over the doors of many houses may be found twigs placed crosswise, and never suffered to lose their cruciform position; and the horseshoe preserves its old station on many a stable-door.

Why, it seems only a few minutes since we left the girls. Now I'll run back to the whisky of which Maud disapproves. 'May it do you good! said Marian with a laugh. A speech of this kind seemed unusual upon her lips.
Now, I wish to dwell on that for one moment, because it is fashionable to put one's thumb upon it nowadays. It is not unusual to eliminate from the Gospel narrative all that side of it, and then to run over in eulogiums about the rest.
Undoubtedly the Titanic was faced that night with unusual and unexpected conditions of ice: the captain knew not the extent of these conditions, but he knew somewhat of their existence. Alas, that he heeded not their warning! During the day, the bodies of eight of the crew were committed to the deep: four of them had been taken out of the boats dead and four died during the day.
Lizzie ran after her to ask if anything was the matter, but she said no, it was nothing of importance. After dinner, she went right out, saying she was doing some errands. She brought in a lot of newspapers, which was quite unusual, for she sometimes does not look at a newspaper once a week even.
Her newspaper experience had made her aware that there is nothing in this world so strange as truth, and nothing so unusual as to be beyond the domain of crime. "What do you think?" he asked quietly. "Oh, I do not know; it all grows less comprehensible every moment.
