Eugenia, the eleven year old girl, had been staying with a cousin until the house should be put in order, and now she had come to the new home. She was a black-haired witch, and of exceeding vivacious and volatile disposition. "OO! ee!" she exclaimed; "isn't it great! Take me everywhere, Dot! Show me all the rooms and all the outdoorses and everything! I didn't know it was such a big house.
Heathcote had another of his acute attacks of appreciation, and became almost a subject for sal volatile and burnt feathers, Mr. Ramsay saying good-naturedly, "What a fellow you are for chaffin', Ketchum! Just you hook it out of this, will you, and let us get on with this? One and two and a kick, you say, Miss Brown? I am such a duffer I can't get the kick."
Retaining her elasticity of spirit, she was less volatile, more silent, more careful, more anxious. It is wiser, not happier, to reach that estate called thought; for now she asked herself very often how long this chapter of her life would last. Must the time come when he must leave her forever?
The lady had often before witnessed, with some degree of pain, the warmth of my disposition, for I was, as I have already hinted, of a sanguine, volatile nature; and she had always observed, that, when bent upon any particular object, I was never deterred, and seldom persuaded, from attempting to accomplish it; but she had never before seen me so determined and resolved upon any point as I now was.
Be careful that your copper tables are thoroughly water-tight, for remember you are dealing with a very volatile metal, quicksilver; and where water will percolate mercury will penetrate.
This is caused by a large jet-black ant named "Leshonya". It is nearly an inch in length, and emits a pungent smell when alarmed, in the same manner as the skunk. The scent must be as volatile as ether, for, on irritating the insect with a stick six feet long, the odor is instantly perceptible. Occasionally we lighted upon land tortoises, which, with their unlaid eggs, make a very agreeable dish.
The volatile spirit of the Creoles fairly surpassed itself in ringing the changes on stirring rumors. Alice scarcely left the house during the whole period of excitement and suspense. Like a wounded bird, she withdrew herself from the light and noisy chatter of her friends, seeking only solitude and crepuscular nooks in which to suffer silently.
A storm was gathering, she could see it approaching and beyond it, like another murky, death-dealing thunder-cloud, was the pestilence, the fearful pestilence. And it was she, a fragile, feeble girl a volatile water-wagtail who had brought all these terrors down on them, who had opened the sluice-gates through which ruin was now beginning to pour in on all around her.
By this time, by the way, and as I should have said before, I had still further enlarged my staff by one art director of the most flamboyant and erratic character, a genius of sorts, volatile, restless, emotional, colorful, a veritable Verlaine-Baudelaire-Rops soul, who, not content to arrange and decorate the magazine each month, must needs wish to write, paint, compose verse and music and stage plays, as well as move in an upper social world, entrée to which was his by birth.
Like animals, they exhale peculiar volatile organic principles, which in many instances render the air unfit for the purposes of respiration.
