So, though I did not forget Sir Robert Masters, or his somewhat strange conversation, amid the crowd of daily interests and pleasures, duties and cares, none of the incidents I have here recorded were much in my mind, and but that I had while still in Germany carefully noted the details of all bearing directly or indirectly on "Nora's ghost," as we had come to call it though it was but rarely alluded to before the child herself I should not now have been able to give them with circumstantiality.
This turns out to be no common case, and after hearing the whole, I do not hesitate to offer you my hand." Leopold was overcome by his kindness, and withdrew speechless, but greatly relieved. Several times during the course of his narrative, its apparent truthfulness and its circumstantiality went nigh to stagger Mr.
Each one sees in her own case certain things that have been foretold to her by the fortune-teller with such circumstantiality of time and place, and which have afterwards “come to pass,” so exactly in accordance with the prophecy, that she can only account for it by ascribing supernatural prescience to the prophetess.

He has told it over and over to everybody who would listen, from that time to this, and he would cheerfully get out of bed at three in the morning to tell it again, with the utmost circumstantiality, and with such little accretions of fictitious ornament as always gather about a story often and fondly told.
