Are we to credit her not only with memory, but also with the faculty of associating ideas, of judgment, and of pursuing a train of reasoning in respect of her astonishingly co-ordinated actions? Put to the question by the malice of the operator, the "transcendent" anatomist trips over a mere trifle, and the slightest novelty confounds her.
We turn now from the field of the astrologer to the closely allied province of Chaldean magic a province which includes the other; which, indeed, is so all-encompassing as scarcely to leave any phase of Babylonian thought outside its bounds. The tablets having to do with omens, exorcisms, and the like magic practices make up an astonishingly large proportion of the Babylonian records.
You're old enough and you've seen enough, and you know enough to keep one fool boy in order for six months." So frankly he spoke of his son, yet not without affection and confidence. Before I left, he sent for the youth himself, Lambert R. Poor, Jr., not at all a Caliban, but a most excellent-appearing, tall gentleman, of astonishingly meek countenance.
These catalogues show large numbers of young men and women, almost all of them between twenty and thirty-eight years old; and yet the number of young children is astonishingly small.

The theatre was not open while we were in Washington, but we afterwards took advantage of our vicinity to the city, to visit it. The house is very small, and most astonishingly dirty and void of decoration, considering that it is the only place of public amusement that the city affords.
She looked up at him, so tall and masterful and astonishingly handsome and then she obeyed him meekly, and he led the way into a cosy little room unlit except for a glowing mass of coals. Michael turned on one electric lamp, and they both went over to the chimney piece.
He swore that Judy would be a great beauty, but that she would always be like a monkey with those deep, sad eyes and the bistre stains below them that were the only tinge of colour upon her dark skin. She was a shy, wild creature, given to solitary roaming and much scribbling of astonishingly good poems in a little note-book.
