At this moment Miss Oman entered with a small tray and a smile of which I should not have supposed her to be capable. "You'll take your toast and cocoa while they're hot, dear, won't you?" she said coaxingly. "Yes, I will, Phyllis, thank you," Miss Bellingham answered. "I am only just going to take off my hat," and she left the room, followed by the astonishingly transfigured spinster.
Wrenn did not really see all these details, but he had an impression of luxury and high artistic success. He considered the Yvette flask the largest bottle of perfume he'd ever seen; and remarked that there was "some guy's picture on the table." He had but a moment to reconnoiter, for she was astonishingly saying: "So you were lonely when I knocked?" "Why, how " "Oh, I could see it.
Vegetation is making an astonishingly rapid progress, and the grain in its luxuriant growth upon a rich soil, presents to the eye the fairest prospects of a good harvest. But the locust, an insect very like the large grasshopper, is beginning to make sad ravages, by destroying the crops, as it has done for the last three years, at the Settlement.

He was at the further end of the terrace, close beneath the stable wall, when the stable clock struck the quarter for the second time.
Sometimes they travelled alone, sometimes jogged along with parties whom they overtook by the way, or who had slept in the same posadas or inns at which they had put up for the night. Most of these inns were very rough, and, to Geoffrey, astonishingly dirty.
Deimos completes a revolution about the planet in thirty hours and eighteen minutes, and Phobos in the astonishingly short period although, of course, it is in strict accord with the law of gravitation and in that sense not astonishing of seven hours and thirty-nine minutes.
But for the rest, the hopeless glances that Hugh Van Orden cast toward her caused Adèle to flush, and Mrs. Haggage to become despondent and speechless and astonishingly rigid; and Petheridge Jukesbury's vaguely apologetic attitude toward the world struck Miss Hugonin as infinitely diverting.
