We have made a breach in the fiftieth dozen.Daily one will preserve us from having to name the fortieth quite so unseasonably.The couple of bottles per diem prognosticates disintegration, with its accompanying recklessness.…Cited from The Egoist, by George Meredith
I got off as fast as Possible, and had just shut myself in, and him out, when I heard the voice of the king, who passed my door to go to the dining-room.I was quite chagrined to have left it so unseasonably, as my whole heart yearned to see him.He stayed but a minute, and I heard him stop close to my door, and speak with Mr. de Luc.…Cited from The Diary and Letters of Madam D'Arblay Volume 2
My sister and a friend of hers, had been engaged to dine below stairs, but a message was sent to put them off, and Mary ordered that the cloth should not be laid, as usual, in the room immediately under her on the first floor, but in the ground-floor parlour.I felt a pang at having been so long and so unseasonably absent, and determined that I would not repeat the fault.In the evening she had a second shivering fit, the symptoms of which were in the highest degree alarming.…Cited from Memoirs of the Author of a Vindication of the Rights of Woman, by Godwin
The man in brown, who so unseasonably interrupted his pleasantry, is an officer of justice, and has probably taken him before a magistrate, to answer some one of his numerous creditors.Cited from A Voyage to the Moon, by George Tucker (AKA Joseph Atterley)
Come, come, be easy, I will engage to procure you another private Meeting; but take Care not to act the Prude again so unseasonably.Ply him with every alluring Art, and even make Use of a fond Violence to make him yield.…Cited from The Amours of Zeokinizul, King of the Kofirans, by Crebillon
But yet I did not think it my duty to rave against him in the pulpit, or to do this so unseasonably and imprudently as might irritate him to mischief.And the rather, because, as he kept up his approbation of a godly life in general, and of all that was good, except that which the interest of his sinful cause engaged him to be against.…Cited from The Complete Works of John Greenleaf Whittier
And my sense of discomfort in his presence was intensified by the scarlet waistcoat which tightly, and so unseasonably in June, sheathed his ample chest.This waistcoat wasn't wrong merely because of the heat, either.…Cited from Seven Men, by Max Beerbohm
She began to utter the most extravagant expressions before the sultan, and even rose off her seat as if to attack him; insomuch that he was greatly alarmed and afflicted, that he had made such a proposal so unseasonably.When he found that her frenzy rather increased than abated, he left her with her women, charging them never to leave her alone, but to take great care of her.…Cited from The Arabian Nights Entertainments Complete
This I expected, and hastened to awaken Mr. Ellis, by knocking briskly at the door.Presently he looked out of a window above, and, in answer to his inquiries, in which impatience at being so unseasonably disturbed was mingled with anxiety, I told him my name, and entreated him to come down and allow me a few minutes' conversation.He speedily dressed himself, and, opening the kitchen door, we seated ourselves before the fire.…Cited from Arthur Mervyn, by Charles Brockden Brown
She was interrupted by the approach of the officer under discussion, but he passed us gloomily and went on to inspect the workmen so unseasonably employed, as it seemed, in a labor that, save in a case of long voyages, is always performed in port.His melancholy air, and the preoccupation of his manner, confirmed my worst fears.…Cited from Sea and Shore, by Mrs. Catharine A. Warfield
Some of his men picked him carefully up, and conveyed him to his tent, stunned and stupified.When he recovered, he found Harpiton diligently assisting in his recovery, more in the fear of losing his place than in that of losing his master: the prince's first inquiry was for the prisoner he had been on the point of taking at the moment when his habeas corpus was so unseasonably suspended.…Cited from Maid Marian, by Thomas Love Peacock
This consisted of the remains of Friand's division, and the young guard.There were lost, without the least utility, 2000 men of that reserve which had been so unseasonably spared on the day of battle; and Mortier was so enraged, that he wrote to the emperor, that he would no longer obey Murat's orders.For it was by letter that the generals of the vanguard communicated with Napoleon.…Cited from History of the Expedition to Russia, by Count Philip de Segur
It was well that he did; for as it was, by his untimely straight-forwardness, he once or twice came near spoiling every thing.Indeed, on one occasion he was so unseasonably blunt, that curiously enough, I had almost suspected him of taking that odd sort of interest in one's welfare, which leads a philanthropist, all other methods failing, to frustrate a project deemed bad; by pretending clumsily to favor it.But no inuendoes; Jarl was a Viking, frank as his fathers; though not so much of a bucanier.…Cited from Mardi: and A Voyage Thither, Vol. I (of 2), by Herman Melville
