understandable

Concerning the old carpenter who fixed the bed for the writer, I only mentioned him because he, like many of what are called very common people, became the nearest thing to what is understandable and lovable of all the grotesques in the writer's book.

It is understandable that a theory of their 'genius' was invented for them long ago because they have power!

He had always looked on Elizabeth as an ordinary good fellow, a girl whose mind worked in a more or less understandable way.

That's understandable. But is it understandable that he should go out of his way to bring with him the most noisy weapon he could select, knowing well that it will fetch every human being in the house to the spot as quick as they can run, and that it is all odds that he will be seen before he can get across the moat?

If an understandable reason be required for this, it would be to draw attention away from the green lights which were seen in the room, and especially in the well-hole.

"We have a friend--" he began and paused, and then rambled into a not very understandable story about a letter and a doll's house and some unknown man who had bought one of his pictures, or was supposed to have done so, in a curiously clandestine manner.

That propensity of lifting every problem from the plane of the understandable by means of some sort of mystic expression, is very Russian.

If you happen not to have heard of the Darel Az, or the white cliffs, or the Mountains of the Clouds you feel that there is something lacking, and long for the good old understandable northeast and southwest of the outer world.

Van Horn joked him in understandable terms about the latest wives he had added to his harem and what price he had paid for them in pigs.

Poetry, however, was his solace, and he read much of it, finding his greatest joy in the simpler poets, who were more understandable. He loved beauty, and there he found beauty.

He wanted everything to seem easy and natural and correct, to present himself as a trustworthy and understandable Englishman in a sound mediocre position, to whom refreshment and accommodation might be given with freedom and confidence.

Remorse in the sense of gnawing shame and unavailing regret is only understandable to me when some wrong had been done to a fellow-creature.
