unwonted

The moon seemed to smile on him; the aurora appeared to dance with unwonted vigour, as if in glee; the very stars winked at him!

Anselme, thus enjoined, lent an unwonted alacrity to his movements, waddling grotesquely like a hastening waterfowl.

He soon experienced an unwonted sense of fatigue, then a drowsy sensation came over him.

He noticed too that the vicar's sister now shook hands with him with an unwonted pressure.

By this time they were joined by the mate and the rest of the crew, who had heard the unwonted sounds and hurried on deck.
