Lady Ladislaw was busied with her own concerns; she sometimes went away for two or three days leaving no one but an attenuated governess with even the shadow of a claim to interfere with Mary.
Afterwards I came to see it, and at the same time to see what was Irving's own in Irving; to feel his native, if somewhat attenuated humor, and his original, if somewhat too studied grace. But as yet there was no critical question with me.
From the next room there came a succession of husky sibilant sounds, as though someone were whispering hurriedly and continuously. After her subdued greeting, she looked inquiringly at Jim. 'She's in a taaking way, said Jim, who looked more attenuated and his face more like a pink and white parchment than ever. 'She's been knacking an' taaking a long while. She woau't know ye.
The expression of his face was grave, majestic, and noble; and yet between those handsome features and the attenuated face of the dying pauper Faith soon perceived one of those resemblances, strong, yet indefinable, which are so apparent to some persons, so undiscoverable by others.

There is a remarkable valley on the S.W., which, cutting through the border at a wide angle, suddenly turns towards the S.E., and descends the slope of the glacis in a more attenuated form.
This makes a proud addition to my hitherto rather small list of game, which now comprises jack-rabbits, a badger, a fierce gosling, an antelope, and a thin, attenuated coyote, that I bowled over in Utah. >From this ridge an extensive view of the broad, billowy plains and surrounding mountains is obtained.
