His tall, firm, upright figure, among the bulky forms and stooping shoulders of the elderly men, was such as Emma felt must draw every body's eyes; and, excepting her own partner, there was not one among the whole row of young men who could be compared with him.
Then, at the end of the bulky, kindly-meant epistle, dealing with the island news of half a year at least, my friend wrote: "A couple of months ago old Nelson turned up here, arriving by the mail-boat from Java. Came to see Mesman, it seems. A rather mysterious visit, and extraordinarily short, after coming all that way.
But this was "vacation," the district school was closed, and but for the household "chores," which occupied his early mornings, each long summer day was a holiday. So two or three passed; and then one morning, on his going to the post-office, the postmaster threw down upon the counter a real and rather bulky letter, duly stamped, and addressed to Mr. Leonidas Boone!
Smith glanced affectionately at a fish-bag of bulky appearance which stood on the floor between his feet. "All ready," he said, cheerfully, an' if you'd like a v'y'ge yourself I can manage it for you in two twos. You've on'y got to say the word." "I don't want one," said the steward, fiercely; "don't you try none o' your larks on me, Nathan Smith, cos I won't have it."
His bulky body reeled unsteadily. "Come on up bring 'er in hurry up! Gawd, but you'r' blazin' slow!" Ootah and his companions landed. Tugging at the leather lines they drew the walrus one by one from the water to the ice. In these monstrous palpitating black bodies were tons of food and fuel. Without wasting time, they fell to their task and dressed the animals.
Guthrie handed me out this and said he guessed it was for me. Oh, look where it is from, Frank! Do you think can it be possible that it means some news, after all this time, from my father?" Frank saw it was rather a bulky letter and that the postmark showed a station in South America.
But though the breach was large enough to admit him below, he could not squeeze his bulky person through the aperture into the Red Room. "I believe he's gone," he said, returning to Jonathan. "The door's open, and the room empty." "You believe you know it," replied Jonathan, fixing one of his sternest and most searching glances upon him.
Forthwith there issued from an inner apartment a man of low stature, but bulky frame, with shaggy hair hanging about his visage, which was grimed with the vapors of the furnace.
There was no sound or movement, as he accustomed his eyes to the dim light without. He moved across the threshold and walked straight to a bulky figure standing beside a large horse. "You want to see me, Eagen?" he asked coldly. "Watch out there, Eagen!" came Mallory's voice in a strident tone from a window above them. "I've got you covered with this Winchester!"
It was about 1835 that the decline of the legislature's powers set in, when new state constitutions began to clip its prerogatives, one after another. The bulky constitutions now adopted by most of the States are eloquent testimony to the complete collapse of the legislature as an administrative body and to the people's general distrust of their chosen representatives.
