Both his characters and his descriptions he renders, as much as possible, specific and individual, even to a degree of portraiture. In his diction and metre, on the other hand, he is comparatively careless.
Fire holes were never located in interior rooms. A part of this pottery lining can be seen in the illustration. When the room was cleared out the fire hole was found to be about half full of fine ashes. The ruins of the lower Verde valley represent a comparatively late period in the history of the Pueblo tribes.
The writing of the books which have given him immortality was little more than an accident in his career, a comparatively trifling and casual item in the total expenditure of his many-sided energy. He was nearly sixty when he wrote Robinson Crusoe.
Gladstone declared his mind to be open on the subject, and invited the Nationalists to propound a practicable scheme of self-government, had encouraged us to hope that this day might soon arrive. Three facts stood out in the history of this comparatively quiet session, each of which brought us further along the road we had entered.
They tell us they are opening windows of enlightenment and doors of progress. The truth is that they are breaking up the whole house of the human intellect, that they may abscond in any direction.

"They do have chemical extinguishers," said Ned. "Yes, for little baby blazes that have just started," went on Mr. Nestor.
The whole of the loss fell upon a comparatively small number of the English regiments, and as the French had 9000 men in reserve who had not fired a shot, there was no season why the greater portion of the army, with all the cavalry, should not at once have followed on the track of the beaten Russians. Had they done so, the war in the Crimea would have been over in three days.
It seemed to fall solid, in masses, soaking through rugs, top-coats, and waterproofs, that we had before deemed impervious.
