It certainly does not adequately describe the cowboy of the last twenty years. Another writer, who was himself for more than a quarter of a century engaged in the work of herding cattle, gives a much fairer description of the cowboy. He divides those entitled to this name into three classes, and argues that there is something noble about the name.
She hurries to him with all possible secrecy, keeping her carriage blinds down; he dashes into the brougham to describe the disaster, taking his case with him in his frantic desire to explain things fully.
Meyerbeer's operas are so intricate in their elements, and travel so far out of the beaten track of precedent and rule, that it is difficult to clearly describe their characteristics in a few words.
A man of genius, as you describe him, ought to become a good lawyer; he would excel in the investigation and presentation of facts; but none but a lawyer saturated with the spirit of the law until he comes to have a legal instinct, can with accuracy apply it." This was clear and strong to Barton, and profitable to him.
Again: in regard to this whole French gallery, there is much of a certain quality which I find it very difficult to describe in any one word a dramatic smartness, a searching for striking and peculiar effects, which render the pictures very likely to please on first sight, and to weary on longer acquaintance.
There was an explosion of laughter at this, for Eskimos are tender and indulgent to their children, and seldom or never whack them.

She spoke of being in New York and on Blackwell’s Island, but could not describe what sort of place she was in, saying merely that it was “a good place,” or “a nice country place,” again “a good city.” Once when immediately after her name L. had been spoken and she was asked what the place was, she said “The L.” She knew that she had arrived in the hospital that day but said that she had come from Cleveland, and to further questions, that she had come by train, but she could not tell how she reached the Island.
The effect of these developments upon the aggressive pro-slavery people of Missouri is not easy to describe. Hitherto they had assumed that Kansas would become a slave Territory in the natural order of events. This was the prevailing Southern opinion. At once the people of western Missouri were put upon the defensive. Blue lodges were formed for the purpose of carrying slavery into Kansas.
The house was beyond everything, the actress beyond any one; though to describe again so famous an occasion it has been described repeatedly by other reporters is not in the compass of the closing words of a history already too sustained.
In the course of my stroll, I came upon a lake entirely surrounded with forest, and containing, as I was informed, about four square miles of water, studded with islands varying in size from one to twenty acres. I would describe a point of view which enchanted me.
