Jane, a tender-hearted, old-fashioned woman, who cried and fretted easily, and worried over trifles, was a good housekeeper, and a fond mother a fat, dumpy little woman with a doleful voice. She was always urging her brother not to puzzle his head about writing; writing and thinking, she said, were "bad for the head."
Long ago oh, how long it seemed to her there had come to the Asylum a short, dumpy woman, with a merry face, who brought her this hair in a box, telling her it was her mother's, and also that she was going to a far country, but should return again sometime and this woman was Marie, who haunted her dreams so often, whispering to her of magnolias and cape-jessamines.
"I'm getting wider awake every minute. You were right about making us get up, Katherine. If I'd slept as long as I wanted to I'd have felt 'dumpy' all day, but now I feel fine and just full of pep." "So do I," said Gladys. "I don't," said Hinpoha dolefully. "I guess I'm not much of a sport, but I'm getting sleepier every minute."
I soon started them, and, singling out a fat pig, ran tilt at him, In a few seconds I was up with him, and stuck my spear right through his dumpy body. Just as I did so, I saw that we were on the edge of a precipice, whether high or low I knew not; but I had been running at such a pace that I could not stop, so the pig and I gave a howl in concert and went plunging over together.

It is about six feet long, and no less than five feet in circumference at its thickest part. It is a perfectly smooth, and what we may call dumpy fish, of a leaden colour, with a semicircular flat tail, and a large mouth with thick fleshy lips, resembling those of a cow. There are stiff bristles on the lips, and a few scattered hairs over the body.
Miss Sophia Pitskiver, according to all ordinary ideas of romance and true love, had no right whatever to indulge in such luxuries, being more adapted to make pies than enter into the beauty of sonnets to the moon. She was short, stout shall we be pardoned for saying the hateful word? she was dumpy, but a perfect picture of rosy health and hilarious good-nature.
And when a few minutes later she was shown into the private office of her future employer, she almost laughed in his fat round face so absurd in that first moment did all her little qualms appear. "He's forty and he loves his meals." And she answered his questions so blithely, with such an anxious friendliness, that the dumpy man who sat at the desk was plainly attracted and easily caught.
I was called in, to find Miss Mildare breaking down from suspense, and the overstrain of inaction. And to avert even worse evils, I prescribed the tonic of danger. There was no choice In at last!" The Sister of Mercy and the girl had vanished behind the dumpy earth-bag walls.
Well, his wife elect appeared to me to be a clever and amiable lady, as far as I could judge from the little I saw of her, and from your account. Now to that flattering sentence must I tack on a list of her faults? M. thought you grown less, did she? I am not grown a bit, but as short and dumpy as ever. You ask me to recommend you some books for your perusal. I will do so in as few words as I can.
