Tom was curiously excited. He felt buoyed up. It was like water-wings, he told himself. And when he tried afterwards to think of the things he had said, he could remember nothing except that he had quoted Alice's perplexity about bats eating cats when she was falling down the well, and that they had both laughed immoderately.
"But if my dooiney molla can't marry my wife, there's one thing he can do for her he can make her house his home in Ramsey when he goes to Douglas for good and comes down here to the coorts once a fortnight." Kate laughed more immoderately than ever; but Philip, with a look of alarm, half rose from his seat, and said across the table, "There's my aunt at Ballure, Pete."
Perhaps we have been ambitious we confess this humbly before the face of all men passionately and immoderately ambitious to attain to the dignity of sovereign pontiff, and to reach this end we have followed every path that is open to human industry; but we have acted thus, vowing an inward vow that when once we had reached our goal, we would follow no other path but that which conduces best to the service of God and to the advancement of the Holy See, so that the glorious memory of the deeds that we shall do may efface the shameful recollection of the deeds we have already done.
This performance completely demoralized the Chinamen who caught sight of it. "Eyah!" they cried, they stopped work, they chuckled, they yelled; they doubled themselves up, some of their pig-tails came down, and one and all they laughed so frankly and immoderately, it was hard to believe that anything like deception could be amongst the faults of these almond-eyed children of the Flowery-Land.

The party were standing together, laughing, some moderately, others immoderately.
McGuffey headed the king off and rounded him up so Scraggs could get at him, and the latter at once "dug in" like a terrier.

It's a wonder they wouldn't open a window in this car!" "Nix on that.
This was the Calhoun doctrine, and the South rejoiced immoderately; the Republicans now began to realize that the courts were in alliance with the slave-power, and they were forced to attack the most sacred political institution in the country. Both parties turned to Kansas to see what could be won there.
I could help you to break in horses. All the O'Haras are good on horseback' at which he laughed immoderately and told her that when she had seen one, Zack Duppo, on a buckjumper, she would not be keen to try that game.
