As to taking out a summons, it’s quite a hopeless case if Simmons attends it, on behalf of the parish. Hobler’s. See him again on Sunday in his state-coat and cocked-hat, with a large-headed staff for show in his left hand, and a small cane for use in his right.
With that he went out, and soon returned with a short, stout, broad faced, large-headed man of forty or thereabouts. His manner was perfectly well-bred and self-possessed, and I took him to be a clergyman, especially as the iron-master addressed him as "Brother Horton." "Now," said he, "welcome to 66° north, and prosperity to free America! Are you for Buchanan or Fremont?"
'Certainly not, replied Bob Sawyer. 'Very singular things occur in our profession, I can assure you, Sir, said Hopkins. 'So I should be disposed to imagine, replied Mr. Pickwick. Another knock at the door announced a large-headed young man in a black wig, who brought with him a scorbutic youth in a long stock.
"But a dolphin has no wings," I remarked. "Oh, hasn't it?" rejoined the Gipsy; "its fins are its wings, if it hadn't wings it could not be a Seemor."

The rescuer put his arm in Luke's, and they walked off together. He had not seen her, and she was disappointed. She followed at a short distance behind them. The large-headed man spoke occasionally, but Ackroyd seemed to make brief reply, if any.

The life of these Ecitons is not all work, for I frequently saw them very leisurely employed in a way that looked like recreation.
Here, were the fish not sufficiently thinned out every year by anglers, they would soon become large-headed, brown, and flabby, and cease to grow. Many a good stream has been spoilt in this way, when a squire has unwisely preferred quantity to quality of fish.
Why, I don't know, but you won't. I know it. You'll have to leave before you get on with that book." He mused for a moment, and then said: "Isn't that a little prejudiced, Elsie?" "Perfectly ridiculous. As an argument it hasn't a leg to stand on. But there it is," she replied, her mouth once more full of the large-headed hat pins. Oleron was reaching down his hat and coat. He laughed.
Next him, again, is a large-headed man, with black hair and bushy whiskers; and opposite them are two or three others, one of whom is a little round-faced person, in a dress-stock and blue under-waistcoat.
Possessed of diverse kinds of feet and lips and teeth, they had diverse kinds of arms and heads. Clad in diverse kinds of skins, they spoke diverse kinds of languages, O Bharata! Skilled in all provincial dialects, those puissant ones conversed with one another. Some were long-necked, some longnailed, some long-legged. Some amongst them were large-headed and some large-armed.
