There is now such a commingling of the people that particular idioms and pronunciation are no longer localized to any great extent; the country has filled up "from the centre all around to the sea"; railroads connect the two oceans and all parts of the interior; maps, nearly perfect, of every part of the country are now furnished the student of geography.
The other policeman, a sergeant by this time the voices had localized themselves in persons laughed with reluctant admiration. "Him! He's got siven lives like a cat. Take a look at the Sea Siren, Tim. 'T is kindling the lad has made of the place.
Benderson, who had that gift abnormally developed, was too valuable to be localized; so he spent the year going from place to place, sweeping, driving, coaxing, or frightening into the fold those stray sheep that hovered on the outskirts; once they were within the religious ring- fence the local minister was supposed to keep them there.
Savonarola acknowledged the receipt of the Pope's request, but made excuses, and asked for time. Alexander certainly did all he could to avoid an open rupture with the Prior of Saint Mark's. He was inwardly pleased when Savonarola affronted the Medici it was a thing he dared not do and if the religious revival could be localized and kept within bounds, all would have been well.

Now came a dozen farles of cake, crisp and toothsome, from the girdle, and three large scones raised with yeast. Then followed, out of some receptacle not too strictly to be localized, half a pound of butter, wrapped in a cabbage-leaf, and a quart jug of pewter. Ralph looked on in amazement. "Where did you get all these?" he asked. "Get them? Took them!" said Jock succinctly.

Of five cases seen by Dana, three were in females and two in males; in all the cases that could be found the origin was between the tenth and twentieth years.
Several other deep-sea fishes, locally phosphorescent, seem to have been dredged up by the French ship Talisman in its exploring cruise off the west coast of Northern Africa in 1883. During the same expedition, a number of deep-sea phosphorescent crustaceans were dredged up, the phosphorescence being in some cases diffused over the whole body, in other cases localized to particular areas.
One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war.
We were but one snapping loop of the fighting too localized to affect the main front. The Austrians gave all in a piece, when they drew back. Days were the same, a steady suffering. I did not know before what men could stand.
