"They'll make it interesting for you. Loring's an old-timer and he won't quit. This thing won't be settled until something happens and I reckon it's going to happen soon." "Well, I'm sure sittin' on the dynamite," said Sundown lugubriously. "I reckoned to settle down and git m me farm to goin' and keep out of trouble.
But then his way was blocked by high doors, set in masonry, which could not possibly be climbed or jumped. Before these gates, which evidently led to the stables and rear of the house, Finn sat down on his haunches. Then he lifted his long muzzle heavenward and howled lugubriously.
Soames was not in, he had gone down to Somerset House; Bustard was buried up to the hilt in papers and that inaccessible apartment, where he was judiciously placed, in order that he might do as much work as possible; but James was in the front office, biting a finger, and lugubriously turning over the pleadings in Forsyte v. Bosinney.
Three years ago, when they made it fifty-six hours, we were fools to keep up the pay. I said so then, at the conference, but they wouldn't listen to me. They listened this time. Holster and one or two others croaked, but we shut 'em up. No, they won't get any more pay, not a damned cent." Orcutt had listened patiently, lugubriously. "I told them that." "What did they say?"
He then became a simple spectator, who took strange pleasure in looking death by violence in the face, in its lugubriously fantastic and grotesque attitudes.

All that sort of thing is a thousand miles behind me and I've got to " He stopped short and brooded, his eyes upon the dank sawdust at his feet. "I'm a beast," he repeated rather lugubriously. "She's an angel an Eastern-bred angel. And let me tell you, Kent, all that's pretty hard to live up to!"
Sometimes hearkening to a voice they had confidence in, they rallied at a single point, and then an old bitch, her nose in the air, her capstrings hanging lugubriously on either side of her weatherbeaten cheeks, would utter a deep and prolonged baying; a little farther on the scent was recovered, and, with sterns wagging and bristles erect, they hunted the quarry vigorously.

The tale continued, with eager queries from the interested listener queries which merely stimulated the young laird of Tyee to wilder and more whimsical flights of fancy, to the unfolding of adventures more and more thrilling and unbelievable until, at last, the recital began to take on the character of an Arabian Nights' tale that threatened to involve the entire animal kingdom, and only ceased when, with a wealth of mournful detail, Donald described the tragic death and funeral of the gallant young Johnny Rabbit, his fatherless audience suddenly burst into tears and howled lugubriously; whereupon Donald was hard put to it to bring Johnny Rabbit back to life mysteriously but satisfactorily, and send him scampering home to the hollow hemlock tree, there to dwell happily ever after.
Portheris sat down on the lower end of it. "I really do not feel able to go any further," she said; "the ascent is so perpendicular." I was going to protest that the place was as level as a street, but Dicky forestalled me. "Eucalyptus," he said soothingly, "often has that effect."
