He'll get something that he doesn't want if he lies there much longer." My Major turned his head, and said briefly, "Poor chap, he's got it." Then I saw that his shoulder-blade had burst through his tunic and was protruding. He'd been coming out, walking freely and feeling that the danger was over, just as we were, when the unlucky shell had caught him.
A short, bald, little man with short legs, long arms, and protruding jaw, ran officiously up and down the room. Without stopping he said in a cracked, agitated voice: "The cost of living is getting higher and higher. An inferior quality of beef, fourteen cents; bread has again risen to two and a half." Now and then prisoners came into the room gray, monotonous, with coarse, heavy, leather shoes.
I suppose the vast flocks of wild geese, that used to darken the sky and fill the air with their shrill "hunk, hunk," when I first went to the north, numbered as many living beings in one mass as that herd; but men no more attempted to count the creatures in flock or herd, than to estimate the pebbles of a shore. Protruding eyes glared savagely sideways.
The rim on his shoulders, his head protruding from the torn eb, frayed ends of broken horse-hair sticking up round his neck, the water trickling down his clothing and dripping from his thin locks, from his big flaring ears, from the end of his long nose, his face rueful and stultified, he presented a sufficiently absurd appearance.

She was dressed in common finery and adorned by cheap jewelry. "What do you think of that, Pinky Swett?" exclaimed Mrs. Bray, in a voice of exultation.
He was a huge, muscular person, with a protruding jaw and a singularly evasive eye; but I reflected that his forbidding expression might be due, in part at least, to the prospect of the long night drive through the woods, to which possibly he objected as much as I did.
Here he paused and drew out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead. But as he went to put it back, it dropped from his hand so that it lay close by and almost upon the protruding piece of paper. He was stooping to pick it up, when he caught sight of a sergeant coming in his direction. Instantly he straightened up, and as he did so the butt of his rifle knocked against the door.
Not by the wildest stretch of imagination could they seem to reach even a quarter of the distance, and protruding grass blades showed that the covering was far too scanty. "Where's your wagon, John?" asked Red Brown suddenly. "Busted," said John, reproachfully. "Have you forgotten?" During the summer preceding, a fever of wagon building had seized the boys.
But we were a good way off, and the log being, as I have before said, very heavy, moved but slowly through the water. We now saw the shark quite distinctly swimming round and round us, its sharp fin every now and then protruding above the water.
