Why don't you answer, you shamble shanked beggar's baby? Go to the Bursar, and tell him to send supper for six and claret for sixteen; served up to a minute. Do you hear? D my body, I'm glad to see you! We'll make a night ont! What, are you come to enter at our college? 'Yes' 'D my soul, I'm glad ont! D n me, our college will be the go! D n me, we are a rare string already!
His measured, springless walk was the walk of the skilled countryman as distinct from the desultory shamble of the general labourer; while in the turn and plant of each foot there was, further, a dogged and cynical indifference personal to himself, showing its presence even in the regularly interchanging fustian folds, now in the left leg, now in the right, as he paced along.
Stay, fellow," for Moniplies, muttering somewhat about finishing his breakfast, was beginning to shamble towards the door, "answer me this farther question When you gave your master's petition to his Majesty, gave you nothing with it?" "Ou, what should I give wi' it, ye ken, Master George?" "That is what I desire and insist to know," replied his interrogator.
As he came forward, embarrassment made him shamble, and for the first time in his life he was angrily conscious of a poor figure. Her first question dashed out the spark of his zeal. "Oh," said she, "are you employed here?" Thoughtless Virginia! You little know the man you have insulted by your haughty drawl. "Yes." Then find Mr. Carvel, won't you, please?
It was an imposing portico to a shamble of sheds. The railway terminus is the real gate of the modern city. Yet what absurdly incongruous things these London city gates are a salad jumble of architecture and machinery with a mayonnaise of train-oil and soot!

This leaves 'Nri and 'Seph, who through physical or mental shortcomings are denied the proud privilege, and shamble about in the muck and mud of the farm, leering or grumbling, while Madame exhorts them to further activity from the kitchen door. They take their meals with the family: where they sleep no one knows. External evidence suggests the cow-house. Then, the family. First, Angèle.
The man hesitated, scowling blackly at the heeling vessel, momentarily increasing her distance from shore. Then with a crafty smile, "Two pound'," he declared. The American nodded.

He ran for the dear life; no one would have believed he could shamble along at the rate he did. His tent was half a mile off; he would be a dead man long ere he could reach it. He turned his yelling head as he ran, to see. The fleet savage had already diminished the distance between them by half. Crawley now filled the air with despairing cries for help.
She was shelling peas one evening for Sallie, and she distinctly saw him shamble out of the window here, and go shuffling along, mid-air, across the roaring washpot down below, turn sharp round the high corner of the house, sheer against the stars, in a kind of frightened hurry.
