"I had rather an alarming touch of sunstroke a year ago," he said, "and was altogether such a shattered broken-up creature when I came home on sick leave, that my mother tried her hardest to induce me to leave the service; but though I would do almost anything in the world to please her, I could not bring myself to do that; a man without a profession is such a lost wretch.
But the doctor did not let the dinner pass without carefully examining the rugged piece of metal and the button, and then the piece of refuse, the remains of the broken-up specimen.
At the present they don't build any mo' like that 'ouse is build'! You see those wall', those floor'? Every wall they are not of lath an' plazter, like to-day; they are of solid plank' of a thicknezz of two-inch' and from Kentucky!" The guest recognized the second-hand lumber of broken-up flatboats. "Tha'z a genuine antique, that 'ouse!
At first this process is rapid; it becomes gradually slower and slower as the talus mounts up the cliff and as the cliff loses its steepness, until finally a gentle slope takes the place of the steep. From the highest points in any river valley to the sea level the broken-up rock, which we term soil, is in process of continuous motion.
This false dust resists nitric acid, yet is easily told by weight and bulk; it blows away too with the breath, whilst the true does not. Again, the skippers have to beware of 'fetish gold, mostly in the shape of broken-up ornaments of inferior ley. The Bristolians preserve the old 'round trade, and barter native produce against cloth and beads, rum and gin, salt, tobacco, and gunpowder.

"What will then become of us all?" thought the doctor. "Heaven in mercy protect us!" Harry Shafto was at the helm. The two boats were gliding over the mirror-like ocean, which reflected on its surface the bright stars overhead.
We sought her, called her, thought of her incessantly, and never despaired. That evening I was led into the oldest and most broken-up part of the buildings, perhaps the most exciting locality for our exploration. We selected a little passage with wooden railings overlooking an empty space without any known outlet.
In Noah's Ark the beds were simply scandalous. Noah set the fashion, and it will endure in one degree of modification or another till the next flood. 8 A.M. Passing Isle de Bourbon. Broken-up sky-line of volcanic mountains in the middle. Surely it would not cost much to repair them, and it seems inexcusable neglect to leave them as they are. It seems stupid to send tired men to Europe to rest.
