Tall, angular figures bearing burdens or weapons stalked in an uncouth frieze round the apartments. Above were bull-headed, stork-headed, cat-headed, owl-headed statues, with viper-crowned, almond-eyed monarchs, and strange, beetle-like deities cut out of the blue Egyptian lapis lazuli.
HOW I come not to have a last name is a question that has always had more or less aggervation mixed up with it. I might of had one jest as well as not if Old Hank Walters hadn't been so all-fired, infernal bull-headed about things in gineral, and his wife Elmira a blame sight worse, and both of em ready to row at a minute's notice and stick to it forevermore.

"James!" Mrs. Delancy exclaimed, in mild remonstrance.
It must not, however, be unreasonable in its demands, neither bull-headed, nor seek to travel too fast otherwise it may lose more than it will gain.
Edd and George answered to it with whoops as wild, and they galloped their horses over ground and through brush where they should have been walked.
