For, in obedience to our signals, I saw one of the many Chinamen on board wave his hands as he seemed to be shouting, and the great vessel slowly and cumbrously rounded to, so that in a few minutes we were able to run close alongside.
Heaven knows it was hard enough to get together, without losing it now. I'll have to jump overboard and swim ashore at New York I haven't even a dollar for tips." "New York!" said little Scatchett with her eyes glowing. "If Henry meets me I know he will " "Tut!" The Big Soprano got up cumbrously and stood looking down. "You and your Henry!
Then, if I decide to send it, I can send it from the hotel over there at the landing-steps before we return to the yacht." Sir Charles Hardiman rose cumbrously with a shrug of his shoulders.
Ruiz Gregorio Maria y Alvarez Mattacheco, familiarly and less cumbrously known as "Mexican George," was a mere murderer, with a quick eye for gun-sights and a ready and itching trigger finger. But he was no Vidoeq, to know by instinct which of the two trails, the canyon passage or the longer route over the hills, Ford had chosen.
Near the uneven road among the hills a small field of stony ground lay between woods and cultivated land. Nothing grew upon it and no house could be seen from it. The sun beat upon it and crows flew over it to and from the woods. Along the road trudged a thin old negro with stooping back and gray wool.

So the whole process of education becomes a dreary wrestling with the uninteresting and the unattainable; and when we have broken the neck of infantile curiosity with these uncouth burdens, we wonder that life becomes a place where the only aim is to get a good appointment, and play as many games as possible.

And the silver on the table, cumbrously magnificent, it was worth a small fortune. Outside the humor of his own presence there, he had found the affair tedious, especially that last hour in the drawing-room. It was the sort of place that had always bored him even when he was young, governed by narrow, feminine standards, breathing a ponderous respectability from every curtain fold.
It was like, in a nightmare, trying with leaden limbs to crawl away from danger. And then she began: She resumed precisely at the point where she had left off.
