Frightened at something, just before they reached the artillery, they suddenly broke into a wild stampede, and as they could not escape on either side, owing to the height of the banks and the denseness of the undergrowth, they jumped in among the guns and caissons and floundered about until the whole battery was involved in an almost inextricable tangle, which blocked the road for more than an hour.

Its usual height is from forty to fifty feet, but it is sometimes much taller.
Barry grimly related his experience on the wharf, and as he spoke he detected a light in Little's wide eyes that grew from astonishment at his tale to unbelieving contempt for his own denseness.

If only I had something to lever him out with!" "What do you mean, to lever him out with?" muttered Schomberg hopelessly. Ricardo was impatient with this denseness. "Don't you understand English? Look here! I couldn't make this billiard table move an inch if I talked to it from now till the end of days could I? Well, the governor is like that, too, when the fits are on him. He's bored.

"These things get a little monotonous, don't they?" said Sir Reginald. His smile was sympathetic.
The denseness of the fog hid the men from us, but we could hear their voices, and occasionally a burst of laughter.
