Pericles in his bearskin was easily to be distinguished. His companion was Laura Tinley. The Greek moved at rapid strides, and coming near upon Emilia, raised his hands as in exclamation. At once he disencumbered his shoulders of the enormous wrapper, held it aloft imperiously, and by main force extinguished Emilia. Laura's shrill laugh resounded. "Oh! beastly bathos!"

When the rain was over we wandered down to the little disencumbered space before the inn, through a small labyrinth of obliterated things.

Jacob Forney was a thrifty, well-to-do farmer, and a well-known Whig.
The tree caught me about the chest, and while I was yet struggling to make less of myself and get through, the river took the matter out of my hands, and bereaved me of my boat.
