They do not make a row because of a hammer or a lost piece of india-rubber; if they live with anyone they do not regard it as a favour and, going away, they do not say "nobody can live with you." They forgive noise and cold and dried-up meat and witticisms and the presence of strangers in their homes. They have sympathy not for beggars and cats alone.
In structure it was composed of a strong flexible frame of whalebone and steel, covered with silk, strengthened and rendered air-tight and water-proof by a coating of India-rubber. Its size, of course, would depend on the proposed tonnage of a particular ship.
However, both the corpulent little lord and his untidy wife were out of the way when Miss Greeby was announced, and Agnes was thankful that such was the case, since the interview was bound to be an important one. Miss Greeby, as usual, looked large and aggressively healthy, bouncing into the room like an india-rubber ball.
'Oh yes, and what she's been a undergoing of, only this day, cried a great many voices. 'There's a good man, do. 'The presents that have been made to him, said Mr Kenwigs, reverting to his calamity, 'the pipes, the snuff-boxes a pair of india-rubber goloshes, that cost six-and-six

I'll get you something an india-rubber contrivance to practise with for half an hour a day, and you'll develop a hand like a gorilla's." Dr. Murdoch grinned his way, in his little car, to his next patient.
They spread out like the top of the grass-tree, and the fruit has a large kernel about the size of an egg, with a hard shell; the inside has the taste of a cocoa-nut, but when roasted is like a potato.
