At length he reached the thickets and underwood which partly covered the moor in that direction, and probably extended to the verge of the glen where Waverley had been so long an inhabitant.
You've simply put the horse into a steam." "Voznesensky, Bogoyavlensky you ought to know all those stupid names better than I do, as you are an inhabitant; besides, you are unfair, I told you first of all Filipov's house and you declared you knew it. In any case you can have me up to-morrow in the local court, but now I beg you to let me alone." "Here, here's another five kopecks."
In this general plan they considered each inhabitant both as a planter and a soldier who must be provided with arms and ammunition for defence, as well as with tools and utensils for cultivation. As the strength of the province was their chief object in view, they agreed to establish such tenures for holding lands in it as they judged most favourable for a military establishment.
I have rarely seen the Surveillant so pleased with himself as after producing this bon mot. As nobody could prove anything about Meme, he was not locked up in a dungeon; but he lost his job of sweeper which was quite as bad, I am sure, from his point of view and from that day became a common inhabitant of The Enormous Room like any of the rest of us.

And all this human wretchedness was the elaborate work of one man one dull, heartless bigot, living, far away, a life of laborious ease and solemn sensuality; and, in reality, almost as much removed from these fellow-creatures of his, whom he called his subjects, as if he had been the inhabitant of another planet.
Tracy said that when this church was built, in 1800, that island had only fifteen families and ninety-two persons, while Smutty Nose had three families and twenty persons, and Appledore had not an inhabitant upon it.
A short, spare man of some thirty years, wearing an old red flannel shirt, was stretched out upon the bare bunk-boards. Lynch and I contemplated him in silence for a moment. He was no beachcomber or sailor, one could tell that at a glance. His skin had no tan upon it. It was white and soft.
