But Chicago wuz younger and spryer, and could kick stronger and cut up higher. New York wuz older and lamer, as you may say, its jints wuz stiffer, and it had lost some of its faculties, which made it dretful bad for her. It wuz forgetful; it had spells of kinder losin' its memory, and had had for years.
All the same the change was gradual and some grading is not in a garden, it is in a sample of a ceiling and there is no freezing. This means that the same time is occupied. It means that a whole might of loudness is not lamer than anything. And yet it is not done and it is curtained by a finish. This does make the whole holder and suction is not anticipated emigration.
What father does is to call up every one he knows within twenty miles and tell 'em, 'Say Tom, Bill, Harry, or whatever his name is 'what in the deuce do you suppose I've got over here in my barn? A lame horse that wants to trot! Lamer than the deuce, you know! But can do a mile in 2.40." Faintly the little blue smile quickened again in the White Linen Nurse's eyes.
The lamer a political solution was, the brighter appeared to me its prospect of being accepted In the world of realities. In fine, I only care for characters of an absolute idealism: martyrs, heroes, utopists, friends of the impossible. They are the only persons in whom I interest myself; they are, if I may be permitted to say so, my specialty.
Several times Jeremiah came out of the parlour in which his brother John was sitting in expectant silence, and, passing through the shop, looked up and down the market-place in search of the old lame woman, who was charitably employed to deliver letters, and who must have been lamer than ever this morning, to judge from the lateness of her coming.
The man rolled stiffly out of bed and began rattling at the stove in the dark, cold kitchen. His wife arose lamer and stiffer than usual and began twisting her thin hair into a knot. Sam did not stop to wash, but went out to the barn. The woman, however, hastily soused her face into the hard limestone water at the sink and put the kettle on. Then she called the children.
A fragment of an arrow still sticking through one of his hind-legs told what had made him lame in the first place, and the marks of wolf-teeth explained why he had grown lamer and lamer until all he could do was to turn his back to the rock and stand at bay.
In considering these reverses, there are many things to be taken into account besides the constitution and customs, whether good or bad, of our American banks, many things which do not even confine themselves to this continent, but are spread over the greater part of the civilized world. Mr. Buchanan is still lamer in his suggestion of remedies than he is in his inquiry after causes.
When we drove up to the Blue Boar after a drizzly ride, whom should I see come out under the gateway, toothpick in hand, to look at the coach, but Bentley Drummle! As he pretended not to see me, I pretended not to see him. It was a very lame pretence on both sides; the lamer, because we both went into the coffee-room, where he had just finished his breakfast, and where I ordered mine.
The poetry of Queen Anne's time and thereabouts, I judge to have been at the lowest bathos of badness; all satyrs, and swains, fulsome flattery of titles, and foolish adoration of painted shepherdesses: poor weak hobbling lines, eked out by 'eds and expletives, often terminated by false rhymes, and made lamer by triplets and dreary Alexandrines; ill-selected subjects, laboured, indelicate, or impossible similes, passions frigid as Diana, wit's weapons dull as lead.
