I came on to Southampton, and there I saw the last of the birds, as I came ashore; it was the one the engineers bought, and it was standing up near the bridge, in a kind of crate, and looking as leggy and silly a setting for a valuable diamond as ever you saw if it was a setting for a valuable diamond. "How did it end? Oh! like that. Well perhaps.
The new "depot," the smartly-painted pine houses, the spacious brick hotel, the white meeting-house, and the row of youthful and leggy trees before it, are exhilarating.

Jerry's six feet two topped the sailor by more than two inches, though I believe the latter would have a few pounds of extra weight. "Big rascal, ain't he?" the sportsman in the adjoining box commented. "Yep," grunted the stolid one. "But too leggy. Clancy'll eat him alive eat him alive," he repeated with more unction than before.
