He lowered his eyes to the numerous papers littering the table, and then, leaning over, traced lightly with a colored pencil a line across an outspread map. "You speak of his knowing the country well; are you aware, then, of your destination?" "I merely inferred from what Colonel Carter said that it was your desire to re-establish communication with General Longstreet."
"I meant to have offered them; then I went and forgot 'em." "I think you did," she answered. "I'll bring you some this afternoon. You don't want them after they've been lying about, do you?" "Oh, I'm not particular," smiled Pussy. "Oh no," he said. "They'll be dusty." He went up to Clara's bench. "Sorry I left these things littering about," he said. She flushed scarlet.
Corina lost contact as the lander lurched, making its firing pass over Prowler, and then made a fast landing. She was out of her seat almost as quickly as Nevan, though he beat her to the door. As soon as all were outside, she said, "Our countdown starts now. Go!" She was badly disturbed by the bodies littering the landing pad.
"Well, that's LIKE you like the Tauchnitzes littering up our track. I'll be bound I'd see it," Delia declared. "Hasn't it come, doesn't it always come?"

In a word, we put the ship in the most unmanageable position, without absolutely littering our decks. The security of the haven, and the extreme beauty of the weather, emboldened the captain to do this; apprehension of every sort appearing to have quite taken leave of him. The work proceeded merrily.
As certainly as the birds appear, comes the crop of summer novels, fluttering down upon the stalls, in procession through the railway trains, littering the drawing-room tables, in light paper, covers, ornamental, attractive in colors and fanciful designs, as welcome and grateful as the girls in muslin.

With his foot he pushed aside some straw that was littering about the place, and he carefully avoided the dung that lay on the stones of the yard. He went down to the village and got the keys.
