If no way where we can get up, then Utes sit down to starve us." "That will be a longish job, chief. A horse a week will keep us for three months." "If no food for horse, horse die one week." "So they will, chief. We must wait till Harry comes back, then we shall know what our chances are." It was six hours before Harry and Sam returned.
We shall want some short blocks of wood to put under the stones as we raise them. I expect they are all five inches thick, and they must be a very big weight. Evidently it is going to be a longish job. As we have been a fortnight without fresh meat, Dias had better go off and buy half a dozen sheep. We won't have dead meat this time.
Stopping long, doctor?" "Only just to look round," answered Bryce. "I'm off tomorrow morning eleven o'clock," said Harker. "It's a longish journey to Wrychester for old bones like mine." "Oh, you're all right! worth half a dozen younger men," responded Bryce. "You'll see a lot of your contemporaries out, Mr. Harker.
It was low and longish, roofed with turf and built of unmortared stones; and on a mound in front of it, an old gentleman sat smoking his pipe in the sun.

"Was there one," I asked, "dressed like a gentleman?"
It represented a very dark brunette with a longish face and lips pursed up in a discreet smile.

"To California," said Will, smiling at the abrupt commencement of the conversation. "H'm, a longish bit. Come far?" "From England." "H'm, a longish bit, too. Lost and starvin', I see."
We shall soon see. I have a sort of interest in the matter, for I had a grievance myself, and I have still, only I went about things in a different way looking for redress, I mean." "What did you do?" "It's a longish story, and quite a different line from yours, and it would bore you to hear, even if you understood it. I got into the House and made myself a nuisance.
It was a longish beam of heart of oak, sound and strong, useful either as a support or as an engine of attack a lever for a burden, a ram against a tower. "Ready!" shouted the chief. All six, getting foothold on the stump of the mast, threw their weight on the spar projecting over the side, straight as a lance towards a projection of the cliff. It was a dangerous manoeuvre.
I suppose you will understand that by that time I could not think of washing my hands of him. I took him away from Bankok in my ship, and we had a longish passage. It was pitiful to see how he shrank within himself.
All this sounded like a longish stay, thought Schomberg, satisfied under his grave air; till, remembering the girl snatched away from him by the last guest who had made a prolonged stay in his hotel, he ground his teeth so audibly that the other two looked at him in wonder.
