For example, we said, his serene obstinacy in small matters was equally exasperating and ridiculous; or, for another instance, so and so; but in summing up we always lumped such failings as "the faults of his virtues," and neglected to catalogue them.
The gaiety of the French stories Chamfort, Segur, Dumas pere, Merimee all lumped together delighted him; and every now and then in gusts there would creep forth from the printed page the wild intoxicating scent of the Revolutions. It was nearly dawn when Louisa, who slept in the next room, woke up and saw the light through the chinks of Christophe's door.
Nothing more. I was afraid Conrad hasn't come. . . . And the Indian wouldn't let any one leave the shack." He took her hands in his and held them tight. "Miss Torrance, much of the outcome of to-night depends on you. We're going to fight harder for you than for everything else lumped together. I must ask you to forget Adrian for the time being. May we trust you?"
Their unwelcome attentions increased her uneasiness of mind; they seemed to tell her of the dubious ways by which men sought to entangle in their toils those of her own sex who were pleasing to the eye: just now, she lumped all men together, and would not admit that there was any difference between them.

A single-member constituency must necessarily contain a minority, and may even contain a majority of dissatisfied persons whose representation is, as it were, blotted out by the successful candidate. Three single-member constituencies which might all return members of the same colour, if they were lumped together to return three members would probably return two of one colour and one of another.
Roughly, both the helps and the hindrances to married happiness can be lumped under one word personalities. Temperament, mannerisms, tastes all that is implied in the distinct individuality of each person make up the chief source of the advantages and disadvantages with which the couple enter marriage.
