I know old Brown fine; he'll hold yuh right down t' what yuh turn over, and he'll tally so close he'll want to dock yuh if a critter's shy one horn damn him. That's why I was wishing you'd bought that way, instead uh lumping the price and taking chances. Only, uh course, I knew just about what was on the range." "Then I will accept the offer. I have been merely considering it until I saw you.
Her little white rabbit came to meet her in a lumping canter as if his back were going to tumble over his head. Her nurse, in her rocking-chair by the chimney corner, sat just as she had used. The fire burned brightly, and on the table were many of her wonderful toys, on which, however, she now looked with some contempt.
"You've not much of a chance now," she said. "She's a fine healthy woman." Osborn sprang up and paced the floor, set upon by a sudden spasm of impotent rage. He snapped his teeth rather like a dog. "Oh! curse her!" he gave forth. "The great, fresh-coloured lumping brute! What did she come into it for?
Then we all jumped up. We did like him so much, and it seemed so unfair that he should be sent to prison, and the horrid, lumping big burglar not. And Alice said, 'Oh, no run!

The worst feature of unionism is the lumping of all together, for where one man is hardly worth his salt, another is a good workman.
The clean linen of his theology is immaculately pure. Never has he fallen under a suspicion of entertaining dangerous or questionable opinions, and he has in a remarkable degree that faculty praised by Saint Paul of being all things to all men, or at least as many men as make a lumping majority. What else could be expected from a Scotchman who has mounted to the spiritual Primacy of England?

A clod is a heavy, lumping blow. Their home was 'broad' of Hurst that is, in the Hurst district, but at some little distance. 'There a' sets' is a constant expression for there it lies.
