All the bulwarks are gone, and nasty lumping seas come aboard every now and then." "I'm not afraid of a life-line hurting my waist," was the prompt answer, "and neither is Sukie are you Sukie? "And I too," broke in old Father Roget. "Surely I am not too old to help."
They had not yet struck her as absolutely extraordinary which had made for her lumping them with her own, since her view of her own had but so lately begun to change; though it instantly stood out for her that there was really no new judgment of them she should be able to show without attracting in some degree his attention, without perhaps exciting his surprise and making thereby, for the situation she shared with him, some difference.
While the storm effect was perfectly wonderful, she thought it rather detracted from the killing. She did not believe in lumping big stuff together like that. Why not have the killing done by moonlight, and use the storm when the murderer was getting away, or something like that?
A bullet from this, he supposed, would kill any animal, however large, no matter at what portion of his body he aimed. So raising partly to his feet, and steadying himself as well as he could, he aimed for the lumping haunch of the animal. The ball buried itself in his flank, and so retarded his speed, that the next moment the boy found himself beside him.
"Through this fellow Ebers!" broke in Fullaway excitedly. "It's all rot to think that Mrs. Marlow had anything to do with it! Great Scott! do any of you mean to suggest that she engineered several murders, and " Delkin laughed a soft, cynical laugh. "You're lumping a lot of big stuff altogether, Fullaway," he remarked drily. "Do you know what I think of all this business?
A little later, in another department of the Wilmax Cannery, lumping as a fruit-distributor among the women, he essayed to carry two boxes of fruit at a time, and was promptly reproached by the other fruit-lumpers.

Get out, or I'll bite. It's true you've somehow got the smell of mine; but you can't deceive me. Gr-r-r-! Get out!" "There, there, little woman," he said, good-humouredly.
Now this half lac can be no part of the lac and a half, which is admitted on all hands, and proved by the whole body of concurrent testimony, to have been given to Mr. Hastings in one lumping sum.

The boys tells me there's one man gives 'em as much as eight pieces; that's what they calls a lumping ha'p'worth. And the liquor's richer when you boils up so many eels. What's my tin pot ag'in' his five-gallon one? There's even some that boils the 'eads, and sells 'em for a farthing a cupful; but I've not come to that. But we're badly off.
