In the vicinity of a great city, on the broad, much-travelled road, an aged, ailing man was walking. He was staggering as he went; his emaciated legs, entangling themselves, trailing and stumbling, trod heavily and feebly, exactly as though they belonged to some one else; his clothing hung on him in rags; his bare head drooped upon his breast.... He was exhausted.
He drank vin ordinaire, smoked caporal cigarettes, made friends, and was in all as a savage or a much-travelled English gentleman. His uncle Ian had introduced him here as at other places of the kind, and, whatever his ulterior object was, had an artist's pleasure at seeing a layman enjoy the doings of Paris art life. Himself lived more luxuriously.
The spring dusk had fallen around them like a veil by this time, and they were still a little way from any much-travelled street. "It wasn't absurd at all," she repeated "there's nobody but you to care whether I come in or go out, and I like you to be worried, just a little, I mean, not enough to make you, really wretched. I've had the funniest time!
But I can fancy my dear mother's face, when Milly walks into the Towers without me!" said Helena, hurrying away. A half-hour of activity followed, the girls taking Lady Gray's simple packing out of her hands, although that much-travelled prima donna was never disturbed by sudden changes from place to place.
If labels are to be employed, even the least complex of human beings would suggest a much-travelled portmanteau, covered with tags and shreds from hotels and railways.

"My father was a much-travelled man. He was an Englishman and came to the valley by chance and settled here, and to his dying day he was a puzzle to the people.
It was his vision and his dream, his Romance and Adventure, the goal of all his effort, the high reward for the salt-ploughing and the long, long furrows he ran up and down the whole world around in his farming of the sea. In simple taste and homely inclination this much-travelled map was more simple and homely than the veriest yokel.
The two perhaps when stopping to dine at S. Ambrogio would look up and observe the church founded by Giovannia Vincenzo: they had got to build a monastery somewhere; it would very likely, therefore, occur to them that they could not perpetuate their names better than by choosing this site, which was on a much-travelled road, and on which a fine building would show to advantage.
The chalk-cliffs bordering the Downs slope to the sea, and in front are numerous little towns, for the whole coast is dotted with watering-places. A few miles east of Brighton is the port of New Haven on a much-travelled route across the Channel to Dieppe. To the westward of Brighton and in the South Downs is the antique village of Steyning, near which is Rev.
