Buller measured his distance, took a short run, and sent the ball in with the energy begotten of long mugging at algebra on a fine afternoon.

He taught me to play on it, said Lance; 'that is, he showed me a little; but Robin made me lock it up and give her the key all last spring, for fear of hindering my mugging; and I can't touch her now, so she has been very little use to me.
"Wen' sleep when I got tired," he said. He was one of those big laughing Hawaiians who float like buoys, heads up out of the water. Joe strolled through the zoo. The gorilla was famous.

CAPT. M. Nearly eleven. CAPT. G. Five hours more. O Lord! 'Wonder if it's going to spread. CAPT. G. I can't eat anything. I don't want any breakfast. None of your bridal airs and graces with me!

Trying to pretend he is a 'Varsity man, when everybody knows that he went to the Royal College of Science! I suppose he's been mugging it up in a book."
