"I'll come another day and hear your valiant harmonium. I suppose you think everybody should go to church?" "My father went, and I reckon I'll keep on going." "You always do as your father did?" "In most ways." "But not in all? I hear startling tales of new-shaped waggons and other adventures, to say nothing of your breaking up grass next spring."
There she sat, inhaling and absorbing it all the new-coloured, new-shaped life in a fairy palace in an enchanted wood. At fifty tables sat princes and queens clad in all the silks and gems of the world. And now and then one of them would look curiously at Jerry's fare.
Two of the new-shaped projectiles dropped on this mark, left not enough wood to make a match and enough stone to strike a light upon it, while not a splinter of the missile could be found. Judge what would happen if they had fallen on a regiment or into a city.
She lived at Margate. It came to pass that the topping upholsterer there got a new-shaped chest of drawers from London the very first that had appeared in Margate and gave madam, she being one of the high top-families, the first sight of it.

"I was only trying to think how to make a new-shaped basket that people might take a fancy to. Shall I read to you, Aunt Emma?" Emma Smith loved being read to, and hour after hour Huldah spent over a book when she knew she ought to be at her basket-making.
At first, though, the children felt so stiff and funny in their new-shaped dresses made like other children's that they weren't natural, so I pretended we were having a soirée, and I went round and shook hands with every one. They got to laughing so at the names I gave them names that fit some, and didn't touch others by a thousand years that the stiffness went.
His highest ambition, it is true, he has not yet attained. If he could only get his portrait published in a halfpenny paper wearing some new-shaped stock or collar that the hosiers were anxious to bring into fashion, he would feel that there was little left to live for.
