Perhaps my freighterage spaces, with passing years, had grown less expansive or less accommodating or something. Likewise, I invited his consideration of the fact, which was not to be gainsaid either, that many men very much less elaborated than I in girth customarily ate very much more than I did. I recalled, offhand, sundry conspicuous examples of this sort.
So much Hal gathered from the offhand and cheerily friendly greetings which were exchanged between the head of the vast concern and such employees, important or humble, as they chanced to meet in their wanderings. First they went to the printing-plant, the Certina Company doing all its own printing; then to what Dr. Surtaine called "the literary bureau."
Lin Tao-yue had, in point of fact, made up her mind to display, on this evening, her extraordinary abilities to their best advantage, and to put down every one else, but contrary to her expectations the Chia consort had expressed her desire that no more than a single stanza should be written on each tablet, so that unable, after all, to disregard her directions by writing anything in excess, she had no help but to compose a pentameter stanza, in an offhand way, merely with the intent of complying with her wishes.

It's wretched going about with a headache, and I can't make believe to enjoy Birmingham." Eve spoke hurriedly, still regarding Hilliard, who looked upon the ground.

This was a bitter disappointment to the expectant trio, and the disappointment was not softened by the offhand and independent manner in which they were treated, for the agent hinted at inordinate expectations, smiled openly at Peggy's inquiry about a moat, and floated off to attend to another inquirer, as if any other subject were worth considering when the question of Colonel Saville's future home was on the tapis!
His brain was like a seed-pod full of seeds which flew carelessly around, and from which have sprung nearly all our modern types of story.

To him must be ascribed the monstrous progeny of writers on the detection of crime "quorum pars parva fui!"
What, I cannot say, for King Valoroso roared out 'POOH, stuff! in a terrible voice. 'We will have no more of this shilly-shallying! Call the Archbishop, and let the Prince and Princess be married offhand! So, married they were, and I am sure for my part I trust they will be happy.
