Lord Plowden, red-faced and frowning, hesitated for a fraction of time. Then in constrained silence he nodded, and Thorpe, leaning ponderously over the desk, wrote out the cheque.

"Then this is the end of things, is it?" he asked, after an awkward silence, in a voice he strove in vain to keep from shaking.
If so be as she says so, it's got to be, I reckon! he growled; and Ned swung himself up behind, trying hard to make out, as the procession moved off slowly and ponderously at last, what sort of beasts were on the other side of the boards he was leaning against. Suppose they were lions, or suppose the boards got loose?
"Doesn't it?" said Mary idly, watching the kaleidoscope of gay colors moving dizzily about beneath her. "Then suppose you guess." Miss Butts considered ponderously. "You aren't a freshman," she said finally, "nor a sophomore." "How are you so sure of that?" asked Mary. "I was just going to say " "You're a junior," announced Miss Butts, calmly disregarding the interruption. Mary shook her head.
There were no lamps in the room, and the numerous gas-jets of the chandelier shed their lights impartially on ponderously framed canvases of the Bay of Naples and the Hudson in Autumn, on Carrara busts and bronze Indians on velvet pedestals.

"Then I will go back myself," said Mrs. Lander with dignity, "and we sha'n't need the gondoler any more this mo'ning," she added, "unless you and Mr. Hinkle wants to ride."

Though it ain't a finance job." "Ay, that I will. I'm live anyways. I've had to do with 'em before." "You didn't get hanged," protested Jake, after heavy thought.

After seeing the library, we went to the top of the building, where we had an excellent view of Oxford and the surrounding country. Then we went to the Convocation Hall, and afterwards to the theatre, where S sat down in the Chancellor's chair, which is very broad, and ponderously wrought of oak.
They looked at each other with a high degree of mutual respect, and at the Cavendish Apartments he helped her out in a courtly manner, waved his hand at the house as though he were presenting it to her, and ponderously ordered the elevator boy to "hustle and get the keys." She stood close to him in the elevator, and he was stirred but cautious.
Semple ejaculated, with a satisfaction through which signs of an earlier fright were visible. "It was touch-and-go if you didn't lose it all by doing that! You risked everything, man!"
