Johnny turned his head ponderously and nodded. "Pleased to meet you, stranger. An' what'll you all have?" "Old Holland, mate," replied the other, joining them. "All up!" invited Hopalong, waving them forward. "Might as well do things right or not at all. Them's my sentiments, which I holds as proper. Plain rye, general, if you means me," he replied to the bartender's look of inquiry.
Tommy aimed at the base of that tail and pulled the trigger, praying frenziedly. A stream of flame leaped from the gun-muzzle. Explosive bullets uttered their queer cracking noise. The thing screamed horribly. Its cry was hoarsely shrill. The flashlight showed it swinging ponderously about, with Evelyn held fast against its body in a fashion horribly reminiscent of a child holding a doll.
Johnson who declared, rather ponderously, it is true, but none the less shrewdly, that "the irregular combinations of fanciful invention may delight a while by that novelty of which the common satiety of life sends us all in quest; but the pleasures of sudden wonder are soon exhausted and the many can only repose on the stability of truth."

"Those fellows ought to be at it before this," I said to him, "if they intend to accomplish anything to-night." "I dink so too," he answered slowly. "I vill see dot der guard is all right, an' den vill get some sleep, for I am pretty moch done op already." He arose ponderously to his feet, and stretched out his short arms in a prodigious yawn.
"A police inspector, sir, from Barnstaple, is waiting in the study." Mr Inspector Gillian of Barnstaple had no idea of denying his profession.

He was seven years at this work, finishing it in 1755. He intended to model these papers on the lines of The Tatler and The Spectator, but his essays are for the most part ponderously dull and uninteresting.
