"I tell you I just got sentimental, I did, thinking of all I lacked."
The tones of the frolic infants ceased to be nondescript and harsh were in fact almost as fresh and decent as the frilled and puckered and ribboned garb of the little girls, which had always a way, in those parts, of so portentously flaunting the daughters of the strange native that is of the overwhelmingly alien populace at him.
Andy was swinging luxuriously and drawing the last few puffs from a cigarette when Slim, purple and puffing audibly, appeared portentously before him.

James shook his head portentously, and changed the subject.
