He enlarged the scale of his contributions; and that so prodigiously, that he absolutely carried to head- quarters a force of 35,000 cavalry fully equipped; some go further, and rate the amount beyond 40,000: but the smaller estimate is, at all events, within the truth.
"Well, a minister should be considered above such things," said Sarah loftily. "Not this minister," said Don with conviction, "he's able to take care of himself. Eh, Andra?" "You bet. There's nothin' o' the old hearse about him. He's jist like the rest of us. It'll be a howlin' circus " and he chuckled prodigiously.
In those dark ages ... the Hoopoe was considered as prodigiously skilful in defeating the machinations of witches, wizards, and hobgoblins. The female, in consequence of this art, could preserve her offspring from these dreaded injuries.

This speech seemed to tickle the other prodigiously, for he burst into a loud and boisterous laugh, under cover of which he thrust his pistol back into his coat-pocket again.
I have told you that it was several days later that Des Hermies unwittingly revealed your identity to me. Did I hesitate as soon as I knew? No! I immediately implored you to come." "That may be, but you admit that I'm right when I claim that you wrote your first letters to another and not me." She was pensive for a moment. Durtal began to be prodigiously bored by this discussion.
