During the term of the stringent Governor Dale some disaffected colonists tried to escape in a shallop and a barge, which were "all the boats that were then in the Colony." Ironically punctuating the sagas of hardship were the marveling descriptions publicized in England.
Ralph retold the story that night from the very beginning to the professor, who listened silently, punctuating his thoughts with the puffs of his pipe. When he had finished, there was an unwonted moisture in the eyes of Professor Thriepneuk perhaps the memory of a time when he too had gone a-courting.
"Aunt Dilsey," he ventured, speaking over his shoulder, with his face averted from her, "mebbe you been noticin' yere lately I seemed kind of downcasted an' shiftless, lak ez ef I had a mood on me?" "Has I noticed it?" she repeated "huh!" The punctuating grunt was non-committal. It might mean nothing; it might mean anything. He cleared his throat and went on,
It begins with a broad sweep of the returning rhapsody, the prologue of the symphony, though without the former conclusion. Now it sings in a strong unison of the strings largamente ed appassionato, and with clang of chord in lower brass. The appealing middle phrase is all disguised in strum as of dance.

Gervaise, with her sleeves rolled up, showing her pretty, fair arms, was soaping a child's shirt. She rubbed it and turned it, soaped and rubbed it again. Before she answered she took up her beater and began to use it, accenting each phrase or rather punctuating them with her regular blows. "Yes, yes, washed I should think I had!

His look, his manner, his long arm, his elvish fore-finger, like an exclamation-point, punctuating his bitter thought, showed the skill of a master. The effect of the whole was to startle everybody, as if a pistol-shot had rung through the hall." Recollections, Vol. II. p. 395.
It was almost as if, knowing this was Celia's child, that Celia whose hatred it had felt from the first, it took pleasure in punctuating his attempt to sleep with shrieks and wailings, with piercing and unearthly cries. Once it tossed a tumbleweed at the window. The great round human-like head looked in and the child, opening his eyes upon it, broke into piteous moaning.
He wrote rapidly and, when he had finished, declaimed his production, punctuating the sentences with looks and gestures. His voice gradually broke, and he uttered the last words with sobs and with the tears streaming down his cheeks. He signed his name with a flourish, added a postscript.
I don't mind for myself; but only think of the people whose homes are here," she finished, just above her breath. Mrs. Greggory was found to be living in two back rooms at the top of four flights of stairs, up which William Henshaw toiled with increasing weariness and dismay, punctuating each flight with a despairing: "Billy, really, I think we should turn back!"
