In a few minutes the two coastguard-men were seated at Mrs Maggot's well-supplied board, enjoying the most comfortable meal they had eaten for many a day. It was seasoned, too, with such racy talk, abounding in anecdote, from Maggot, and such importunate hospitality on the part of his better half, that the men felt no disposition to cut it short.
There is a want of "inevitableness" which sometimes amounts to improbability, as in the case particularly of that most vivid and racy of books, Cripps the Carrier, where the central incident or situation, though by no means impossible, is almost insultingly unlikely, and forces its unlikeliness on one at almost every moment and turn.

Such a one of Nature's jokes I saw recently. They were two men. The first was the sort whom one calls an "old boy." A racy individual, well-fed with a round front, an Elk, of course, a city man, reeking of good cigars, and an appraising eye out for a good-looking woman. Beside him sat a man who had been studying birds in the Park. Berkeley was written all over him. A thin, pure type.
"Quit ut! . . . d'ju hear? . . . 'Tis no sort av talk, that, for a sick room. . . ." And hereafter they all avoided the sinister subject.
