This was all she wanted, and more; and when, about a mile later, she paused for breath, he drew a long one, gave a short whistle, and said: "Well, it's red-hot!" Thus encouraged, she told her story again, and some parts of it for the third and fourth and even fifth time and it grew longer, as our stories have a painful tendency to do when we re-write them with a view to condensation.
A very few seconds, and with the aid of the knife to erase, and the pen to re-write, Ferrers completed his task, with the exception of the change of date, which, on second thoughts, he reserved as a matter to be regulated by circumstances. "I think I have hit off his /m/'s and /y/'s tolerably," said he, "considering I was not brought up to this sort of thing.

Given an intimate knowledge of Far Eastern politics and Far Eastern languages, only a few minutes are required to re-write the demands in the sequence in which they were originally conceived as well as to trace the natural history of their genesis.
Carlyle here, as in every real emergency, bracing his resolve by courageous words, as "never tine heart or get provoked heart," set himself to re-write the volume with an energy that recalls that of Scott rebuilding his ruined estate; but the work was at first so "wretched" that it had to be laid aside for a season, during which the author wisely took a restorative bath of comparatively commonplace novels.
