Pardee's you find to be a plain box-like two-story frame house in a quiet and commonplace residential district. Plainly almost scantily furnished as to living room and dining room. The dining room comfortably seats just twenty, but the Pardees "take" eighteen diners no more. This because Mrs. Pardee has eighteen of everything in silver.
But, not withstanding all this martial rout and invitation, the ranks of honor were but scantily supplied, so averse were the peaceful burghers of New Amsterdam from enlisting in foreign broils, or stirring beyond that home which rounded all their earthly ideas.
I spoke kindly and took the chair she proffered, being very careful not to appear to notice the scantily furnished room. "Well," said Louis, "Mrs. Moore, are you ready to let your boy go with me?" "Oh, sir," she said, "only too willing; but I have been afraid you would not come.
The waters of the other, the Saskatchewan, discharge into Hudson Bay more than a thousand miles from their source, flowing through rich prairie land which is still but scantily peopled.

He was compelled to labor very hard, was scantily supplied with food and clothing, and lodged in a little ricketty hut, through which the cold winds of winter whistled freely. He was of a very religious turn of mind, and often, when alone in his little cabin at midnight, he prayed earnestly to God to release him from his sufferings.
The mystery was revealed upon entering. A half dozen steaming tubs were scattered over the paved floor, and by each of them stood a scantily attired woman with a dirty yashmak covering her face.
He had not believed that a human home could be so dismal, and he could not understand how haircloth furniture and dimness could make it so. His father's house was certainly not very large; and it was scantily and plainly furnished, but no Arabian palace had ever seemed so splendid to his imagination as that home was dear to his heart. No, it isn't the furniture nor the smell, thought he.
