His landlady supplied him with nothing: ever since he had gone to her he had done his own catering, going out for his meals. The last meal, on the previous evening, had been a glass of milk and a stale, though sizable bun, and now he felt literally ravenous.
"Why, from somewhere in Pennsylvania," says Waddy; "some weird little place that I never could remember the name of." "Huh!" says I. "Quite a sizable state, you know. You couldn't ramble through it in an afternoon pagin' Joe Bruzinski." "I suppose one couldn't," says Waddy. "But there must be some way of locating him. Couldn't I telegraph to the War Department?"
On each side stood other buildings, low, long, like barracks, with figures of coolies moving in and out. Workshops, living quarters, power-rooms, he supposed: power-rooms certainly, for a soft hum filled the air. There were two great port-locks at ground level in the dome, one on each side, each sizable enough to admit the largest space-ship and each flanked by a smaller, man-sized lock.
He sat silent, blinking in the sunshine that fell through the gourd-vines which clambered about the porch where Si had placed his chair. "'Twarn't much of a sizable sperit," Si declared; he seemed courageous enough now to measure the ghost like a tailor. "It warn't more'n four feet high, ez nigh ez dad could jedge.

Just as they were about to leave the room they stepped back to allow a newcomer to enter.
I think there must have been a sizable pack of the things." "What killed the dead one?" Buck wet his lips. "I think fear...." His voice dropped a little, almost apologetically, and Travis stared. "The ship is changed. Inside, there is something wrong. When you walk the corridors your skin crawls, you think there is something behind you.

He took this intelligence to the ear of Jules. The chauffeur answered only with a worried shake of his head that said too plainly he was doing his best, extracting every ounce of power from the engine. Ill luck ambushed them in the streets of a sizable town, its name unknown to Lanyard, where another car, driven inexpertly, rolled out of a side street and stalled in their path.
"He air Nate's nevy. He air Nate's oldest brother's biggest boy, though he ain't sizable much. He air 'bout haffen ez big ez me ef that," he added reflectively, thinking that even thus divided he had represented Pig-wigs as more massive than the facts justified.
