All were hungry, as none of the party had eaten since morning. In the hurry of flight, they had made no provision for an extended journey. This oca is a tuberous root, of an oval shape and pale red colour, but white inside. It resembles very much the Jerusalem artichoke, but it is longer and slimmer.
She was even slimmer and smaller than I am; very fair, with a few freckles, and lots of blue veins at her temples. She had an obstinate pink button of a mouth; dimples, which she made come and go every minute by working the muscles of her cheeks; bright, fluffy red hair done high on her head, floating eyes of gray green, and blackened brows and lashes which, I suppose, had started life in red.
And Pierre, in his black cassock, seemed to have grown slimmer and elongated, very slight of build, as he stood there motionless, absorbed in the sublime spectacle. He had lost flesh after his journey to Lourdes, his features too had become less pronounced.
While Lindy well, in her black sewin' dress and white apron, she looks slimmer and more old maidish than ever. He confines his greetin' to a nod of the head, and stands there gazin' at her as calm as if he was starin' at some stranger in the street. "I suppose you've come to take me away with you, Carlos?" says she. "No," says he. "But I thought," says Lindy, "I I thought some day you might.

They were of mixed breed, ranging from the robust, full- blooded African negro to the slimmer and slighter figure of the Central American Indian with long, straight, black hair and copper-coloured skin.
Peter seemed to have opened a door into a crystal-walled world peopled entirely by dryads. He thought of dryads, because in pictures, beings called by that name were taller, slimmer, more graceful, more beautiful, and had longer legs than young females of mortal breed. Unless on the stage, Peter had never seen such dresses or such girls.
To feel conscious that she was not one scrap afraid of this queer girl, to feel conscious also that the girl herself, notwithstanding her extreme naughtiness, could in the end be managed by her, brought such a rush of interest into her life that she forgot everything else for the moment; and, besides, Irene was exceedingly strong, and although she was much slimmer and not so tall as Rosamund, she dragged her down the path with a power that it was almost impossible to resist.
'It would complete the situation if you should find her and fall in love with her yourself! 'That is possible. It has pleased Providence to make me susceptible, whereas you are designed by nature for a monastic life. Our friend's description of his niece calls up an enchanting picture! The "Bella" of the late Titian, but younger and slimmer!
All were hungry, as none of the party had eaten since morning. In the hurry of flight, they had made no provision for an extended journey. It resembles very much the Jerusalem artichoke, but it is longer and slimmer. Its taste is very agreeable and sweetish somewhat like that of pumpkins, and it is equally good when roasted or boiled.
