Add to these a coarse slouched hat, much the worse for wear, and a heavy mass of yellow hair much too long, and we can easily understand what the good doctor said of him: "He was wonderfully awkward, but had a sort of independent, go-as-you-please manner that impressed me favorably." "Who are you?" asked the doctor. "My name is James Garfield, from Solon."
And as I slouched past and craned my neck there came a touch to my elbow, and there was a lady dressed all in black standing by the steps, and I knew that it was my cousin Edie. I knew it, I say, and yet had she not touched me I might have passed her a score of times and never known it.

Generally the men slouched when they were not running.
As he neared the house, the little girl ran around the stone chimney, stopped short, shaded her eyes with one hand for a moment and ran excitedly into the house. A moment later, the bearded giant slouched out, stooping his head as he came through the door. "Hitch that 'ar post to yo' hoss and come right in," he thundered cheerily. "I'm waitin' fer ye."
