"Quietly," said the hunter. "Always approach dangerous game cautiously when they are down especially buffalo;" and with his finger on the trigger he went up slow-footed. But the buffalo was stone-dead a great bull with an immense boss between the bend of his sharp horns. "It's the luck of hunting," said Mr. Hume, as the boys walked round the great beast.
On the far west coast the crowded multitude was building even as it was building in the East. In the Southwest savage race succeeded savage race, until at last the slow-footed padres overtook the swift-footed Indian and the rude civilization made possible by the priests in turn ran down the priest.
"I wouldn't, Rockwell." "You wouldn't?" "No. You never can really overtake a newspaper lie. Lots of the people who read the lie don't see the denial. Your truth doesn't overtake the lie it's a scarlet runner." "I don't see that. When you're lied about, when a lie like that " "You can't overtake it, Boss. It's no use. It's sensational, it runs too fast. Truth's slow-footed.
Now a nation does not progress upon its brain-pan, as some books would have us believe, but upon its belly as did the Serpent of old; and in the very long run the work of the brain comes to be gathered in by a slow-footed breed that have unimaginative stomachs and the nerves that know their place. All this is very consoling from the alien's point of view.
I did place it there, and lay lapped in its sweet odor while the moments dragged past; heavy, slow-footed moments of strain and dreadful expectation scarcely relieved by a hope uneasy as fear.

Hereupon Walkyn turned and strode away, twirling his axe, but Roger went slow-footed and with head a-droop what time Beltane frowned into the fire, his scowl blacker than ever.
Those minutes were slow-footed, but at last he closed the watch with a snap. He called to a waitress visible at the end of a long passage. The girl happened to be his friend of tea-time. "Would you like to earn another half crown?" he asked. She had wit enough to grasp essentials, and it was abundantly clear that this man was not her lawful quarry. "Yes sir," she said.
Therefore, with many priests going before, singing the Veni Creator, with holy banners as on a pilgrimage; with men-at-arms, archers, pages, and trains of carts; and with bullocks rowting beneath the goad, and swine that are very hard to drive, and slow-footed sheep, we all crossed the bridge of Blois on the morning of April 25th.
Red-headed woodpeckers are gathering acorns and pushing them behind the flaky bark of the wild cherry for use during the late fall; sometimes a little family of the redheads remains all winter. Chipmunks are carrying acorns to their granaries; they dash into their holes with a squeak as if in derision at your slow-footed manner of walking.
