From the day of his coming to live among them, there had been much curiosity in the stores and houses regarding the tall, gaunt, slow-speaking stranger at Pickleville. George Pike had told Birdie Spinks the druggist how Hugh worked all day over books, and how he made drawings for parts of mysterious machines and left them on his desk in the telegraph office.
Florid and slow-speaking, she had impulses of daring that covered her broad face with immense blushes. She was dressed in grey linsey-woolsey, and wore a black hood after the manner of the stricter Protestants, but she had round her neck a gilt medallion on a gold chain that Katharine Howard had given her already.
They sat down in the big inner studio room; on one side of the fireplace the short, slow-speaking, colourless-looking man who knew the inner blackness of so many whited sepulchres; and on the other side, facing him from across the tea table, this small patrician lady who, having rich kinfolk and friends still richer and a family tree deep-rooted in the most Knickerbockian stratum of the Manhattan social schist, nevertheless chose to earn her own living; and while earning it to find opportunity for service to her Government in a confidential capacity.
One time, all enlisted Stanford tumbled out of their tents, every last one of them, to welcome a big, slow-moving, slow-speaking man, who plays first-base at the Commencement Game.

Headed south again, he had just passed a clump of chaparral when up from the draw came a tall, muscular cowboy, riding a big horse and a fast one, thought Pete. "Evenin'," drawled the cowboy a slow-speaking Texan, who was evidently waiting for Pete to explain his presence. "How! Is this here the Olla ranch?" "One end of her." "I'm lookin' for the foreman." "What name did you say?" "I didn't say."
Stafford King made no reply. He knew, very well he knew, the stories which had been told about the Boundary Gang. He knew a little and guessed a lot about its extraordinary ramifications. He was well aware, at any rate, that it was rich, and that this slow-speaking man could command millions.
Alas! that ever I was born, for that I am that Winfrida who, for ambition's sake and wicked pride, did a most vile thing O my lord Beltane, as thou art strong, be pitiful as thou art deeply wronged, be greatly merciful."
