She is tall and raw-boned, she walks with her toes turned out, she has a most peculiar lurching gait like a camel's.

Ever hear of that?" The main column of soldiers far below poured up to the village and went down the straggly street in a tide of dark figures. The village was very small.

The Director looked imploringly at his cousin. He seemed anxious for her to agree with him. Shrugging her shoulders, she replied: "I certainly see no resemblance between the tousled looking small savage and Cornelia.
I had just borrowed a good supply of apples from mine host, and had almost decided to seek shelter in an outhouse as a last resource, when I came upon a fair-sized heap of sticks, over which a hop plant sprawled, forming a straggly green covering.

Following the energetic Smythe outside into the street, he found that some yard and a half of stamp paper had been carefully gummed along the glass outside, and on this was written in straggly characters, "If you marry Smythe, he will die." "Laura," said Angus, putting his big red head into the shop, "you're not mad." "It's the writing of that fellow Welkin," said Smythe gruffly.
