They were tall, muscular, broad-shouldered, small waisted and ankled, round-muscled, black-polished in a word, elegantly powerful. Many of them might have stood as models for Hercules.

Her best time, for she was three or four years older than the King, had been the dainty phrase period; the superfine gallantry days, in a word, the time of the "ruelles," as it was called; and it had so influenced her that she always retained evidences of it.

In the estimation of here and there a man of weak judgment, it was greatly in the parson's power to have helped the figure of this horse of his, for he was master of a very handsome demi-peaked saddle, quilted on the seat with green plush, garnished with a double row of silver-headed studs, and a noble pair of shining brass stirrups, with a housing altogether suitable, of grey superfine cloth, with an edging of black lace, terminating in a deep, black, silk fringe, poudre d'or, all which he had purchased in the pride and prime of his life, together with a grand embossed bridle, ornamented at all points as it should be.
"'Not look at a woman? sais Cran, 'why, what sort of a guess world would this be without petticoats? what a superfine superior tarnation fool he must be, to jine such a tee-total society as that. Mint julip I could give up, I do suppose, though I had a plaguy sight sooner not do it, that's a fact: but as for womankind, why the angeliferous little torments, there is no livin' without them.
"Rheumatic old judges don't smoke superfine cigarettes, Sophy, nor send black tray-bearers in terra-cotta robes out on rainy days for the entertainment of strange ladies. No: this is something, or somebody, young. But since when did Ariel take to tobacco?" "Let's go down-stairs," I suggested, "and wait for that old darky, if he is a real darky and ever means to return."
"I should not like to venture, Ellie, if it must be so superfine; but John can do it for you." "Can he? Do you think he would?" "I am sure he will, if you ask him." "But I don't like to ask him," said Ellen, casting a doubtful glance at the window. "Nonsense, he's only reading the newspaper. You won't disturb him." "Well, you won't say anything about it?" "Certainly not."
BELLA: I know you, canvasser! Dead cod! BLOOM: I saw him, kipkeeper! Pox and gleet vendor! ZOE: Me. Mind your cornflowers. Who's making love to my sweeties? ZOE: Forfeits, a fine thing and a superfine thing. ZOE: Give a thing and take it back God'll ask you where is that You'll say you don't know God'll send you down below. BLOOM: There is a memory attached to it. I should like to have it.
"I will try," promised the officer, his fine, frank, manly face brightening with pleasure. "If the thing can be done, it will be done." Coronado, while hoping that he would be ordered by the southern route, or that he would somehow break his neck, had the superfine brass to say, "Don't fail us, Lieutenant."
A lament for life's wasted sunshine. A new classification of society to be instituted. Instead of rich and poor, high and low, they are to be classed, First, by their sorrows: for instance, whenever there are any, whether in fair mansion or hovel, who are mourning the loss of relations and friends, and who wear black, whether the cloth be coarse or superfine, they are to make one class.
"Will you take some of this thingumbob?" turning a questionable-looking pig's countenance over in its pewter bed. "You are in considerable danger, my friend you are in considerable danger," drawls forth the superfine insider to an outsider opposite. "How's that?" inquires the former in alarm.
