“The richest woman in the village looks with pride on her taro patch, and although she has female followers enough to allow her merely to superintend the work without taking part in it, she nevertheless prefers to lay aside her fine apron, and to betake herself to the field, merely clad in a small apron that barely hides her nakedness, with a little mat on her back to protect her from the burning heat of the sun, and with a shade of banana leaves for her eyes.
At the end of the month Gibbie went home as usual, telling Ginevra he must be present to superintend what was going on at Glashruach to get the house ready for her, but saying nothing of what he was building there.
Then comes the putting on the great plates, timbers that run lengthwise of the building and match the sills below. Then, if there is time, the putting up of the rafters.

The limits of the new State were carefully defined and a British Resident was established in the Transvaal to superintend the carrying out of these provisions.

The doctor hurried back to his still, which he believed no one could superintend so well as himself.
You'll quit driving the locomotive and superintend on a section of the dam. I'm not satisfied with the fellow who's now in charge. He's friendly with the dago sub-contractors and I suspect I'm being robbed." Dick's eyes sparkled. His foot was on the ladder that led to success; and he did not mean to stay at the bottom.
