The vast stone shows like a half from which the other half has been sharply cleft and removed, that the sense of its precipitous magnitude may unrelievedly strike the eye; and it seems to have in that moment the whole world to tower up in from the level at its feet. No dictionary, however unabridged, has language adequate to convey the notion of it.
Me for a home- cooked dinner. Here's an unabridged cluster of orchids for Mrs. Wharton, too. If I'd had time I'd have brought you a hanging-lamp or a plush album decorated with sea-shells." He entered the living-room with a hand extended and a smile upon his lips, then halted as if frozen. By the time he had been introduced to Adoree he had burst into a gentle perspiration.
And then see how utterly the man has lost all sense of proportion he has spent hours and days in identifying with uncommon patience the exact date of these tepid scraps, and he says he is content to have laid a single stone in the "unamended, unabridged, authentic temple" of his idol's fame.
"Ranting, prancing, cavorting 'sour-us' right out of Webster's Unabridged, eh, laddy-buck?" "That's all right, if you can only keep on thinking that way, old man; but if yonder isn't a fellow being in a mighty nasty pickle, then I wouldn't even begin to say so! And you look, uncle Phaeton, please."
"Just when something comes up that needs a good round damn I catch that big brown Sunday school eye of his, and it's Bucky back to Webster's unabridged.

Beg pardon, he added, forgot myself. But let us have an English dictionary, if we are to have any. I don't believe in clipping the coin of the realm, Sir!
This Dover edition, first published in 1982, is an unabridged republication of volume three of The Life of Reason; or The Phases of Human Progress, originally published by Charles Scribner's Sons, N.Y., in 1905. Religion is certainly significant, but not literally true. All religion is positive and particular. It aims at the Life of Reason, but largely fails to attain it. Its approach imaginative.
So he chafes continually under what he believes to be the tyranny and despotism of an undefined autocracy, which, in a general way, he calls "the Government," but which really refers to the distribution of certain local offices in his own immediate vicinity. When he hands you his card it bears this unabridged inscription: Colonel George Fairfax Carter, of Carter Hall, Cartersville, Virginia.
The prime place of the former we saw in the last chapter, and we now pass to the latter, the uniqueness of which should first be considered. The Century, the largest complete dictionary of English, claims to have 250,000 words, as against 55,000 in the old Webster's Unabridged.
Fetch on the fellah that makes them long words! he said, and planted a straight hit with the right fist in the concave palm of the left hand with a click like a cup and ball. You small boy there, hurry up that "Webster's Unabridged!"
