We paid the heavy bill about six cents and said we would call around sometime when we had a week to spend, and finish the game. We adjourned to one of those pretty cafes and took supper and tested the wines of the country, as we had been instructed to do, and found them harmless and unexciting. They might have been exciting, however, if we had chosen to drink a sufficiency of them.
I now commenced an unexciting row of forty-two miles to Bordentown, on the Delaware, where this artificial watercourse ends. This canal is much travelled by steam tugs towing schooners of two hundred tons, and by barges and canal-boats of all sizes drawing not above seven feet and a half of water.
One morning before we opened the Commission at Warwick I may as well come to it at once my lord and I went for a walk along the road that leads over the bridge by Warwick Castle towards Leamington.

They were in the heart of the great trapping country.
He desisted from this unexciting pastime as they drew near, and eyed them with the sullenness that comes of long isolation when the person's nature forbids that other extreme of babbling garrulity, for no man can live long months alone and remain perfectly normal.
Our greatest contemporary poet tried to celebrate it; his lines are tame and unexciting beside Kinglake's passionate pulsing rhapsody.
The getting in this harvest is 'as business-like and unexciting as weeding onions, or digging potatoes. A set of ragged peasants the country people hereabouts are poorly dressed were clambering barefoot in the trees, each man with a basket tied before him, and lazily plucking the dull oily fruit.
Nevertheless, the game was unexciting, and dragged listlessly. Johnson won. He recorded the fact and the amount with a stub of pencil and shaking fingers in wandering hieroglyphics all over a pocket diary.
