He stopped to consider whether he shouldn't turn around and retrace his steps; but he was disturbed by the fear that he could never recognize the mouth of the drain-pipe he had come through.
Somehow this news gave me a strange feeling of apprehension, a sensation that later on was to be amply justified. I daresay an historian less punctilious about the truth than I propose to be, would, at this stage of the narrative, insert a whopping lie for the sake of effect, or "action," or "heart interest," as such things are called in the present world of letters.
We've made a whopping big catch, not much under three thousand pounds, I should say enough, at any rate, to keep us all busy till dark. Let's bury the hatchet, handle and all, so deep that it'll never be dug up again! Shake on it!" Whittington ignored Jim's outstretched hand. Trembling with humiliation and anger, he had all he could do to keep the tears from his eyes.
He was evidently also a powerful man, and he possessed the supposed attributes of high birth wonderfully small hands and feet for a person of his size. "Who can he be?" asked Crawford. "A whopping big fellow, at all events," answered Denis; "I'll ask Hendricks."
I'll set up as a show man, and what a glorious treat it will be, to peep through one of the holes all day myself, and get somebody to pull the strings up and down, and when I'm tired of that, I can blaze away upon the trumpet like one o'clock.

She wore white Swiss and a hat with flowers on it, and ribbons and ends of things fluttered here and there.

"Fig of Eden," muttered Jules Marmotte, with one eye on Jeanne, "any fool could saw a better-looking thing out of ice!" "Fish," said fat Caroche the butcher, "that Francois has a rattle in his capote. He'd spend his time better chipping bones on my meat-block." But Jeanne could not bear this the greasy whopping butcher-man!

She smiled at him and turned to watch three boys scrambling up the ladder after the port doctor, carrying great baskets of grapes and flowers and oranges. "I'm going to buy you some grapes those whopping big black ones. It seems the obvious thing to do in Naples, doesn't it?
"And I kiss 'em whenever I get a chance," Gilbert continued, "but all the same I'd like to be a whopping big icicle so as to be able to ignore 'em ... like Roger!" Ninian got up, resolved on going to bed. "Come on," he said, stretching himself. "Our jaw about women doesn't appear to have solved anything!" "It never will," Roger answered, rising too.
