"Aye the diphtheria! You are rich, Mr. Spooner; you can follow your cattle into a healthier country than this. My advice to you is Get!"

"What's the matter with Pap?" she asked, shrilly.
But you were honest, and I liked you. I went so far as to take my meals with your family. I made myself at home in your back parlour. He shook his hair sadly and shambled out of the shop. Crowl would have gone after him, but Mrs. Crowl was still calling, and ladies must have the precedence in all polite societies.
Maurice's "fellows," shepherded by their host, shambled speechlessly along in the background. The instant that they saw the bride they had fallen into dumbness. Brown said, under his breath to Hastings, "Gosh!"
Towards Kate, who stood trembling in the door, Bart cast the departing favor of a throat-tearing growl, and then shambled across the meadow with that smooth trot which wears down all other four-footed creatures. He was already on the far side of the meadow, and beginning the ascent of the first slope when the glint of the sun on the yellow wild flowers flashed on the eye of Kate.

The policeman took her by an arm and drew her forward to make room for a fresh consignment of wickedness from the cells at the side.
The other man, in nondescript garments that were both of the sea and shore, and that must have been uncomfortably hot, slouched and shambled like an overgrown ape.

I shambled over to Raadhusgaten, and stood awhile by the cab stand, watching the entrance to the Victoria. But, of course, she had gone to see some friends.
Queerington. "He likes to see where he is going, don't you, Chick? Here goes our automobile! Honk! Honk!" The nurse wheeled him through the tall, gloomy halls, while Myrtella shambled at one side, clinging to his hand, and wiping her eyes. Miss Lady flitted along on the other, telling him about the new football that was going to be on his bed when he woke up.
"No, sir, except that he would write to you." "That will do, Francis. Don't forget to call me at nine tomorrow." "No, sir." The man shambled down the passage in his slippers. Dorian Gray threw his hat and coat upon the yellow marble table, and passed into the library. He walked up and down the room for a quarter of an hour, biting his lip, and thinking.
He looked away at the blue mountains on the horizon; then his gaze dropped to the chimney-top below the pasture. "He's down there now?" "Yes."
