Amid much noise and many larks they managed to get the foretopsail reefed. A chanty was lustily sung when hoisting the yard up, and when they undertook to reef the main topsail it was quite obvious the over plentiful supply of grog was taking serious effect. Their articulation became thick and incoherent. They ...

We have improved on the ruder methods of the Pharisees, and newspapers and collectors will blow lustily and loud for us, and defend the noise on the ground that a good example stimulates others.

On the contrary, the natives warmed and rubbed him, then took him down to the shore and watched him swim back to ...

They hammered each other lustily, cheered to the echo by uproarious partisans, from nine in the morning until six in the afternoon.

A speckled toad wriggled in her fingers, lustily enough, but it was a toad that had seen tragedy. The keen edge of a scythe must have caught it, for one side of its head was shorn away; the eye had just been missed, but the inside of the poor little animal's mouth and throat lay exposed, pulsating ...

For by this revelation of the infelicity of her state, his whole relation to, and duty towards her changed and took on a greater freedom.
