Sample Sentences

With a violent effort of packing and scheming (e.g., a box of books with cross-bars in it, and shelves which were to be put in, and make the box a press, &c. &c.), in all which Larkin and Maggie Welsh assisted diligently, I got down to Marina on one of the first days of May [Sat., 14 May]. Dreary and tragic was our actual situation there, but we strove to be of hope, and were all fixedly intent to do our best. The house was new, clean, light enough, and well aired; otherwise paltry in the extreme—small, misbuilt every inch of it; a despicable, cockney, scamped edifice; a rickety bandbox rather than a house. But that did not much concern us, tenants only for a month or two—nay, withal there were traces that the usual inhabitants (two old ladies, probably very poor) had been cleanly, neat persons, sensible, as we, of the sins and miseries of their scamped, despicable dwelling-place, poor, good souls! / In a small back closet, window opposite to door, and both always open, I had soon got a table wedged to fixity, had set on end my book-box, changing it to a book-press, and adjusted myself to work, quite tolerably all along, though feeling as if tied up in a rack. One good bedroom there was in the top story, looking out over the sea—this was naturally hers; mine below and to rearward was the next best, and, by cunning adjustments curtains improvised out of rugs and ropes were made to exclude the light in some degree and admit freely the air currents. We made with our knives about a dozen little wedges as the first thing to keep the doors open or ajar at our will, their own being various in that respect! To put up with the house was a right easy matter, almost a solacement, in sight of the deep misery of its poor mistress, spite of all her striving. [1864, Thomas Carlyle, [Letter to Joseph Neuberg] [Letter 283], volume 40, Carlyle Letters Online:]

Plymouth Valiant, Dodge Dart, 1976. Vehicles equipped with police packages. Possibility that power steering system components, including oil cooler, front pump mounting bracket, pump reservoir and cooler and return hoses, were misbuilt due to build specification computer error. Misbuilt configuration creates potential for return hose failure and loss of power assist, resulting from both heat deterioration and abrasion. (Correct by reworking power steering system and replacing all affected components.) [1976, Domestic and Foreign Vehicle Manufacturers, “I. Domestic § Chrysler Corporation”, in United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, editor, Safety Related Recall Campaigns for Motor Vehicles and Motor Vehicle Equipment, Including Tires, United States Department of Transportation, page 8:]
