1 The reach was narrow, straight, with high sides like a railway cutting.
2 After all, I also was a part of the great cause of these high and just proceedings.
3 I had seen, from the way the tops of the bushes rustled and flew, that almost all the shots had gone too high.
4 I know the wife of a very high personage in the Administration, and also a man who has lots of influence with, &c.
5 I saw a high starched collar, white cuffs, a light alpaca jacket, snowy trousers, a clear necktie, and varnished boots.
