Examples

  • The whalerman was gapingly, tearfully tipsy: the courtier walked on air; the king himself was even sportive.

    In the South Seas Robert Louis Stevenson 1872

  • Mr. Corpse was now divested of his more awful attitude, the lawless bulk of him again encased in striped pyjamas; a guardsman brought up the rear with his rifle at the trail: and his majesty was further accompanied by a Rarotongan whalerman and the playful courtier with the turban of frizzed hair.
