The trip was little short of wonderful for its bumpiness.
"Cuba, Old and New"
Albert Gardner Robinson
The harsh rattle of granite setts, the soft bumpiness of macadam, the smooth rumble of wood-pavement, the jarring and swerving of crossed tram-lines; all were easily recognizable and together sketched the general features of the neighbourhood through which I was passing.
"The Mystery of 31 New Inn"
R. Austin Freeman
