Next a cab with a green light rattles by; then a ponderous two-wheeled cart lumbers along, piled high with red carrots as neatly arranged as cigars in a box-the driver asleep on his seat near his swinging lantern-and the big Normandy horses taking the way.
"The Real Latin Quarter"
F. Berkeley Smith
And the man that lumbers square, and remembers that there are folks comin' after us that will need trees, gets what I've just got!"
"King Spruce, A Novel"
Holman Day
English mothers forethoughtful for their girls, have to take choice of how to do battle with a rough-and-tumble Old England, that lumbers bumping along, craving the precious things, which can be had but in semblance under the conditions allowed by laziness to subsist, and so curst of its shifty inconsequence as to worship in the concrete an hypocrisy it abhors in the abstract.
