Yet there are many pleasant half-hours to be spent in dipping here and there into the volumes of the Rambler or the Idler.
English Literature For Boys And Girls by Marshall, H.E. View in context
In some of his works, especially 'The Rambler,' where, it has been jocosely suggested, he was exercising the polysyllables that he wished to put into his 'Dictionary,' he does employ a stilted Latinized vocabulary and a stilted style, with too much use of abstract phrases for concrete ones, too many long sentences, much inverted order, and over-elaborate balance.
A History of English Literature by Fletcher, Robert Huntington View in context
Behind his counter he was a superior being, calmly conscious of special knowledge and worth; outside he was a weak-kneed, purblind, motorman-cursed rambler, with ill-fitting clothes stained with chemicals and smelling of socotrine aloes and valerianate of ammonia.
The Four Million by Henry, O. View in context
