Then quick as a flash he seized a bit of round metal not unlike a beet in shape and, pressing it inside the soft glass, made the depression for the nose.All this was done in much less time than it takes to tell it.A small boy, or carrier, now bobbed up at just the proper moment and taking the pitcher on his wooden fork carried it off to a small furnace where it was reheated at the opening or "glory hole."...
All this passed in much less time than has been necessary to describe it.Not until Fred Munson saw that the Apaches were repulsed did he reflect upon the startling fact that there was no one among all the settlers that was placed in as perilous a position as he....
He stretched his neck up out of his collar-band a little, turned his head about as though something were choking him, then dropped his chin upon his breast, shrugged up his shoulders, and half hid his face from the eyes whose looks he fain would shun.All this really took place in much less time than it takes for me to tell it.Mr. Bright was hearing a class in geometry when the boy entered, and a handsome, intelligent girl was in the midst of a demonstration when the door opened and the interruption caused thereby took place....
Do not let this delay discourage you from lending me more.If I have them in summer I shall keep them much less time than in winter.I do not send my print with it as you ordered me, because I find it is too large to lie within the volume; and doubling a mezzotinto, you know, spoils it....
Gladly availing himself of this opportunity, the coachman leaped from his box; but Ali had promptly seized the nostrils of the second horse, and held them in his iron grasp, till the beast, snorting with pain, sunk beside his companion.All this was achieved in much less time than is occupied in the recital....
As Cary's journal puts it, here the party "first indulged in hilarity."The hardest part of the work was over and had been done in much less time than had been expected.According to all accounts the falls should be found only thirty miles beyond the head of the lake, which is forty miles long and good rowing water, and about three weeks time yet remained before they were due at Rigolette....

True, some minds have better natural equipment and some have better previous training than others.But the average mind could learn a lesson well in much less time than is spent upon learning it poorly.Few people hold their attention strictly to the task at hand if something more interesting beckons, or if they feel tired, or "blue."...
Large plants may be trained against a wall or along the rafters in a warm house; and when of the required size, the branches may be spurred back, and Epiphyllums, slender Cereuses, and similar plants, grafted upon them.In this way very fine masses of the latter may be obtained in much less time than if they were grown from small plants....
The whole of this conversation, which was repeated to me later on, took much less time than it does now to write it down.Coquelin had been told, and he now came on to the stage to finish the act....

Thad waited only long enough to deposit his precious gun in the bottom, and then crawling over the side himself, he seized upon the paddle, and dipped deeply.No doubt he made the shore in much less time than it took Maurice; for there was need that he should.The noise continued, from which Thad drew new hope; at least his beloved chum could not have been seriously injured, for just then he could almost positively declare that he heard him laugh again....
It all happened in much less time than it takes to tell it, of course, and a moment afterwards one could not have told how it had occurred.The Circus Boy threw both hands under Dimples' outstretched arms with the intention of jerking her down to her feet, then springing from the curbing with her before both should topple over....
I at once entered the woods, and began to climb the steep side of the mountain in a diagonal direction, taking the bearing of a tree every dozen rods.The ascent was by no means difficult or unpleasant, and occupied much less time than it would have taken to follow the path.Even country people, I have observed, magnify the difficulty of travelling in the forest, and especially among mountains....
They were left in their gore, unequivocally butchered co rpses.All this passed in much less time than has been required to relate it, and all this did Mabel witness.She had stood riveted to the spot, gazing on the whole horrible scene, as if enchained by some charm, nor did the idea of self or of her own danger once obtrude itself on her thoughts....
