By itself, railroad coffee is too passive; but sheep-dip makes it wake up and get down to business.

I wonder where they get railroad coffee?
We saw birds, but not a kangaroo, not an emu, not an ornithorhynchus, not a lecturer, not a native.

Indeed, the land seemed quite destitute of game.

But I have misused the word native.

In Australia it is applied to Australian-born whites only.
