Thus, granite is an igneous, intrusive rock; lava is an igneous, extrusive ...

Whereupon Mr. Slum gently raised the youth, carried him forth, and set him down just outside the car to cool off. Whether the young blood has yet made his way out of Bascom's swamp, we have not learned.

It is most essential that one should not cool off too quickly and certainly that one should not become chilled after a bath of this sort.

And he used to go to the Abbey House at that time just as much as your cousin did of late. But about the end of last summer Mrs. Saumarez seemed to cool off with Wellesley and take on with Wallingford—fact! The doctor got his nose put out by the lawyer!
