In northern latitudes, shorter ice cover seasons will lengthen the season for active biological production, but deep lake waters will have increased problems with anoxic conditions in summer.

Had not the orator to lengthen his phrases, turn his periods, and so thoroughly drown his thoughts in a deluge of words, that the people listening to him might not grasp their meaning?
L’orateur ne devait-il pas allonger ses phrases, cadencer ses périodes, noyer si bien ses pensées dans un déluge de mots, que le sens en puisse échapper au peuple qui l’écoutait ?

Fouillade contents himself by looking at his place, and yawning wide enough to dislocate his long jaw, further lengthened by a goatee beard where you would see white hairs if the daylight were really daylight.
