contingent worker

Former Texas governor Ann Richards was a big fan of the Texas Rangers, a contingent of which was her protective detail.

Counter-protestors marched to confront the pro-police contingent, separated by barricades and uniformed officers.

She is incapable of responding to kindness and enquiry, even very gentle flirting on the part of a co-worker.

A small contingent of the members hurried off to applaud the successful comic opera of the hour.

Each seems satisfied with the way his own branch is getting on: Winter is the quicker worker.

Not more than one adult worker in ten—so at least it might with confidence be estimated—is employed on necessary things.

I met him striding toward the building that seemed to be a clearing house for the official contingent.

As he was a great worker all his life, “Busy,” or “ Benjamin Ceased” would significantly express his death-date.
