slow-witted

One of the honor guard approached with slow, measured steps and presented the flag to a uniformed captain.

“The sepoys have come in from Meerut,” he announced with the slow tick of the earliest form of apparatus.

It is not surprising after this to learn that some children are slow in seizing the representative character of acting.

And he was not slow to notice that his visitor looked fatter each time he saw him.

He was a pretty bright sort, that same Goodell, quick-witted, nimble of tongue above the average Englishman.

This is a slow process, but earnest hearts and united minds will render it a sure one.
