If the bond joining β particles together to form α particles was not more acid-labile than the glycosidic linkages holding glycogen together, then the single α-particle peak would decrease over time but remain monomodal, as is seen when phytoglycogen is acid-hydrolyzed.

I was half starved waiting out in that wind.

Sarcastic comments came to mind, but I said nothing.

Instead, however, of sending out heavy dragoons, who are magnificent fellows in facing an open enemy, but who are about as much suited to the work of this colony as a first-rate frigate would be to the drawing up the mudbuckets used in deepening the Thames, the Cape Corps should have been augmented, or Light Cavalry ordered hither.
