sloppypar

Synopsis:

\begin{sloppypar}
  ... paragraphs ...
\end{sloppypar}

Typeset the paragraphs with \sloppy in effect (see \fussy & \sloppy). Use this to locally adjust line breaking, to avoid ‘Overfull box’ or ‘Underfull box’ errors.

The example is simple.

\begin{sloppypar}

  book after breakfast, resolving to remain in the same place and the
  same employment till the clock struck one; and from habitude very
  little incommoded by the remarks and ejaculations of Mrs.\ Allen,
  whose vacancy of mind and incapacity for thinking were such, that
  as she never talked a great deal, so she could never be entirely
  silent; and, therefore, while she sat at her work, if she lost her
  needle or broke her thread, if she heard a carriage in the street,
  or saw a speck upon her gown, she must observe it aloud, whether
  there were anyone at leisure to answer her or not.
