"The strong muscles surrounding this sac kept the mouth of it always so tightly closed that not an atom could get out to soil the little owner's clean, dainty fur, or cause the slightest smell. In fact, Stripes was altogether one of the cleanest and daintiest and most gentlemanly of all the wild creatures.
The woman who keeps her home tidiest and her children cleanest collars the prize. Isn't it splendid?" I agreed. "How many competitors?" "Forty-three. And there they are working away, sweeping their floors and putting up clean curtains and scrubbing their children's noses till they shine like rubies and making their homes like little Dutch pictures.
"I'm as clean as any man here," said Monty, stirred for the moment to indignation. "Mining ain't the cleanest sort of work, and I don't find no fault with Simpson nor any other man if he happens to carry a little of his claim around with him." "That'll do," said Simpson severely. "We don't allow no such cuss as you to make reflections on gentlemen.
It is a good way to fill up all the cracks of the bedsteads with resin soap. After they are cleaned, move the bed from the wall and fill up every crack in the plastering with calcined plaster and water, or putty. Sometimes bed-bugs are brought in the cleanest houses before the family are aware of it.
This rise and fall of Walden at long intervals serves this use at least; the water standing at this great height for a year or more, though it makes it difficult to walk round it, kills the shrubs and trees which have sprung up about its edge since the last rise pitch pines, birches, alders, aspens, and others and, falling again, leaves an unobstructed shore; for, unlike many ponds and all waters which are subject to a daily tide, its shore is cleanest when the water is lowest.
We drove on quite a little way yet. "Curly," says he at last, "I've made my talk. If any man says I married Bonnie Bell for anything but love the best and cleanest of love he's making the cruelest mistake in the world; and he's a damned liar too. You ask her, Curly." "What's that?" says I. "Me ask her? I didn't come for that. I couldn't look at her. That girl can get my goat any station.
They set out in a lordly two-spanner, which took up half the little Bolkerstrasse where Heine was born, when they stopped across the way from his birthhouse, so that she might first take it all in from the outside before they entered it. It is a simple street, and not the cleanest of the streets in a town where most of them are rather dirty.
The woman felt a repugnance to skinning the mice, yet they are the cleanest creatures, living on grain; she would have skinned a hare or rabbit without hesitation, and have cooked and eaten bacon, though the pig is not a cleanly feeder. It is a country remark that the pig's foot often seen on the table has as many bones as there are letters of the alphabet.
Still he carried a high head in the community: if his sugar-loaf hat was rather the worse for wear, he set it oft with a taller cock's tail; if his shirt was none of the cleanest, he puffed it out the more at the bosom; and if the tail of it peeped out of a hole in his breeches, it at least proved that it really had a tail and was not a mere ruffle.
Men were not fastidious talkers in those times; the cleanest mouthed of them giving themselves plenty of license when they were in spirits.
