"They swore Stalky ought to have been born a Pathan, and 'member we nearly had a row in the fort when Rutton Singh said Stalky was a Pathan? Gad, how furious the old chap was with my Jemadar! But Stalky just waggled his finger and they shut up. "Old Rutton Singh's sword was half out, though, and he swore he'd cremate every Khye-Kheen and Malo't he killed.
"Now you pull up just outside the gate, and wait there till I bring out some blankets; then you've got to strip to the skin and start the world all over again," said Cavanagh. "I'll build a fire here, and we'll cremate your past. How about it?" "I'm willing," responded Wetherford. "You can burn everything that belongs to me but my wife and my girl."
It has not been suggested that any one shall cremate you while alive." "Because my father and mother were buried. And all the Puddlebranes were always buried. There are they, all to be seen in Puddlebrane Church, and I should like to appear among them." "I suppose it's only their names that appear, and not their bodies, Mr Puddlebrane.
The County Council undertook to cremate all dragons delivered at their offices between the hours of ten and two, and whole wagonloads and cartloads and truckloads of dead dragons could be seen any day of the week standing in a long line in the street where the County Council had their offices.
"Tom is so anxious to get rid of his sister-in-law that he reminds me of the man whose mother-in-law died," said Miss Russell. "He was too far from home to return to the usual funeral, and they telegraphed him the sad news and asked if they should embalm, cremate, or bury the remains. He wired back: 'Embalm, cremate, and bury'"
If I've only got somebody just to speak to sometimes, that will be quite enough for me. I suppose old Crasweller will be the first?" "I suppose so." "It will be a gruesome time when I have to go to bed early, so as not to see the smoke come out of his chimney." "I tell you there will be nothing of the kind. I don't suppose you will even know when they're going to cremate him."
It is also made possible by the fact that Hindus do not use coffins. It is the custom of most of the higher-caste Hindus to cremate their dead; while many of the lowest castes and outcasts resort to burial. Cremation would doubtless be the more sanitary method, if the fire were not so inadequate in many instances. The Hindu burning-ground is a place of ghastly and disgusting interest.
Or, without slaying her here, let us cremate her with him that had lusted after her, for it behoveth us to accomplish in every way what is agreeable to that deceased son of Suta. And then they addressed Virata, saying, 'It is for her sake that Kichaka hath lost his life. Let him, therefore, be cremated along with her.
I don't care a "ram", as Nicky would say, whether you bury me or cremate me; only you might give my Theocritus to old Parsons, and my revolver to Nicky if it doesn't burst. He'd like it. P.S. If Parsons would rather have my Æschylus he can, or both. TUDOR HOUSE. CHELTENHAM, Sunday. DARLING MUMMY: It's your turn for a letter.
I went back to the other room with Lord Marylebone; and as I took my place at the table, I heard that the assembled cricketers were all discussing the Fixed Period. "I'd be shot," said Mr Puddlebrane, "if they should deposit me, and bleed me to death, and cremate me like a big pig." Then he perceived that I had entered the saloon, and there came a sudden silence across the table.
