I have seen men brought in from the Stockade in a dying condition, begrimed from head to foot with their own excrements, and so black from smoke and filth that they, resembled negros rather than white men.

Axel thought if that was so, 'twould be easy to find a buyer; but Aronsen laughed scornfully at the idea there was nobody there in the wilds had money to buy him out. "Not here in the wilds, maybe, but elsewhere." "Here's naught but filth and poverty," said Aron bitterly. "Why, that's as it may be," said Axel in some offence.

They used formerly to wear tusks of the wild hog in these holes whenever they went out to encounter strangers or their enemies in war. The gloomy savagery, filth, and poverty of the people in this place made me feel quite melancholy, and I was glad to return to the canoe.

And there is a deeper and solemner word still in the context. Thank God, the prodigal son in his rags amongst the swine, and lying by the swine-troughs in his filth and his husks, and his fever, is a son! No doubt about that!
It is an easy thing to forget. You mustn't. Out there life is chiefly squalor, filth, and stench. The boy gets disgusted and lonesome and homesick, even though he may write to the contrary. Write to him at least three times a week. Always write cheerfully, even although something may have happened that has plunged you into the depths of despair.
Are you a brute beast to go coursing through the woods with that female? She has led you far astray, has she not? She has besmeared you with filth, and now you are hairy like a goat.... Pluck a branch from the trees wherewith to smite her on the back. Again Albine whispered in an ardent, prayerful voice: 'Do you love me? Do you love me?
"Take you two of May Queen's puppies to bring up in your village in such a manner that they do not eat filth, nor lose their hair, nor catch fever from lying in the sun, but become wise hounds." "Like Ray-yal not like Bigglebai?" "Certainly, like Ray-yal not in the least like Bigglebai. That shall be the interest on the loan.
