I've had a present given to me; well, what of that? You can look at it for yourself. I can't tell you who give it me, 'cos I've promised I wouldn't; but you'll know some day, and then you'll larff. It ain't nothing to fret your gizzard about; so there. I'm old enough to look after myself, and if I ain't I never shall be; so there." This did not satisfy Mr. Sparkes.
"It's unchristian, Nancy," said Auntie Nan, "but it's human; for although he forgives the woman, he can hardly be expected to forgive the man, and he can't punish one without punishing both." "Much good it'll do to punish either, say I. What for should he put up his fins now the hook's in his gizzard? But that's the way with the men still.
"And pray, my Libyan friend, how will you prevent me?" "My putting a knife into your gizzard, as I did through that of the renegade Rufus an hour or two ago! Ah! I see you have heard the story." Amram considered, then replied: "And what if I also have a knife?" "In that case," said Nehushta, "draw it, and we will see which is the better, man or woman. Merchant, your weapon is your pen.
Soon gathering around it, each was helped to a share: one to a wing with liver or gizzard, another to a thigh-joint with a bit of the breast, a third to the stripped breast-bone, or the back one, with its thin covering of flesh, a fourth to a variety of stray giblets. There was still a savoury sauce remaining in the pan, due to the herb condiments which Saloo had collected.
It feeds on the delicate sea-weeds which grow among the stones in muddy and shallow water; and I found in its stomach several small pebbles, as in the gizzard of a bird. This slug, when disturbed, emits a very fine purplish-red fluid, which stains the water for the space of a foot around.
Down with you, and close the bargain with that chap and tip him the wink that, though we're mugs enough to give him six thousand dollars for the loan of his old shark-boat, we're men enough to put a pistol bullet in his gizzard if he tries any games with us. Down you go." Blood went.
"Out shooting geese," said he. "Don't seem to fret his gizzard about his wife; but they say she's struck with death." All the while I was cooking my supper I was thinking of this woman, "struck with death," and her husband out shooting geese, while she struggled with our last great antagonist alone. One of the women came over from the other camp with her husband, and I spoke to her about it.
Did you ever study a dead nigger's heel, as we do a horse's frog. All the feeling of a horse is there. Wound that, and he never recovers; he is foundered his heart is broke. Now, if a nigger has a soul, and it ain't in his gizzard, and can't in natur be in his skull, why, it stands to reason it must be in his heel." "Oh, Mr Slick," said Cutler, "I never thought I should have heard this from you.
This simply tries the soundness of our faculties: that tempts them in erratic directions. It is the difference between active and passive excellence. As there is hardly any situation, however, so interesting to reflect upon as that of a man without a penny in his pocket, and a gizzard full of pride, we will leave Mr.
I keep my word, good fellows. Kneel down, and I'll dub each a knight. How now! what are you blundering and whispering for? 'So please you, Sir, said Kitson, 'this is no matter to win one's spurs for mere standing still without a blow. 'I would all had that same gift of standing still, returned Henry. 'What is it sticks in your gizzard, friend? If 'tis the fees, I take them on myself.
