We were glad to be rid of their company, though why they had gone away so suddenly we could not tell. We could not help suspecting, however, that they had done so with the intention of hatching mischief. When I speak of we, I mean our party from the Dore, for we of necessity kept very much together. I have not particularly described the emigrants, for there was nothing very remarkable about them.
Bergson, the new French philosopher, thinks we all had a narrow escape, back in geologic time, of having our eggs spoiled before they were hatched, or, rather, rendered incapable of hatching by too thick a shell. This was owing to the voracity of the early organisms.
Two slices of home-made bread, I calc'late, don't cost more than three-fifths of a cent, I shouldn't think, and cream cheese to smear on them about half a cent; there's a little over a cent; and overhead 'course you wouldn't take overhead into account, and then you go and say I ain't practical and hatching chickens, and all, but let me tell you, Sarah Jane Appleby, I'm a business man and I've been trained, and I tell you as Pilkings has often said to me, it's overhead that makes or breaks a business, that's what it is, just like he says, yes, sir, overhead!
When he reflected on the expiration of the leases, the character of his master, and the surmises which he had heard, he felt convinced that the first part of the factor's speech had a reference to the farms, while the last part of it implied some plot, which was hatching, to forward their schemes.

Although decreased in bulk, she retains an excellent look of health; her round belly and her well-stretched skin tell us from the first that her part is not yet wholly played. The hatching takes place early. November has not arrived before the pockets contain the young: wee things clad in black, with five yellow specks, exactly like their elders.
Let me illustrate with an incident which happened in my own observation. A small boy and girl had a nervous, ever worrying mother. She was assured that her boy was bound to come to physical ill, for he was so courageous, so adventuresome, so daring. To her he was the duck instead of the chicken she thought she was hatching out. One day he climbed to the roof of the barn. His sister followed him.
It was the scene foreordained for the hatching of "Hedda Gabler." But don't imagine that Munich, when it comes to elegance, must stand or fall with the Luitpold. Far from it, indeed. There are other cafés of noble and elevating quality in that delectable town plenty of them, you may be sure.
The regicide wants to atone for his offence by hatching a fable, and making a king out of a manikin." "General, no fable, and no manikin," cried Fouche, with a threatening voice. "The son of the unfortunate king is alive, and " "Ah!" interrupted Bonaparte, triumphantly, "so you confess at last, you reveal your great secret at length!
I have long suspected Sextus, who was a cross-grained, obstinate, quick-witted, proud young man a lot too critical. I am convinced now that he and Norbanus were hatching some kind of plot between them possibly against the sacred person of our emperor a frightful sacrilege! the suggestion of it makes me shudder!
"Ancoats stood still, with his hands on his sides, and looked at those two. His expression was not amiable. 'Something hatching, he said to Tressady. I suppose Ancoats got his sneer from his actor-friends none of us could do it without practice. 'Shall we go and pull the chief out of that? But they didn't go.
