"Yes; we used to like taking our unconsciousness to pieces and looking at it." "We had a good time." "Too good. Sometimes it seems as if it would have lasted longer if it had not been so good. We might have our cake now if we hadn't eaten it." "It would be mouldy, though." "I wonder," he said, recurring to the Lefferses; "how we really struck them."
Hades, king of the realms below, was struck with fear; he sprang panic-stricken from his throne and cried aloud in terror lest Neptune, lord of the earthquake, should crack the ground over his head, and lay bare his mouldy mansions to the sight of mortals and immortals mansions so ghastly grim that even the gods shudder to think of them. Such was the uproar as the gods came together in battle.
In the graveyard scene of this tragedy he directs that one of the skulls thrown up by the first clown shall have a tattered and mouldy fool's-cap adhering to it, so that it may attract attention, and be singled out from the others, as "Yorick's skull, the king's jester."
Here in some damp mouldy chambers dwells a hermit, for nearly all the classic mountains of Southern Italy are tenanted by an anchorite, generally an old and ignorant, but pious peasant, of the type of Pietro Murrone, the holy recluse of the Abruzzi, who was finally dragged from his cell to be invested forcibly with the pontifical robes and tiara as Celestine the Fifth.
But of far more use and pleasure to her than these now somewhat mouldy classics were the more modern books of her cousin Charles, that pride and hope of his father's heart, who had died the year before she came to Eriecreek.

Some curbs were piled shoulder high with boxes of ashes, old bedsprings, broken furniture, decayed mattresses, yard rakings, unsightly pots and pans hidden away for decades in mouldy cellars debris of so many kinds that it would be impossible to catalogue it! For two days, also, hundreds of rubbish fires burned, and the taint of the smoke seemed to saturate every part of Poketown.
"What are you going to do?" asked Bunch in wild alarm. "I'm going out and pull a few mouldy tricks till Skinski gets here," I answered heroically. Then I gave the warning to the leader and rang up the curtain. I was greeted by a harsh round of applause as I stepped out and I could feel both knees get up and leave my legs.
E. D. The herb should be gathered when in flower, great care taken in drying it, and kept in a very dry airy place, to prevent its rotting or growing mouldy, which it is very apt to do. The leaves have a penetrating bitter taste, not very strong or very durable, accompanied with an ungrateful flavour, which they are in great measure freed from by keeping.
"Eat your own breakfast, Joe, and not stop to think of what other people have. Da-vid!" "You said 'things," said Joel, severely, "and you only told me mouldy old bread, Polly Pepper! What else?" "O dear, I don't know." "You said " "I mean well, cold potatoes, for one thing. I s'pose most everybody has potatoes. Now eat your breakfast, Joey Pepper. Those are things.
He had performed such trips, through watchful Indians themselves, many a time before. They three, the scout, the sailor and the California Indian, proceeded to get ready, in order to start at nightfall.
