What the rain doesn't wash goes dirty; an' as for that old cook they've got, if she isn't drunk all the time, her mind's givin' way, an' I expect she'll end by pizenin' all of them. The vittles she gave me to eat, bein' nearly tired to death when I got thar, was sich that they give me pains that I hain't got over yit. And what would have happened if I'd eat a full meal, nobody knows."
"Somethin' he's et," Bowers vouchsafed. "The doctor says it's pantomime pizenin', or some sech name anyhow, he's plenty sick." "Where is he?"

He introduced a timprance lecturer that towld the boys the poteen was pizenin' thim, an' 'twas wather they must dhrink. Ha! Ha! Will I tell ye what owld Sheela Maguire said to the timprance man?" I admitted a delirious delight in discursive digression. "The timprance man had a wondherful glass that made iverything a thousand million times as big. What's this he called it?
"Yes, you ken stay right here an' we'll look after you, me an' a few o' the boys. You're a prisoner, Jim Thorpe, and if you attempt to escape, we'll blow you to bits. We'll look after you, sure. You shan't escape, don't you mistake. It 'ud do me good to hand you a little lead pizenin'." "I've no doubt," was all the answer Jim vouchsafed.
Why don't you behave desunt like other folks? Go to work and earn a honist livin and not stay round here in this lazy, shiftless way, pizenin the moral atmosphere with your pestifrous ideas! You wimin folks go back to your lawful husbands if you've got any, and take orf them skanderlous gownds and trowsis, and dress respectful like other wimin.
"Sure, we're not that particular," she observed, with her jolly laugh. "Don't be goin' out in the cold, Mr. Brian."

"'We will not, says I. 'I ain't goin' to do no Simon Legree stunts. It ain't man's size.
"Oh, Ben," she shrieked, "you done tuk all my win'!" "Dah, now," he said, letting her down; "dat's what you gits fu' talkin' sassy to me!" "Nev' min'; I'm goin' to fix you fu' dat fus' time I gits de chanst see ef I don't." "Whut you gwine do? Gwine to pizen me?" "Worse'n dat!" "Wuss'n dat?

And you thought of any number of queer old Doges, rainin' and pizenin' and actin', some on 'em, and marryin' the Adriatic; a poor match in my opinion and one that you couldn't expect to turn out well, the bride bein' slippery and inconstant and the bridegroom mean as pusley, cruel and cunning, besides bein' jest devoted to the Council of Ten.
