At present you must note that all the amazing machinery which we have invented has served only to increase the amount of profit-bearing wares; in other words, to increase the amount of profit pouched by individuals for their own advantage, part of which profit they use as capital for the production of more profit, with ever the same waste attached to it; and part as private riches or means for luxurious living, which again is sheer waste is in fact to be looked on as a kind of bonfire on which rich men burn up the product of the labour they have fleeced from the workers beyond what they themselves can use.
"Not now!" I said, pushing her aside. But Maga came to her rescue, and clutched my arm. "See!" she said, and took a Maria Theresa dollar from some hiding-place in her skirt. "I give silver for you. So." The old hag pouched the coin with exactly the same avidity with which she would have taken it from me. "Now she will make magic. Then I see. Then I tell you something. You listen!"
An oval swelling forms in the upper part of the thigh, is soft and prominent when the muscle is relaxed, less prominent when it is passively extended, and disappears when the muscle is thrown into contraction.

His high hat had been rubbed the wrong way in spots. But Lewis hardly noticed the clothes. His eyes were fastened on the man's face. It was bloated, pouched, and mottled with purple spots and veins.

First among the mammals we find the aplacentals, or those which bring forth immature young, which are grouped into two divisions, i.e., the monotremes, or one-vented animals, in which group belong the duck-bills, spiny ant-eaters, etc.; and the marsupials, or pouched animals, in which group belong the kangaroo, opossum, etc.
He had changed into looser, more workmanlike rig was belted, pouched, carried his whip grandly, handled his reins with a royal air of command, as if he were now thoroughly at home in his own dominions, had already asserted his authority which she found presently to be the case and intended the rest of the world to knock under to him.

I thanked him, and after he had pouched the double-louis I slipped politely into his hand, he went away assuring me that I should soon experience an improvement in my health.
This purse is weighty, yet it is but an earnest of thy guerdon." "And this Smith, my noble benefactor," said the leech, as he pouched the gratuity "this Henry of the Wynd, or what ever is his name would not the news that he hath paid the penalty of his action assuage the pain of thy knighthood's wound better than the balm of Mecca with which I have salved it?"
And so at length the weed-stems rustled and parted, and out from among them a man came forth silently and cautiously. He was an old man an old man who had once been fat, but with age had grown lean again, so that now his skin was by odds too large for him. It lay on the back of his neck in folds. Under the chin he was pouched like a pelican and about the jowls was wattled like a turkey gobbler.
