Your wounds were nothing but scratches. They healed up easily enough, and you say, yourself, that they don't trouble you; but you look " "Well?" "As if things had ended for you," Carew blurted out desperately. Slowly, wearily, Weldon lifted his eyes to his friend's face. "Well, they have," he said, with an intonation of dreary finality. "Rot!" Carew observed profanely.
Shall I take you out there?" Madame Elize nodded an assent, and once more they started. It was a long drive. The horses strained up killing grades, sending out on the cold air columns of steam from their dilating nostrils. The driver beat first one hand and then the other upon his knees, and talked amicably if profanely to his horses; but inside the carriage there was utter silence.
It is done in the same way; it is done profanely, not piously; by management, by tactics and clamor."

It says thou drinkest prodigiously, liest confoundedly, and swearest most profanely; that thou art ever more ready to go to the alehouse than to church, and that none of the girls can 'scape thee.
"Pore creature's hungry," is near enough what he said. He opened a sort of safe, and took out all the cooked mutton, which he divided into two unequal portions, then gave the smaller share to his own dog, and the larger to Pup. "Bit evener on your keel after you've stowed that in your hold," he soliloquised profanely.
