Thou art of a queasy nature, and I would fain not haunt thee against thy will."
I tell you, this new country of ours will breed or import a leader and then she'll revolt and make him dictator and then we'll have an empire for neighbour, an empire without any queasy ideas as to majorities and natural rights! And Thomas Jefferson begging your pardon, Mr. Rand is acute enough to see the danger.
Sir John, however, insisted that they should all be ordered back again. "Not that the noise and clamour of women folk makes any odds to me," said the grim old warrior, "I've seen too many towns taken for that, but it might make the lad queasy, and cost him a thumb or so."
A queasy odor of drainage stole up from the waters of the dock, and mixed with the rank, gross sweetness of the bags of beet-root sugar from the freight-steamers; there was a coming and going of carts and trucks on the wharf, and on the ship a rattling of chains and a clucking of pulleys, with sudden outbreaks and then sudden silences of trampling sea-boots.
Physically he was a sick man, and felt his tether. He thought it frightful that he should have to die, while so many idiots lived long. He never forgave men and women for their folly, and the only reason why he did not forgive God was because he was not sure of His existence. The lady addressed in the following "poem" must have read it with queasy emotion, and have unwillingly learned it by heart.

I had a rub down with a towel, and donned a dry suit from the india-rubber bag. But I was not my own man again for the rest of the voyage. I had a queasy sense that I wore my last dry clothes upon my body.
Resulting from this roller-coaster action many of us had queasy stomachs and were not very happy though it was heartening to see that all ranks were treated equally by the elements. As the days passed the seas became less turbulent but other ships in the convoy, merchant and naval alike could still be lost to sight as they wallowed in the troughs.
Why, Sir, what, do you take us for Cheats? Sir Tim. As errant, as any's in Christendom. Sharp. How, Sir? Sir Tim. Why, how now what, fly in my Face? Are your Stomachs so queasy, that Cheat won't down with you? Sham. Why, Sir, we are Gentlemen; and though our ill Fortunes have thrown us on your Bounty, we are not to be term'd Sir Tim. Why, you pair of Hectors whence this Impudence?
Queasy determined to inquire about her payments to certain creditors at Blackheath, and promised to give a decisive answer in the morning.
