"The women are worse for chattering," Luigi retorts, with a forcible imprecation. "Here cometh the Consultore hold thy tongue." "No, no, Luigi; it is only a frate from the Servi; Fra Paolo is a great man, with a robe like the Serenissimo; he might wear a crown if he liked! Ah, to be great like that!"
A pundit in the rear rank answers him. "Yon's Gairmany." "Gairmany ma auntie!" retorts Mucklewame. "There's no chumney-stalks in Gairmany." "Maybe no; but there's wundmulls. See the wundmull there on yon wee knowe!" "There a pit-held!" exclaims another voice. This homely spectacle is received with an affectionate sigh.
Paying no heed to the mocking retorts of the young gallants he added with a servile smile: "I trust you will not forget your old friend Euphobias. Now you can set him up to all the wine he wishes in the taverns of the Forum." The philosopher took the couch at the farther end of the table, and he refused the crown offered him by the slave. "I have not come for flowers; I have come to eat.
This number compared very favorably with that of the second chute where Lanky Smith and Frenchy McAlister waved cold irons and sarcastically asked their iron men if the sun was supposed to provide the heat; whereat the down-trodden heaters provided heat with great generosity in their caustic retorts. "Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me," sang Billy Williams, one of the feeders.
From this room we entered the laboratory, a large apartment, one side of which was given up to chemical research, as was shown by the shelves of reagents that covered the wall, and the flasks, retorts and other apparatus that were arranged on the bench, like ornaments on a drawing-room mantelpiece.
As the Noa-Noa gradually drew out these cries became more definite, and the honor of France and of all Frenchmen was assailed in the most ancient English Billingsgate. Gestures of frightful significance added to the insults, and these not producing retorts in kind from the second in command and the populace, a shower of limes began to fall upon them.
He could not but think of them as being like their brethren of the Middle Ages, cultivating simples, heating retorts and distilling faultless panaceas and prescriptions. He tasted a drop of this liquor and, for a few moments, had relief. But soon the fire, which the dash of wine had lit in his bowels, revived. He threw down his napkin, returned to his study, and paced the floor.
He stops suddenly, quite regardless of the traffic. "I beg your pardon, what was that you said about our milk?" "I said nothing about your milk," retorts the other dog, in a tone of gentle innocence. "I merely said it was a fine day, and asked the price of chalk." "Oh, you asked the price of chalk, did you? Would you like to know?" "Yes, thanks; somehow I thought you would be able to tell me."
For the purpose of inducing a discussion on this subject, I will give you the result of the working of the bench of retorts which I erected three years ago on the Siemens system. As I stated last year, my experience up to that time had not been altogether a happy one, but one of sunshine and cloud alternately.
UTILITARIAN MORALITY. Henceforth there is no morality; without the power to will this and not to will that, there is no possible morality. Hobbes retorts with "utilitarian morality": What man should seek is pleasure, as Aristippus thought; but true pleasure that which is permanent and that which is useful to him.
