"I swear I thought the job was as clean and as smooth as a peeled onion. Did I leave a string hanging out anywhere?" Woods laid upon the table a small gold pencil intended for a watch-charm. "It's the one I gave you the last Christmas we were in Saint Jo. I've got your shaving mug yet. I found this under a corner of the rug in Norcross's room. I warn you to be careful what you say.
"Shaving or fighting, or something like that." "Was it fighting, Dick?" "Yes." "Who were you fighting with?" "I wasn't fighting. I was assaulting and battering." "Why, Dick!" "If it's any satisfaction to you to know it I made one grand job of it." "Why should it be any satisfaction to me?" "I don't know." "Why, Dick!" Nancy said again. "I didn't know you had any of that kind of brutality in you."

Hair has been of aid to Buffalo Bill, Little Lord Fauntleroy, Samson, The Lady Godiva, Jo-Jo, the Dog-Faced Boy, poets, pianists, some artists and most mattress makers, but a drawback and a sorrow to Absalom, polar bears in captivity and the male sex in general.

They too have been permitted to grow too long, and thus he is thrown into the position you now see him. This mule belongs to a class that is raised to a considerable extent, and prized very highly in Pennsylvania.
