"I am quite sure, sir, that my pupils do not wish to take any two little somethings as a gift from you." "No, no, sir, not what you call gifts; but just a couple of little trifles as I asked them to pick out." "Oh, no, no," cried the Doctor. "It is not necessary, my man, and we have no room for such things in my establishment."
"It is somethings I don't think about," he said. He was a wizened little man with faience-blue eyes, and sat habitually hunched up with his hands folded across his shins. "Nam fuit ante Helenam" as Darwin quotes. Toward all the masculine residents of Fillmore Street, save one, the barber's attitude was one of unconcealed scorn for an inability to recognize female perfidy.

"Something always gets crowded out." This, too, her popularity among the first, might have to be, perhaps, one of the somethings. Now and then she felt it so, perceived the shade of difference toward her in the tone and manner of these young girls. I cannot say that it did not hurt her a little.
And afterwards, beguiled further up flights and flights of black stairs into someone's filthy little kitchen, I was made to look down, through a mysterious window, into the closed church of the Cencis. Looking down, always a curious impression, into a dark, musty place and onto vague somethings which are, they tell me, the tombs of the Cencis.
"If she had but left me my cheese," says the Svenska maid, "I might have had something to eat between New York and Illinois. I just had my ticket in the cars, and, oh, it was more than two days, and I had such feelings in my stomach! I was all alone and speak not a word of English, and everybody around me eat, but I would not try to ask for somethings.
Madam, wherever there are secrets and mysteries in a family, take my word for it, there is somethings wrong." "True, my dear sir; but Amelia has no idea of mysteries or art. I only meant that young girls, you know, will be ashamed on these occasions, and we must make allowances. So do not speak to her, I conjure you." "Well, madam, you are her mother, and must know best.

But it's a secret, as yet from everybody except you and Violet; and even you we wouldn't tell had you not earned the right to know by guessing and making me semi-credulous enough to start something several somethings, in fact." "G'wan!" George coaxed. "Feed it to me: I'll eat it right outa your hand. Whatcha been doin' with yourself all night, P.S.?" "I've been Day of Days-ing myself, George."
Each battalion had a shower bath, and there was no excuse for any man to be dirty. Even at that it was not very long before those little "somethings" which are no respecters of persons, be he private, non-com, commissioned officer or general, found their way into the camp. I'll never forget the first gray-back I found on me.
