He should resort to the river. Ain't that so, Bill?" "Perfectly correct, Colonel. I kin take an all-over, myself, in fifteen, whenever it's healthy." "But a dollar and a half for a twenty minutes' bath in a public tub is rather steep, seems to me," said I, as I removed my coat and opened my bag. "Not so, suh, if I may question your judgment," the Colonel reproved.
Left to himself, he would surely have preferred an evening at the Blood Tub to a business interview with Mr Enoch Peake at the Dragon. But naturally he had to scorn the Blood Tub with a scorn equal to the massive and silent scorn of Big James. And on the whole he considered that he was behaving as a man with another man rather well.
Diogenes might scorn superfluous luxuries, but if he ever rolled and tumbled his tub about as Rabelais says he did, it is clear that the victory of spirit over body formed no part of his theory of things. Such an idea would have been incomprehensible to a Greek in Plato's time. Their consciences were not over active. They were not burdened with a sense of sinfulness.
Hiero, thinking it an outrage that he had been tricked, and yet not knowing how to detect the theft, requested Archimedes to consider the matter. The latter, while the case was still on his mind, happened to go to the bath, and on getting into a tub observed that the more his body sank into it the more water ran out over the tub.
She poured the hot water into the tub, and soaped the things a last time with her hands, leaning over them in a mass of steam, which deposited small beads of grey vapor in her light hair. "Here put some soda in, I've got some by me," said the concierge, obligingly. And she emptied into Gervaise's tub what remained of a bag of soda which she had brought with her.
Take up cold water in the hollow of the hands from a running faucet or a bucket filled with water, rub arms and legs briskly for a few minutes. Upper Body Bath Stand in an empty tub, take water in the hollow of the hands from a running faucet or a bucket filled with cold water and rub briskly the upper half of the body from neck to hips, for two or three minutes.
It had not at first been easy for the gentle mother, whose hands were red from decades of tub and dishpan, and the father whose fingers had gripped the plow, to adapt themselves to the idle and effortless régime of this new order. It had for a long while been impossible for them to escape the fear of a crash in which all this iridescent and artificial seeming must collapse.
Catch hold, you fellows, and see how fast you can do it. Might as well make a beginning. You'll have plenty of experience before the summer's ended. I'll take her awhile, Filippo." The other boys, Percy included, were soon hard at work, each on his own tub. At first they made a slow, awkward business of it. Impatient exclamations rose as the sharp hooks were stuck into clumsy fingers.
"I wish I had," said the girl, "but I thought everybody would, and then you know we had a sort of a misunderstanding; and I was going to, and then my father's troubles got so bad that he couldn't hide them from me, and we used to talk them over all night sometimes, and I couldn't think about anybody else's troubles. Is he up there all alone?" "There's the last hook. And now I'll draw a tub."
"Unfortunately, I've no longer any right to dip my head into the tub. Even if I chanced to draw a prize I should only have to put it back again." The quiet irrevocableness of his answer shook her optimism. "I don't understand," she said hesitatingly. "No?" his tones hardened suddenly. "It's just as well you shouldn't, perhaps." The abrupt alteration in his manner took her by surprise.
