"Most graciously; there was no hint about sending me back to you from the muzzle of one of his cannon; he begged me to assure you he would have your complaint investigated and would do his utmost to meet your demands." "What I might have expected from my noble compatriot!" exclaimed the Dictator with greasy unctuosity; "I was sure of it."
"Oh, stirabout; and then twice a week coorse Russian or American meat, what they call the 'kitchen, and they like it better than good meat, sir, because it feeds the pot more." By this I found he meant that the "coorse meat" gave out more "unctuosity" in the boiling the meat being always served up boiled in a pot with vegetables, like the "bacon and greens" of the "crackers" in the South.
I have a highly educated nose, and can stand the smell of garlic and assafoetida better than brimstone. We want an oleaginous minister, commonly called oily.

At least he might comfort himself with such phrases as 'a dance without the music, and he has not often been lacking in courage.
