The women were like Junos or Venuses, the men, even when clad in abominable rags, looked like Vulcans, blackened in their forges; they were all of larger proportions than Northern men and women. A Roman beau, with a riding-whip under his arm, was making sheep's eyes at a young local beauty, his courtship accompanied by the whines of the surrounding beggars.
The spectacle lost the appearance of reality, and became as it were an orgy of blood, a dreadful dream, a gigantic kaleidoscope of mad fancy. The measure was surpassed. Amidst roars, howls, whines, here and there on the seats of the spectators were heard the terrified and spasmodic laughter of women, whose strength had given way at last. The people were terrified. Faces grew dark.
'Skipper, he whines, 'I've cotched it! "''Tis the smallpox, sir, says I. 'I seed the spots. "'No such nonsense! says the skipper. ''Tis the measles. That's what he've got. Jagger an' me says so. "'But Jagger ain't here, says I. "'Never you mind about that, says he. 'I knows what Jagger thinks. "When we put into Harbour Grand we knowed it wasn't no measles.
In the end, he clung to the sink as Jim had clung, filled with the horror of going down to the floor. The other's paroxysm had passed, and he sat up, weak and fainting, too weak to rise, his forehead dripping, his lips flecked with a foam made yellow by the mustard in which he had rolled. He rubbed his eyes with his knuckles, and groans that were like whines came from his throat.
"Give you a good scrubbing," said Jinjur. Now, neither boys nor monkeys relish being scrubbed, so Woot shrank away from the energetic girl, trembling fearfully. But Jinjur grabbed him by his paw and dragged him out to the back yard, where, in spite of his whines and struggles, she plunged him into a tub of cold water and began to scrub him with a stiff brush and a cake of yellow soap.
Only a few soft whines followed him as he sped down the road, thrilled with a sense of adventure and romance. If Juliet should happen to wake, she would think he had gone away because he was angry, and never need know that like some misunderstood knight of old, he was merely upon an errand of chivalry for her.
"What is it?" drily inquires the woman from Riazan. "Should you like a taste of water-melon?" "I should, thank you." Thereupon, Konev begins to make his way towards the voice. "Yes, bread, soft wheaten bread such as you " Here the other woman whines in beggar fashion: "And give ME a taste, too." "Oh, yes, I will. But where the devil are you?" "And a taste of melon as well?" "Yes, certainly. Hullo!
Most of the prizes are back on the ship and include the anchors, rudders, keel, and spars. Everything else has long since been given away, and these people have keen memories. The Big Lead has no attraction for the Esquimos and the waiting for a chance to cross it has given them much opportunity to complain of cold feet. It is fierce, listening to their whines and howls.
And they caught the ship, and guided her, and passed her on from hand to hand, and tossed her through the billows, as maidens toss the ball. And when Scylla stooped to seize her, they struck back her ravening heads, and foul Scylla whined, as a whelp whines, at the touch of their gentle hands.
The dog represents friendship, which suffers and sacrifices much, but whines loudly when injured. We have no doubt that of the twelve passions which enter into Fourier's complex analysis of man each has its prototype in some one animal. To rebel at the animal combination which makes up a man would be folly.
