'Another illusion! said he to himself; 'it is a reef, a rock which the tide has left bare. He wipes the glasses of his spy-glass, he examines again; he seems to see the waves whiten and whirl for a large space around this rock. 'Can it be an island? If an island, is it inhabited? I will construct a barque, and if God has pity on me I will reach it.
And so does Jules, when he wipes the handle of his paddle on his apron, to give "Mamselle" a chance to skim the kettles and learn how to work! Yes! and so do all the rest who meet us with a courtesy and "Howd'y, young Missus!"
He drives off the Arabs with an oath, wipes his red shining face with his yellow handkerchief, drops puffing on the sand in a shady corner, where cold fowl and hard eggs are awaiting him, and the next minute you see his nose plunged in a foaming beaker of brandy and soda-water. He can say now, and for ever, he has been up the Pyramid. There is nothing sublime in it.
"This is the sponge," says Montesquieu, "which wipes out all the difficulties that can be raised against the laws of Moses." The legislator, then, ought to understand the temperament and genius of the people because he has to frame its laws. As the Germans say, he ought to be an expert on the psychology of races.
"Where is Miss St. Vincent?" asks Grandon, with a very pardonable curiosity. "She has gone out. He will have it so. She does not dream the end is so near." And Denise wipes her old eyes.

One cannot resist the conclusion that the tale is, as already suggested, an imitation of the Marduk-Tiâmat episode.
"What was that for?" "What was it for?" she raged. "It was because they was those skunks of swells that think other people is only made as floor wipes for 'em!
The barmaid falls in love with No. 1 because he wipes a glass better than No. 2, and Mary fell in love with Coppee on account of his sonnet "Le Lys," and she grew indifferent when he wrote poems like "La Nourrice" or "Le petit epicier de Montrouge qui cassait le sucre avec melancolie." And it was at this time when their love story was at wane that I became a competitor.
The house was all in confusion; but still the niece ate and the housekeeper drank and Sancho Panza enjoyed himself; for inheriting property wipes out or softens down in the heir the feeling of grief the dead man might be expected to leave behind him.
Again my blood is frozen, again creeps my skin, and I hear the volley and see him fall to death. I fear. I scream loud that I love the King, but in my ear comes a voice like iron 'Liar!
