Hereafter I rove no more a-questing anything; instead, I potter after hearthside comforts, and play the physician with myself, and strive painstakingly to make old bones. And no man's notion anywhere seems worth a cup of mulled wine; and for the sake of no notion would I endanger the routine which so hideously bores me.
M. de Saint-Mars went to make his rounds, and left D'Artagnan alone with the pretended Spaniards. "Oh!" exclaimed the musketeer, "here is a life and a society that suits me very little. I command this man, and he bores me, mordioux! Come, let us have a shot or two at the rabbits; the walk will be beautiful, and not fatiguing.
Well, why not? It is the trifles of life that are its bores, after all.
At the beginning of Holy Week Laura returned to the hotel, at lunch-time. "And your husband?" Caesar asked her. "He didn't want to come. Rome bores him. He is giving all his attention to taking care of the heart-disease he says he has." "Is it serious?" "I think not.

But then, you know, when there is a liaison like mine with Charlie, one can't be too careful to cultivate the wives. Les convenances, you know, are the all-important things.
For their part they seized the bar of olive wood, that was sharpened at the point, and thrust it into his eye, while I from my place aloft turned it about, as when a man bores a ship's beam with a drill while his fellows below spin it with a strap, which they hold at either end, and the auger runs round continually.
And then everything bores me lately Cleone, myself, even Whist, so I'll try my hand at another game with Wilfred Chichester as an opponent."
