Here, lend me the corkscrew."
The famous spiral of the geometers is the general plan followed by the Mollusc rolling its stone sheath. Where do these glairy creatures pick up this science? We are told that the Mollusc derives from the Worm. One day, the Worm, rendered frisky by the sun, emancipated itself, brandished its tail and twisted it into a corkscrew for sheer glee.
The whole sentence was delivered without breath or pause, as if it was one long word. The speaker might have been the old maid as portrayed in the illustrated weekly. Nothing was lacking corkscrew curls, prunella boots, cameo brooch and chain, a gown of the antiquated Redingote type, trimmed with many small ruffles and punctuated, irrelevantly, with immovable buttons. "I am Anna Moore."
'I wonder will they do anything for a fellow? 'I heard my uncle, in Parliament Street, say, that when a chap has got any infested interest in a thing, they can't turn him out, said Corkscrew; 'and my uncle is a parliamentary agent. 'Can't they though! said Scatterall. 'It seems to me that they mean to, at any rate; there wasn't a word about pensions or anything of that sort, was there, Mr.
Not one invention, but fifty from a corkscrew to a machine gun. It's better than Sypher's Cure, isn't it?" She glanced swiftly at him to see whether the last words were spoken in bitterness. They were not. His face beamed as it had beamed in the days when he had rhapsodied over the vision of an earth, one scab, to be healed by Sypher's Cure. "Say you think it's better," he urged. "Yes.
Butler, in a slightly out-of-breath tone. "My cough is no better," snapped Miss Peters. "Although it's summer, the wind is due east; east wind always catches me in the throat." Miss Peters was very small and slim. She wore little iron-gray, corkscrew curls, and had bright, beady black eyes. Miss Peters was Mrs. Butler's sister. She was a snappy little body, but rather afraid of Mrs.
Then the corkscrew in the back of his head dug into him again with a deeper thrust, and she seemed suddenly to recede to a great distance and be divided from him by a fog of pain. The fog lifted after a minute, but it left him queerly remote from her, from the cool room with its scents and shadows, and from all the objects which, a moment before, had so sharply impinged upon his senses.

"You guys poked along," he said. "I always thought the Pequod was fast. We got in three hours ago." "Who else is in?" "Corkscrew and some of his gang are here at the Times, now.
When there was not storm there was bitter black frost. The old house had attics in the gables, seldom visited. You went up from the inhabited portions by a corkscrew staircase, steep as a ladder. The servants did not like the attics. There were creaking footsteps on the floors at night, and sometimes the slamming of a door or the stealthy opening of a window.
Squeers will flog him into a happier state of mind; and with this view, she has also stopped his halfpenny a week pocket-money, and given a double-bladed knife with a corkscrew in it to the Missionaries, which she had bought on purpose for him."
