What do you say, Mr. TUGLEY?" he went on, looking at me with a look full of corkscrews and broken glass, while his choleric face showed of a purple hue under the effort of utterance. "Well, Colonel," I replied, in an off-hand way, so as not to irritate him, "I keep my best effects here;" and, so saying, I produced my note-book, and tapped it significantly. "What, for instance, do you say to this?"
He had not a chance; he retired, and swam into the salmon-net of seductive Mrs. Blathenoy's broad bright smile. 'It's a matter of mines, and they're hovering in the attitude of the query, like corkscrews over a bottle, profoundly indifferent to blood-relationships, he said to her. 'Pray, stay and be consoled by me, said the fair young woman. 'You are to point me out all the distinguished people.
For the first time the pilot is allowed to do fancy flying. He is taught how to loop the loop, slide on his wings or tail, go into corkscrews and, more important, to get out of them, and is encouraged to try new stunts. Finally the pilot is considered well enough trained to be sent to the reserve, where he waits his call to the front.
'Well, "TOVES" are something like badgers they're something like lizards and they're something like corkscrews. 'They must be very curious looking creatures. 'They are that, said Humpty Dumpty: 'also they make their nests under sun-dials also they live on cheese. 'And what's the "GYRE" and to "GIMBLE"? 'To "GYRE" is to go round and round like a gyroscope.

There were serpents, who swam with a serpent's motion. Some were serpents in form, but were curled rigidly into living corkscrews, and by sculling with their tails screwed their way through the water with surprising rapidity. Others were barrel- or globe-shaped, with swarming tentacles.
The women prefer to divide their hair in little tufts of the size of a cherry, in wreaths, in twists the ends of which form designs in relief, and in corkscrews, worn the length of the face. A few, more simple and perhaps prettier, let their long hair hang down the back, in the English style, and others wear it cut over the forehead in a fringe, like the French.
The g's are all like corkscrews. And the same phrases keep recurring the Ann Arbor news-agent uses the same expressions as the President of the Girls' College at Euphorbia, Maine." Betton laughed. "Aren't the critics always groaning over the shrinkage of the national vocabulary? Of course we all use the same expressions." "Yes," said Vyse obstinately. "But how about using the same g's?"
The torture of the Key which has no key at all hurts excessively. They endured several minutes of it, and their language necessitated the gag. "Did you give Clewer Corkscrews?" "Yes. Oh, curse your silly souls! Let us alone, you cads." They were corkscrewed, and the torture of the Corkscrew this has nothing to do with corkscrews is keener than the torture of the Key.
The enemy wire was always deep, thick, and securely staked with iron supports, which were either crossed like the letter +X+, or upright, with loops to take the wire and shaped at one end like corkscrews so as to screw into the ground. The wire stood on these supports on a thick web, about four feet high and from thirty to forty feet across.
