Set the skillet on hot coals, and allow the oysters to simmer till they are heated all through, but not till they boil. Then take out the oysters and put them into a stone jar, leaving the liquor in the skillet. Add to it a pint of clear strong vinegar, a large tea-spoonful of blades of mace, three dozen whole cloves, and three dozen whole pepper corns.
The crowd increased more and more, and now they indulged in hoarse cries, piercing whistles, and all kinds of horse play. "Let a fellow see her; it's free gratis." "Don't push so; I've paid for my place!" "Make her stand up on something, that all may have a look." "My corns are being ground: it was not worth coming." "Show her properly or return the money." "That's fair, ain't it?"
All our ills appear to be caused by minute insects that get inside of us, demoralize our system of government and inaugurate a reign of anarchy. Everything, from mugwumpery to the meddler's itch, from corns to crime, is now traced to the pernicious activity of some microbian. Even our currency system is blasted by goldbugs, and Prohibition milk- sickness is being treated with vermifuge.
"Oh, the treachery of Don Nicasio! My God! My God! Yes, your honor. Two days before no one can think of everything, no one can foresee everything he came to the shop and said to me, 'Neighbor, lend me a razor; I have a corn that is troubling me. He was so matter-of-fact about it that I did not hesitate for an instant. I even warned him, 'Be careful! you can't joke with corns!
The tumult at the Town Hall was remarkable; the people swarmed there like locusts; the ordeal one had to undergo for a "permit" involved cruelty to corns. Matters improved when the excited multitude were at length persuaded that one representative of each family sufficed to conduct negotiations in respect of their right to vegetate.
In order to relieve the pressure over the inflamed part, the animal stands with the foot slightly flexed at the fetlock. The lameness is not characteristic. It is only by a local examination of the foot, made by pressing on the sole or cutting away the horn, that we are able to form a positive diagnosis. We describe the diseased changes by using the terms dry, moist and suppurative corns.
His philosophy amused his clients, to whom he would repeat, by way of thanks, the finest aphorisms of his science. According to him, suppers produced gout in the rich: he boasted that he had nimble feet, because his shoemaker gave him boots that do not pinch his corns. There were aching heads beneath diadems, but his never ached, because it was touched neither by luxury nor any other chaplet.
Here we are, ma'am, fifteen miles to Lowell out with you look out for the cars on the back track. Good by pleasant trip!" Ding dong, went the bell again. "Hullo! here's her bundle! Catch, there heads! All right get on, driver!" And having tossed a bundle after the old woman, he resumed his seat. "Confound it!" roared a fat man in a blue spencer. "You're treading on my corns."
But in Spain a barber also applies leeches, draws teeth, and extracts corns, so that it was very annoying for a man who was suffering from tooth-ache, and wanted his tooth taken out or stopped, to have to wait until the barber had finished playing on the guitar. He was also a soothsayer, and could repeat the whole of the prophetical Buena Dicha by heart.
She felt a similar disagreeable thrill when she thought of Margaret singing in public to earn a living. Prejudices are moral corns; anything that touches one makes it ache more or less, but the pain is always of the same kind. You cannot get a pleasurable sensation out of a corn.
