The carcasses of animals sacrificed are not burned and sown in the wind as in times of old, but the Fantees more wisely, eat them, greater attention being paid to the flavour of the viands and the fragrance of the strong liquor than to the manes of the dead. I dinna think that in a' nature there's a mair curiouser cratur than a monkey.
As curious a look as I ever see; and if I hain't seen curious looks in my time, then I will say nobody has. Yes, indeed! I have seen curious looks in my journey through life, curious as a dog, and curiouser.
"Perhaps Captain Wegg left some money," suggested Patsy. "No; when Joe an' Hucks ransacked the house arter the Cap'n's death they couldn't find a dollar. Cur'ous. Plenty o' money till he died, 'n' then not a red cent. Curiouser yet. Ol' Will Thompson's savin's dis'peared, too, an' never could be located to this day." "Were they robbed, do you suppose?" asked Louise. "Nat'rally. But who done it?
We think we should share with our readers a recent one which, when we read it in the detail, impossible to be repeated here, made us smile. Every time we re-perused it we thought it, as Alice in Wonderland said, "curiouser and curiouser." Our readers are not strangers to the name and fame of the leading editor of the chief paper in Georgia.
"Oh, certainly! It is quite as interesting to you as to me. Liking has nothing whatever to do with the mysterious condition; he may quite probably choose the one of us he cares for least, as his heir. `Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice said; isn't it?" "Humph! There may be a chance for me, after all," said Jack lightly. Victor knitted his brows, and tugged once more at his moustache.
And oh, what curious things we did see in this Hall of Wonders curious as a dog, and curiouser. The New South Wales exhibit in the west gallery is awful big, and divided into five courts, and all full of Beauty and Use. These Australians are pert and kinder sassy; they look on our country as old, and wore out some as we look at our Ma Country.
And the little gardens round the housen looked curious as a dog, and curiouser, with trees and shrubs dwarfed and trained into forms of animals and so forth. But I leaned heavy on the thought that my house and garden in Jonesville would look jest as queer to 'em, and got along without bein' too dumbfoundered. As I wuz a-walkin' along there I did think of the errant Old Miss Baker sent by me.
Bubbles' father, a fool called Hugh Dunster, who's lost what little money he ever had, is one of her descendants. There's something just a little Oriental and strange in Bubbles' appearance." "This is 'curiouser and curiouser, as Alice in Wonderland used to say!" exclaimed Panton. "Do you think I could persuade Miss Bubbles to give an exhibition of her psychic gifts?"
"No," he said, "the things weren't going to happen. But I decided to go abroad." I was "curiouser and curiouser," as Lorraine says. "But," I insisted, "what had Charles Edward to do with it?" There were a great many pauses that night as if, I think, he didn't know what was wise to say. I should imagine it would always be so with psychologists.
He took the name of Callandar from an uncle or something. Anyway it isn't his own." Esther hulled a particularly fine berry and carefully putting the hull in the pan, threw the berry away. "Curiouser and curiouser!" she said, quoting the immortal Alice. "Did you recognise him at once?" If it be possible for a lady of this enlightened age to simper, Mrs. Coombe simpered.
