"That's what he says, but the truth is he got mixed up in a disreputable affair and had to resign. No doubt he has been going to the 'demnition bow-bows, as Mr. Mantalini says, but he wasn't so mad as to throw away his bread just to have the pleasure of starving. He hasn't a ha'penny." "Well, I don't care," said the other with a laugh, and then went on to talk of other things.
So Richardson gave him employment, and in correcting proof the discovery was made that the Irish doctor could turn a sentence, too. He became affected with literary eczema, and wrote a tragedy which he read to Richardson and a few assembled friends. They voted it "vile, demnition vile."
"Take my word for it, Uncle, we're not going to the demnition bowwows count on England's bulldog grit. God help Germany when the Allies get into that country!" "When ah, when?" echoed Sir Percival. "I hope that I live to see the day. Tell me, boy," his voice softening, "how is it with you and Molly?" His nephew reddened under his tan. "Molly doesn't care for a chap like me," he muttered.
'Yes, my life and soul, I am, replied her husband, dropping on his knees, and pouncing with kitten-like playfulness upon a stray sovereign. 'I am here, my soul's delight, upon Tom Tiddler's ground, picking up the demnition gold and silver. 'I am ashamed of you, said Madame Mantalini, with much indignation. 'Ashamed of ME, my joy?
A coroner's inquest was in session at Russell, and in the benighted regions of the Eastern States where the functions of that worthy public officer are mainly exercised in connection with the "demnition moist" remains of the "found drowned," or the attenuated skeletons of the starved, there can be but faint conception of the divinity which doth hedge a coroner in a frontier city where people, as a rule, die with their boots on.
'If you will be odiously, demnebly, outrIgeously jealous, my soul, said Mr Mantalini, 'you will be very miserable horrid miserable demnition miserable. And then, there was a sound as though Mr Mantalini were sipping his coffee. 'I AM miserable, returned Madame Mantalini, evidently pouting. 'Then you are an ungrateful, unworthy, demd unthankful little fairy, said Mr Mantalini.
Mr Mantalini waited, with much decorum, to hear the amount of the proposed stipend, but when it reached his ears, he cast his hat and cane upon the floor, and drawing out his pocket-handkerchief, gave vent to his feelings in a dismal moan.

Am I right?" Schuyler watched a little ring of blue smoke rising to the ceiling. "No," he answered, slowly, "you're wrong. I care nothing for the plaudits of the populace.
'I will never break its heart, I will be a good boy, and never do so any more; I will never be naughty again; I beg its little pardon, said Mr Mantalini, dropping the handle of the mangle, and folding his palms together; 'it is all up with its handsome friend! He has gone to the demnition bow-wows. It will have pity? It will not scratch and claw, but pet and comfort? Oh, demmit!
'It is but manner. 'It is a demd uncomfortable, private-madhouse-sort of a manner, said Mr Mantalini, picking up his cane. Ralph affected to smile, and once more inquired from whom Mr Mantalini had derived his information. 'From Pyke; and a demd, fine, pleasant, gentlemanly dog it is, replied Mantalini.
