I may remark by the way that the dirtier people are in their persons the more delicate is their sense of modesty.
"Here I am at last!" exclaimed the professor, somewhat wearily, clasping his friend's hand as he listened to the young doctor's warm greetings and questions. "Here I am a little older, and much dirtier than when you last saw me!" He glanced down laughingly at his travel-stained garments.
"I can't get money by the sweat of my brow," said Dickie to himself; "nobody would let me run their errands when they could get a boy with both legs to do them. Not likely. I wish I'd got something I could sell." He looked round the yard dirtier and nastier than ever now in the parts that the Man Next Door had not had time to dig.
As they walked on it grew narrower and dirtier, and the houses became tenement houses only. "Do, for pity's sake, hurry and get out of here," said Joy, daintily holding up her dress. Gypsy walked on and said nothing. Red-faced women in ragged dresses began to cluster on the steps; muddy-faced children screamed and quarreled in the road.
"But Thyrsis, this is dirtier than ever!" "I know it. The wind is blowing harder." "But if you'd only reach out a little ways " "I reached out till I nearly fell into the water!" "But Thyrsis, how can I ever wash my face?" And so it would go.

He left the castle soon after breakfast the luxurious, elegant breakfast, served by domestics who performed their work with the accuracy and perfection of machines. He arrived at Ford Bank before the man-servant had quite finished the dirtier part of his morning's work, and he came to the glass-door in his striped cotton jacket, a little soiled, and rolling up his working apron.
My friend said Constantinople put him in mind of a lot of opera bouffe scenery that had got spilled out in the mud. Say, Court, he said the streets were dirtier than the Chicago streets." "Oh, come now," said Hirsch. "Fact! And the dogs! He told us he knows now where all the yellow dogs go to when they die." "But say," remarked Hirsch, "what is that about the Higgins-Pasha business?
And finally after an interval in a cubby hole that could not boast even The Anti-Vaccination Record, you were driven along a dirtier passage into a dirtiest room whose windows were obscured by generations of filth, and in that room sat a spick and span lawyer of great name who was probably an ex-president of the Incorporated Law Society.
Red House, who is my idea of a feudal lady in a castle, said, "Oh, come along, let's go and partially clean ourselves. I'm dirtier than anybody, though I haven't explored a bit. I've often noticed that the more you admire things the more they come off on you!" So we all washed as much as we cared to, and went to tea at the gentleman's house, which was only a cottage, but very beautiful.
