Let the savage Indians torture captives to death by the slow flaming fagot, but let civilized man respect the tenderness and love of confiding women. Torturing the opposite sex is double-distilled barbarity. Young men agonizing young ladies, is the cold-blooded cruelty of devils, not men.
Just keep going, and the machine will carry you beyond your expectations. The Professor knew nothing about machinery and less about an automobile, but where ignorance is bliss it is double-distilled folly to know anything about the eccentricities of an automobile.
The brow puckered together, in a wide web of wrinkles from each temple, as if it meant to hide the bad pair of eyes, which look suspicion; inquiry, apprehension, habit of double-distilled mendacity; the indeterminate projecting chin, with its thick, chapped under-lip, is shaken out, or shoved out, in mill-hopper fashion, as if to swallow anything there may be, spoken thing or other, and grind it to profitable meal for itself.
What a double-distilled ass I am! Of course it is simple enough. If a divided by b equals c divided by d, and a and b be prime to each other, c and d are equimultiples of a and b. Of course they are; how could they be anything else? The other fellows saw it at once, no doubt. What a lot of trouble it gives one to be a fool! Now, I'll go and practise bowling."
Furneaux used the telephone, or did any one ring up?" "No, sir," said Bates, coming hurriedly at that urgent call. "Fust thing I knew was he was tearin' out, an' runnin' downstairs like mad." "O, double-distilled idiot that I am!" growled Theydon again. "Why didn't I go with them!"
The man addressed a red-faced, good-humoured-looking sailor, whose bare arms formed a sort of picture-gallery of subjects tattooed in blue rubbed his ear and stared. "Why, the ironwork's heavy and might break the pottery," he said at last. "Well, won't it break that light carriage, you double-distilled, round-headed wise man of the west, you!
But if, as was often the case, some miner, crazed with an overdose of "double-distilled damnation," fell a victim to the revolver or knife of a gambler, there was sure to be "something doing." Among these restless, adventurous men there was a semblance of law, but its administration was too often a mockery and a farce. This, however, only applies to the early days of the camp.
Having commenced in untruth, would it not be expedient to persevere until we reach America? I, at least, cannot now assert a right to my proper name, without deposing an usurper!" "It will be expedient for you, certainly, if it be only to escape the homage of that double-distilled democrat, Mr. Dodge.
"I say," he said, excitedly, "I've been cross-examining that rascal, Ike, and I've found out who smuggled the whiskey to him." "Who was it?" Madge and Frank cried almost in unison. "That double-distilled, three-ply scoundrel, Horace Holton," said the Colonel, angrily. "Holton!" Frank exclaimed. "I wouldn't have believed it!" "I would," Madge commented. "I'll find him and settle with him for it!"
'And sometimes through the week, I should think, said Mannering, continuing the same tone. 'Why, yes; as far as my vocation will permit. I am, as Hamlet says, indifferent honest, when my clients and their solicitors do not make me the medium of conveying their double-distilled lies to the bench. But oportet vivere! it is a sad thing.
