'I thought he'd never die. 'God knows, said the first, with a yawn. 'What has he done with his money? asked a red-faced gentleman with a pendulous excrescence on the end of his nose, that shook like the gills of a turkey-cock. 'I haven't heard, said the man with the large chin, yawning again. 'Left it to his company, perhaps. He hasn't left it to me. That's all I know.
Caspar continued to scrutinise these two curious objects the tusk-like excrescence, and the dark disc from which it protruded; and not until he became fully aware that the former had life in it, did he communicate his discovery to his companions.
Some historians have recorded, that Marcellus had offered sacrifices on that day, and that in the first victim slain, the liver was found without its head; in the second, that all the usual parts were present, and that there was also an excrescence in the head. That the aruspex was not, indeed, pleased that the entrails should first have appeared mutilated and foul, and then too exuberant.
As an adornment to the Church I am sure they will continue to shine. In the State they have become an excrescence and an impediment." "You are pushing your definition of impediments rather far when you plan a new thoroughfare, giving strangers the entrée to church premises." "It is really your definition of 'premises," said the Prime Minister, "over which we are chiefly at issue.
"Indeed," said Mr. Direck, raising his voice a little, "I've seen scarcely anything in England that wasn't domesticated, unless it was some of your back streets in London." Mr. Britling seemed to reflect for a moment. "They're an excrescence," he said.... Section 3

The most exquisite fabric that can be imagined a scarlet veil, like a silken net falls over this ugly fungus, and, spreading like a tent at its base, it is there attached to the ground.
The day is drawing to a close; they reach their goal, a miserable, grey, draggled town at the mouth of the Vilaine, and are roughly brought before the arbiter of their lives Thureau himself, the monstrous excrescence of the times, who, like Marat and Carrier, sees nothing in the new freedom but a free opening for the lowest instincts of ferocity.
The children found their grandfather in the oriel room, so called because of the great oriel window, which was a small room in itself, although it looked, as you approached the castle, no bigger than a swallow's nest on the face of the solid masonry, being the only excrescence visible above the trees from that point of view.
There was another excrescence on the walls just like it at the north-east corner, but this, though the view from it was almost more beautiful, for from it you could see the bay and the lovely mountains behind Mezzago, was exposed. No bushes grew near it, nor had it any shade.
We must know how to distinguish the excrescence from the real idea. Rosicrucianism died out at the beginning of the 19th century. Those who now parade as rosicrucians are imposters or imposed on, or societies that have used rosicrucian names as a label. Many serious scholars doubt that the old Rosicrucians ever existed as an organized fraternity.
