There was lacking, also, the heavy, fishy odor of seal oil, never absent from the Eskimo home, for Skipper Ed had provided a log outhouse, a little apart from his cabin, as a storehouse for seal oil and fish and pelts. Dusk was settling. Skipper Ed lighted candles and kindled a fire in the stove, and he and Jimmy together set about preparing supper.
What's that stultifying saying about chowder-headed people? "But look, Queequeg, ain't that a live eel in your bowl? Where's your harpoon?" Fishiest of all fishy places was the Try Pots, which well deserved its name; for the pots there were always boiling chowders.
Did you notice what he said about holding a commission from Azuria, and then hurrying to explain that Azuria isn't on the ordinary maps just a wee bit of a kingdom up in the Carpathians, yet in the confines of Roumania? I call that fishy!" "Not entirely so, Tommy.
Well, for all his patronizing ways, he was not very old himself. "Of course," he said, "if you are telling the truth and it sounds fishy, I must say it's hardly a Police matter, is it? It's rather one for diplomasy. But can you prove what you say?" "My word should be suficient," I replied stiffly. "How do I know that YOU belong here?" "Well, you don't, as a matter of fact.
"Of course he may have done," said Bruce. "But it's a bit fishy that he should have been playing fives all right two days running just after the competition." "He might have crocked himself then." "Then why didn't he say so?" A question which Sheen found himself unable to answer.
My first impressions of an Inn dated from the Nursery; consequently I went back to the Nursery for a starting-point, and found myself at the knee of a sallow woman with a fishy eye, an aquiline nose, and a green gown, whose specially was a dismal narrative of a landlord by the roadside, whose visitors unaccountably disappeared for many years, until it was discovered that the pursuit of his life had been to convert them into pies.
We're going aboard of a ship of which we don't know nothing; we've got a chest of specie, and seeing the weight, we can't turn to and deny it. Now, suppose she was fishy; suppose it was some kind of a Bully Hayes business! It's my opinion we'd better be on hand with the pistols."
Halfway down the hill, just beyond the First Church and the post-office, was the rambling, galleried old structure across the face of which, and high under its eaves, was painted the name "Cardhaven Inn." A pungent, fishy smell swept up the street with the hot breeze. The tide was out and the flats were bare. The coach stopped before the post-office, and Louise got out briskly with her bag.
If I don't like a man's looks, depend upon it I shall never like HIM. I don't want to know people that look ugly and disagreeable, any more than I want to taste dishes that look disagreeable. If they make me shudder at the first glance, I say, take them away. An ugly, piggish, or fishy eye, now, makes me feel quite ill; it's like a bad smell."
"Then they would be right. That's exactly what we're gonna talk about." "No, sir! I ain't got a word to say not a word!" The big man showed signs of panic. "Then I'll say it." The dancing light died out of Kirby's eyes. They became hard and steady as agates. "Who killed Cunningham, Hull?" The fishy eyes of the man dodged. A startled oath escaped him. "How do I know?" "Didn't you kill him?"
