But, on the other 'and, Dirk, Stiletto, Goblin, Ghoul, Djinn, and A-frite Red Fleet dee-stroyers, with 'oom we hope to consort later on terms o' perfect equality are Thorneycrofts, an' carry that Grecian bend which we are now adjustin' to our arriere-pensee as the French would put it by means of painted canvas an' iron rods bent as requisite.
"You think I care for the world? Then you read me wrongly at the very outset of our interview, and your once reputed skill as a Seer goes for naught! To me the world is a graveyard full of dead, worm-eaten things, and its supposititious Creator, whom you have so be praised in your orisons to-night, is the Sexton who entombs, and the Ghoul who devours his own hapless Creation!
There was the house before us, a small oblong stone house, with not a tree to screen it from the cutting wind; but how were we to get at it from the churchyard we could not see! There was an old man in the churchyard, brooding like a Ghoul over the graves, with a sort of grim hilarity on his face.
It is too dreadful too horrible unutterably awful and incredible! O Kate, Kate!" and he rocked himself to and fro in his grief; "I pictured you an angel and I find you a " "A what?" I asked, for he had paused. He looked at me with a vacant stare, and then suddenly burst out, waving his arms: "A fiend!" he cried. "A ghoul from the pit! A vampire soul behind a lovely face!
I got into Jake's boat and followed him as quickly as I could, but we were a long way out before I got up with him, swimming strongly, gamely, almost viciously; on, on, heading for the Ghoul Rock and for the cross-currents at the open sea. I reached alongside him, but always he sheered away. I spoke to him kindly and coaxingly, but all I got from him in reply was a whimpering sob, as if to say:
Well, now he feels under an awful obligation to her, and all that sort of thing, you know." "And she drives it home, I bet. She looks a nipper." "Is always throwing it in his face." "What a ghoul!" "He'd do just ANYTHING to get rid of her, but Girls, it's a dead secret; you must swear you won't tell." Gestures of assurance were showered on her. "Well, he's to be a Bishop some day.
The image of the ugly Coppelius had, as Nathanael was obliged to confess to himself, faded considerably in his fancy, and it often cost him great pains to present him in vivid colours in his literary efforts, in which he played the part of the ghoul of Destiny. At length it entered into his head to make his dismal presentiment that Coppelius would ruin his happiness the subject of a poem.
But alas! that swift Camilla, after scouring the plain some two hundred feet with her demitrain, came to grief on an unbending tussock and sat down, panting but savage. As they plodded wearily toward her, she bit her red lips, smacked them on her cruel little white teeth like a festive and sprightly ghoul, and lisped: "You DO look so like guys!
When the echo of his own voice died, it was as if the ghoul who made the echoes had taken shape. A beard red eye-rims and a hook nose came out of the dark, and Ismail bared yellow teeth. "Come!" he said. "Come, little hakim!" Private preserves? New Notions? Measure me a quart of honesty, And I will trade it for a pound weight of my thoughts.
Why, when I was sick once, she wanted me to die, so she could ride to my funeral in the front carriage; she doted on funerals, the little ghoul! She was horribly disappointed when I got better she thought it disobliging of me, and that I'd done it to spite her. Once, too, when I tried to reason with her and Mary Virginia needed reason if ever a kid did she bumped my head until I had knots on it.
