I don't believe squaws ever do anything if they can help it. Before she went off riding today, for instance, that girl spent a whole HOUR brushing her hair and braiding it. And I do believe she GREASES it to make it shine the way it does! And the powder she piles on her face just to ride out on the mesa!"
They were dressed in their best calico, muslin, silk and satin, with laces and artificial flowers, earrings, necklaces, and with shoes the heels of which measured from thirty to thirty-five millimeters. They were perfumed; their hair was heavily oiled with odorous greases.
"By Heavens, I don't believe it!" he blurted out, his gaze direct upon the Unspeakable Perk. "What don't you believe?" "That rotten club gossip." "About me?" "Yes," said Carroll, reddening. The hermit pushed his glasses down, settled into place the white gloves, with their soothing contents of emollient greases, and got to his feet. "We'd best be moving. I've got much to do," he said.
He is a farmer's son, and his father's utmost ambition is to make him an attorney. He doth itch towards a poet, and greases his breeches extremely with feeding without a napkin. He studies false dice to cheat costermongers. He eats gingerbread at a playhouse, and is so saucy that he ventures fairly for a broken pate at the banqueting-house, and hath it.
Yet I cannot account, why a thing which requires so little exertion, and yet preserves the mind from total vacuity, should have gone out . Every man has something by which he calms himself: beating with his feet, or so . I remember when people in England changed a shirt only once a week : a Pandour, when he gets a shirt, greases it to make it last.
Two this exactly like the first, except that those inseparables, Hagar, Viney, and Lucy, whom Miss Georgie had inelegantly dubbed "the Three Greases," appeared, silent, blanket-enshrouded, and perspiring, at the office door in mid-afternoon. Half a box of soggy chocolates which the heat had rendered a dismally sticky mass won from them smiles and half-intelligible speech.
Ay, ay, vanity is truly the motive-power that moves humanity, and it is flattery that greases the wheels. If you want to win affection and respect in this world, you must flatter people. Flatter high and low, and rich and poor, and silly and wise. You will get on famously. Praise this man's virtues and that man's vices.
Of course it is annoying to be kicked in the shins and to be squeezed horribly in the greases, but it is the dirt I object to most. If one could but get one's flannels and jerseys properly washed every time it would not matter so much, but it is disgusting to have to put on things that look as if they had been rolled in mud." "I wonder you play at all, Easton," Skinner said angrily.
Sprawled upon battered chairs and draped over battered desks, they inhaled the smells of rancid greases that floated in to them from the back of the building; they coddled their disappointment to keep it warm and they talked shop.
Arter all, you's niggers, much as I am." "Aunt Dinah greases her wool stiff, every day, to make it lie straight," said Jane. "And it will be wool, after all," said Rosa, maliciously shaking down her long, silky curls. "Well, in the Lord's sight, an't wool as good as bar, any time?" said Dinah. "I'd like to have Missis say which is worth the most, a couple such as you, or one like me.
