What we have to deal with in this world is the practical human fact, and a good half of that is tangled up with some sort of religious belief or sentiment. At least, that's the way I'm finding it." "It's the way it is," said Caleb sententiously. And after a pause: "I allow it helps some, too; greases the wheels some if it don't do anything more." "It does much more," was the quick reply.
This greases it sufficiently, and it glides along over the stones almost as smoothly as if passing over ice." Frank thoroughly enjoyed his run on shore, but was surprised at the air of listlessness which pervaded the inhabitants. Every one moved about in the most dawdling fashion.
Her lip showed her scorn. "That's what we all think. Meanwhile you will perhaps admit that a little charity greases the wheels." "You must, because you are a woman; and women are made for charity and aristocracy." "Do you suppose you know so much about women?" she asked him, rather hotly. "I notice it is always the assumption of the people who make most mistakes." "Oh!
Thus in Suffolk if a man cuts himself with a bill-hook or a scythe he always takes care to keep the weapon bright, and oils it to prevent the wound from festering. If he runs a thorn or, as he calls it, a bush into his hand, he oils or greases the extracted thorn. A man came to a doctor with an inflamed hand, having run a thorn into it while he was hedging.
So while she greases her frying-pan, and gets ready to fry something for him, she tells him how she sold her hemp, and gabbles away as females do, but not a word does she say about the pigs, nor about the gentleman who was murdered and robbed and eaten. She holds her frying-pan in the flames so as to clean it, draws it out again to give it a wipe, and finds it full of blood.

Come, the thought is a good one I say, garcon, who greases the wheels of the carriage here?" "C'est moi, monsieur," said a great oaf, in wooden shoes and a blouse.
All about are ancient warehouses, redolent of the Thames, with steep roofs and sometimes stairs outside, and with tall shutters, a crescent-shaped hole in each. There is a dealer in weather-vanes. Other things dealt in hereabout are these: chronometers, "nautical instruments," wax gums, cordage and twine, marine paints, cotton wool and waste, turpentine, oils, greases, and rosin.
There is no objection to boys' and men's wetting their hair in cold water as often as they wish, provided that they rub it thoroughly dry afterward and give it a brisk currying with the brush. Hair oils and greases of all sorts are sanitary nuisances, and mere half-civilized and lazy substitutes for proper brushing and washing.
And left alone, he sat down upon the bench again and laughed aloud. The woman almost ran to the road at the bottom and jumped into a waiting taxi, and once inside she brought out a gold case with mirror and powder puff, and red greases for her lips. "My goodness! I can't say that's a mosquito!" and she examined her ear. "How tiresome and imprudent of Hans!
