"What!" said the King, "do you know better than the doctors?" "I know," I replied, "what the small-pox is by my own experience, which is better than all the doctors; but I hope from my heart that I may be mistaken." On the same night, soon after midnight, the Dauphin died. He was quite humpbacked.
See the morning paper?" Mrs. Effingham blushingly acknowledged that she had not seen the paper. In fact, she was much too excited to see anything. "Sign here!" said the loan clerk, placing the note before the lawyer. Mr. Tutt indorsed it in his strange, humpbacked chirography. "Here are your bonds," said Mr. McKeever, handing Mrs. Effingham a small package in a manila envelope.
Thou must ask, O sire, the women of the house as to their welfare. Thou must also represent unto the maid-servants and man-servants there, may be of the Kurus, and also the many humpbacked and lame ones among them, that I am doing well, and thou must then ask them about their welfare. Thou must tell them, I hope, Dhritarashtra's son still vouchsafes the same kindly treatment to you.
This is the second humpbacked dwarf we have found occupying the like important post, the other was the prime minister of a Batonga chief on the Zambesi. As we sailed along, we disturbed many white-breasted cormorants; we had seen the same species fishing between the cataracts.
There he stands, smoking his pipe at the end of the Mews, out of work for weeks past, the idlest humpbacked pig in all London!" She pointed to the man whom I had passed on entering the Mews.

I think of the rapscallion, Wilke, who married a humpbacked seamstress, ran through her savings, and abused her daily and I almost embraced him. I think of the blond Teuton, Captain von Kessel, that handsome man, somewhat too insipid-looking and too thick-set, who is our absolute lord and whom we trust at first glance.
They were with their tutor, and all three had been laughing heartily at the disport of the king and his courtiers. The monarch came up and accosted them very pleasantly, proposing that they should take part in the game. The wretched Tuscans had been baked in a bad oven; they were undersized, ugly, and humpbacked. His majesty's proposal seemed to put them on thorns.
