"For if you'd heard of it before, I don't believe you'd have been as ready as Deborah was, apparently, to risk infecting the children here." Edith's voice was gentle, slow and relentless.

But suppose, on the one hand, this rubbish, say that which lies about the mouth of a coal-pit, could be by some process made to produce the most lovely flowers, or that, on the other hand, if neglected, it would bring out the most horrible weeds of poison; infecting the air, or say horrible creeping things, then the word rubbish would mean either too much or too little; for it means what can be put to no use, and what is noxious by its mere presence, its ugliness and immediate defilement.
The men who organise national disputes are a sort of mosquito, infecting their fellow-creatures with perverted mentality and disease, they should be exterminated." "Why not begin with the newspaper offices?" suggested Gwent "The purlieus of cheap journalism are the breeding-places of the human malaria-mosquito." "True! Cut off one tentacle, it grows another.
