He had obtained a scanty supply of thirst quenching stuff from the pulpy insides of cactus and maguey leaves, but when the aviators had discovered him he had been in the last stages of death from thirst and exhaustion the death that so many men on the alkali have met alone and bravely.
"Where'd you and your Old Man be but for us? In a blasted steel tank, floating about on the bloomin' sea! What's a ship without insides?" The Captain's boy, who was fourteen, and kept his bath sponge in a rubber bag, and shaved now and then with the Captain's razor, retorted in kind. "You fellows below think you're the whole bally ship!" he said loftily.
"Better empty insides than cloven skulls, lads," observed Roger; "ere long we shall have a deer crossing our path near enough to bring it down without the risk of being taken at a disadvantage." The men, seeing the wisdom of this, marched forward without complaint.
Mackworth was "in-legged" ... that is, his legs on the insides rubbed together from the crotch to the knees ... and he wore old patches, hanging there actually in strips ... and, I think, had his trouser-seat patched, too ... and though he could have afforded a car, he drove about, he and his family, in a rickety old two-seated rig, deliberately kept, it seemed, in ill-repair ... and it was such an old ex-plow horse that dragged it about!
Lordy, this jerky sure gives a man’s chewers a workout!" They chewed away at the dark sun-dried carne of the border country. There was about as much flavor in it as in a piece of wood, but it kept a man’s insides busy and about half satisfied. And they did have water. Drew looked out over the land about them.

Most com-pli-cated insides in all the king-dom.
"I vos yoost goin' to fill me op mit der dings like a good soldier, Captain," he said in anxiety. "So I perceive," I answered, my own spirits high. "The long night of fasting must have left quite a vacancy." "I vos like a cistern in mein insides, by Chiminy." "No doubt; well, I am rather hungry myself. Mrs. Bungay, in memory of old times cannot you spare me a plate?

Here, too, I saw a table laid for the evening meal with a bedstead fallen from the upper floor astraddle across it. The insides of the houses were coughed into their windows, basket-chairs hanging to the sills, and fire-irons.
I looked at the potatoes yesterday, and the weeds have got the start of them already." "If I must weed the garden, give me something to eat too," begged Jock. "This milk'll do no more than slop around in my insides to make me feel my emptiness." Jean opened the cupboard door and peeped within. "There's nothing for you, laddie," she said, "but this piece of a scone.
