"Oh, indeed, they are very throublesome," says Larry, "and are the litherary gintlemen, sir, as you call them, mostly that way?" "To be sure; it is that which makes a litherary man: his head is full teems with creation, sir." "Dear, dear!" said Larry. "And when once the itch of litherature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen."
Friar John was got into the cook-room, examining, by the ascendant of the spits and the horoscope of ragouts and fricassees, what time of day it might then be. Gymnast was making tooth-pickers with lentisk. Ponocrates, dozing, dozed, and dreaming, dreamed; tickled himself to make himself laugh, and with one finger scratched his noddle where it did not itch.
As they grow stronger, consciousness becomes a sensation rather like an itch somewhere in the upper abdomen, and accompanied sometimes by a sense of general weakness. The vegetative activity going on as a current almost on the outside of the stream of feeling has swelled and warmed, and so forced itself, in a manner of speaking, into the center of the stream.
So Mackay, with thick-tongued metallic effort. I found this brown room of the Commons-house, with its green benches, and grilled galleries, so agreeable to my mood, that I went again the next morning, and listened to more records, till they tired me: for what I had was a prurient itch to hear secret scandals, and revelations of the festering heart, but these cylinders, gathered from a shop, divulged nothing.
If, however, the men who had followed Alexander were willing to let sleeping dogs lie, the other faction had not only the rancor of defeat remaining with them, but also the incurable itch of uneasy consciences.
After tea Stella put a book down beside him, and said shyly: "Have you read that, Frank?" It was Farrar's "Life of Christ." Ashurst smiled. Her anxiety about his beliefs seemed to him comic, but touching. Infectious too, perhaps, for he began to have an itch to justify himself, if not to convert her.
He did not want to hurt her, but an itch to dominate pushed him on to say: "While one's alive one naturally wants to go on living for ever; that's part of being alive. But it probably isn't anything more." "Don't you believe in the Bible at all, then?" Ashurst thought: 'Now I shall really hurt her! "I believe in the Sermon on the Mount, because it's beautiful and good for all time."
Nor did we quarrel among ourselves and show them European weakness. Guacanagari remained a big, easy, somewhat slothful, friendly barbarian, a child in much, but brave enough when roused and not without common sense. He had an itch for marvels, loved to hear tales of our world that for all one could say remained to them witchcraft and cloudland, world above their world!
Night found us faint and spent and ravenous for water and none to be found, and to add further to our agonies, these accursed flies were all about us still, singing and humming, and whose bite set up a tickling itch, so that what with these and our thirst we got little or no rest. "Martin," said Sir Richard, hearing me groan, "we should be scarce four days from the sea by my reckoning "
But once, meeting a man who blocked his path in the first upper reaches of the hills, beyond Fairview, he had felt the even more primitive itch of self-preservation urging him to the ultimate crime. Would he end by going a step farther and planning the destruction of life in cold blood? It was curious how constant association with a sensational idea dulled the edge of its novelty.
