He nodded, drank a huge draught and wiped his moustache with his hand. "Better have some. I've got a cask in the bedroom." "Good God!" said I, aghast. "What else do you keep there? A side of bacon and a Limburger cheese and Bombay duck?" Now just imagine a civilised gentleman keeping a cask of beer in his bedroom.
The last time you were here and put red fire on the roof and then turned in a fire alarm cost me twenty-five iron men and the hotel company a round dozen of Pommery. It's going too strong, I tell you! I'm a joke hound myself but a starving Dutchman can get too much limburger if he's locked up in a cheese factory."
Garments create a mental and social atmosphere. What can be hoped for the Americanism of a man who insists on employing a London tailor? One's very food affects his Americanism. What kind of American consciousness can grow in the atmosphere of sauerkraut and Limburger cheese? This lady might well have been the patron of a pageant which a friend of mine once attended.
Could you get that face from a Limburger cheese? And the dope? After handing you a valentine that 'ud scare a blind Choyeuse, and you couldn't rec'nize for a man without a spy glass, they set right in to tell you he's 'wanted' for things he did in the North-west two and a haf years ago.

This native product seems to be valued by the people here in proportion as it is rancid, being regarded by them with more than affection when it has reached a degree of rancidness and odoriferousness that would drive a European barring perhaps, a Limburger out of the house.
Now-a-days many of us do not even get a smell of money, but in the good days which are coming the gentle zephyr will waft to us the able-bodied Limburger, and we shall know that money is plenty.
Moreover, the flavours and the tastes that arise have a decided resemblance in many cases to the decomposition products of bacteria, strikingly so in Limburger cheese. When we come to study the matter of cheese ripening carefully we learn beyond question that this a priori conclusion is correct. The ripening of any cheese is dependent upon several different factors.
The round stupid face of the moon stood tranquilly dozing like a great Limburger cheese suspended under the sky. Ralph, at least, could think of a no more fitting simile.
