"Well then, let me tell you, brother," said Sancho, "I haven't got the 'Don, nor has any one of my family ever had it; my name is plain Sancho Panza, and Sancho was my father's name, and Sancho was my grandfather's and they were all Panzas, without any Dons or Donas tacked on; I suspect that in this island there are more Dons than stones; but never mind; God knows what I mean, and maybe if my government lasts four days I'll weed out these Dons that no doubt are as great a nuisance as the midges, they're so plenty.
Our dancing was none of the French or English insipid formal movements; the ladies sung Scotch songs like angels, at intervals; then we flew at Bab at the Bowster, Tullochgorum, Loch Erroch Side, etc., like midges sporting in the mottie sun, or craws prognosticating a storm in a hairst day.

There are as many of such little affairs going as there are midges in a sunbeam; and they never do any one any harm, unless the higher powers make an unadvised hubbub.

Paul waved the dreaded houris away as though they were midges. "I'm sick of girls," he replied in a tone of such sincerity that Jane tossed her head. "Oh? Then I suppose you lump me with the rest and are sick of me too?" "Don't worry a fellow," said Paul. "You're not a girl-not in that sense, I mean. You're a pal." "Anyway, they're lots prettier than what I am," she said defiantly.

She was already far away among the trees, skirts wrapped close to avoid briers, big straw hat dangling in one hand.
But our first conversation was about the war, and it lasted until the judge's turn came for the telescope. "Black with people!" he ejaculated.

Right in the sun's eye, and off to southward all along that fantastic, crimson cloud-castle." Bohannan's gaze narrowed through his own glasses. Bracing his powerful legs against the quivering jar of the aileron, he brushed the horizon into his eager vision. The glasses steadied.
