He writes the names of the remedies on scraps of paper, moistens the paper with saliva, and rolls them into pills, which the patient tosses down with the same perfect confidence as though they were genuine medicaments, his faith leading him to believe that swallowing a remedy or its name is equally efficacious. A "goanna" scrambled for safety up a small tree. Adolphus undertook to kill it.
And a tiny tear moistens her reddened eyelids. The friend and all the rest of the ladies cast indignant glances at the husband. An attack is imminent and the friend sharpens her tongue. "Has anybody here present read Luther's views on the right of a woman?" "What right is that?" asks his wife. "To look out for another partner if she is dissatisfied with the one she has." There is a pause.
There were comrades battling for life in the Colorado Rockies, and aid could not come too soon. Under the cloudless heavens, under the starlit skies, blessing the grateful dew that cools the upland air and moistens the bunch-grass that has been bleaching all day in the fierce rays of the summer sun, a little column of infantry is swinging steadily southward.
But women with a dropsy could not be said to have the womb fallen down, if it came only from looseness; but in them it is caused by the saltness of the water, which dries more than it moistens.
We are alone, they and I, in the lighted prison which I have constructed for them. I regard them, I contemplate them, I admire them, I adore them, the one after the other. How healthy, strong and rosy, a rosiness that moistens the lips of desire! How I love them!
But "the bishop must be the hand which supports, the pilot who directs, the anchor that stays, the hammer that strikes, the sun that enlightens, the dew which moistens, the tablet to be written on, the book to be read, the mirror to be seen in, the terror that terrifies, the image of all that is good; and let him be all for all."
What are our mouthfuls in comparison with his? however, it must be confessed, that his often take several days to go down. When the animal has rolled up his prey in his terrible folds, he pounds and kneads it till it is reduced to a kind of long roll, which he moistens with a copious slaver to make it slip down more easily.
One in particular has always appealed to me and is worth describing. He takes a piece of tissue paper which he either chews, or moistens somehow and rolls it into a small ball like pulp. This he places on his fan and tosses up into the air several times while it gradually assumes the shape of an egg.
Grayish blue steam whirls up to the shadowed ceiling and moistens with falling drops the rounded silver of the tea urn. The bell rings. From the housekeeper's rooms floats an odour of fresh baked breads. They are having a feast there. Perhaps they mean to prepare one for the master, too. A new book that has come a great distance to-day is in my hand. I read.
The saliva also moistens the food into a mass for swallowing, and aids in speech by keeping the mouth moist. The activity of the salivary glands is largely regulated by their abundant supply of nerves. Thus, the saliva flows into the mouth, even at the sight, smell, or thought of food. This is popularly known as "making the mouth water."
