"Why don't you fool him sometimes?" I suggested. "Make a nest out of a mustard-plaster and see what he would do." "He's too old a bird to be caught that way," said Cephalus. "He's a confounded old ass, but he's a brainy one." At this moment a blare of the most heavenly trumpets sounded, and Cephalus and I left the building and emerged into the garden to see what had caused it.
Because, you jade, you've all but driven a twenty-pound rooster clean through it beak, spurs and tail feathers that's why!" bawled the doctor. "Gad! I shall be black and blue for a fortnight! I'm colicky now: I need a mustard-plaster!" "Two mustard-plasters," I insisted severely: "one on your tongue and the other on your temper!" "Temper?" flared the doctor, and flung up his arms. "Temper?
"In England, where there's no sun, there's plenty of shade and here, where the sun is like a mustard-plaster on one's back, the leaves are all set edgewise on purpose that they shan't cast any shadow!" Angiolino made no answer to this intelligent remark. "He is going to sleep again!" cried Goneril, stopping her lunch in despair. "He is going to sleep, and there are no end of things I want to know.
His glance followed mine as it rested for a moment on the monkey-like hairs. "False, obviously false," he remarked with his lips; and I'm bound to confess I never saw any man speak so well by movement alone; you could follow every word though not a sound escaped him.

But Kongstrup, who was there himself, entering the weight, interfered. "No, if he's ill he must be allowed to keep his bed," he said. "But it's our duty to do something to cure him." "How about a mustard-plaster?" suggested Mons, with a defiant glance at the bailiff. Kongstrup rubbed his hands with delight. "Yes, that'll be splendid!" he said.
The torture resulting from these burns was so severe that it was almost impossible to sleep. The fur bedding, which also served the purpose of a pillow, irritated the burns like applying a mustard-plaster to a blister. Then it was that the night was turned into day for the rest of the journey, and during the heat of the day the party were comparatively comfortable in the shelter of their tent.

"Master ain't so well to-night," remarked she. "He's gone to bed, and missis is putting him a plaster on his chest." The words fell as ice on old Ketch. "A mustard-plaster?" shrieked he. "What else but a mustard-plaster!" she retorted. "Did you think it was a pitch? There's a fire lighted in his room, and she's making it there." Nothing more certain.
The boy felt the touch of the beast almost loathsome, and longed to escape from his situation on its neck. Soon the cramped position began to tell, for they were jammed together, and Tippoo felt like a mustard-plaster upon Alec's back.
"It's not possible!" exclaimed the wife. "It's true. And the boy's only nine years old, that Vania Moroshkine." "What did you do to try to save him?" asked the wife. "I tried everything that could be done. I gave him an emetic and put a mustard-plaster on him. He has every symptom of delirium tremens." "It's no wonder the whole family are drunkards.
