Then we both laughed, but his laugh was nastier than usual, because it was meant to be pleasant, and he'd lost two drinks; and my laugh wasn't easy I was anxious as to which of us would laugh next. Just then I noticed something, and an idea struck me about the most up-to-date idea that ever struck me in my life.
This episode is retained, in spite of the work of purification which has been performed; and it may be said that if the original novel were nastier than this deodorised edition of it, it is very much of a wonder how the critical stomach kept it down. It is a refreshment to turn from this particular problem seeker to the work of a writer like Mrs.
Robert was glad of that. He wondered what 'scathe' was, and if it was nastier than the senna tea which he had to take sometimes. 'Unfold thy tale without alarm, said the leader kindly. 'Whence comest thou, and what is thine intent? 'My what? said Robert. 'What seekest thou to accomplish? What is thine errand, that thou wanderest here alone among these rough men-at-arms?
In less than a minute they had uncovered the nest, and laid the little pink, new-born mice out on the grass. They looked like half-hatched birds. "They are ugly," said Pelle, who did not quite like taking hold of them, but was ashamed not to do so. "They're much nastier to touch than toads. I believe they're poisonous." Rud lay pinching them between his fingers. "Poisonous! Don't be silly!
My idea was rather that the beverage was a sort of love-philtre, such as I had read of in my book of fairy tales. She had said: "Whoever will drink the ink shall be my husband." Faugh! the bottle was full to overflowing. How nasty it looked! Never mind! So much the better! I should have liked it to have been nastier still. I closed my eyes, and raised the bottle to my lips.
"I call the way you twist things round and make them hang together most unfair. You couldn't have been nastier if you'd caught me flirting. Could he, diddums?" "We're in a bad hole, and must make the best of it. I shall answer the pater's letter civilly. He's evidently anxious to do the decent thing. But I do not intend to forget these Schlegels in a hurry.
"Well," exclaimed Harry, as be scrutinized the strange mountain mass through the glasses, "I should say that if those Winged Men are to be found anywhere, here is where they'd reside." "I should think they'd use their wings to get out a nastier looking lot of mountains I never saw," was Ben's reply.
When we were safely on the other pavement we thanked the policeman very much, and then went on, asking our way till we got to Fenchurch Street. If anything could smell nastier than John's berth in Nine Elms it is Fenchurch Street Station. And I think it is worse in this way; John's berth smelt horrible, but it was warm and weather-tight.
"A nasty chicken again, Jenny." Jenny. "Oh, Sir, I have roasted it to a turn, and here is egg sauce." Felix. "Then give me the egg sauce, and you may have the chicken. I wish chickens were never invented." Jenny. "Would you like a duck, Sir?" Felix. "No, duck is nastier. I want a mutton chop, Jenny." Jenny. "But I have not got one, Sir." Felix. "Then a beefsteak." Jenny.
Notwithstanding the unspeakable defilement with which these strange sensualists spice all their food, they seem to have a quick and delicate sense of smell. What ridiculous-looking animals! Swift himself could not have imagined anything nastier than what they practise by the mere impulse of natural genius. Yet the Shakers keep their pigs very clean, and with great advantage.
