But I could not consume my own smoke, or prevent explosions, or convert bad and suffocating odours into sweet smells. Settling down to this new pursuit with intense enthusiasm, I soon began to flow in my natural course, and sought to extend the bounds of chemical knowledge. I could not help it. The particular direction in which my interest ultimately became concentrated was that of explosives.
Then we went out and waited a little while to give the odours time to dissipate, for they made the head reel. After five minutes or so we returned and examined the thermometer. It had risen to 98 degrees, the natural temperature of the human body. "What do you make of that if the man is dead?" he whispered.
The circumscribed space afforded the players by the intrusion on the stage of the seats for the "quality" did not embarrass her. The combined odours of oranges and candle snuff had their charm. The house was full, but in the dim and smoky candlelight the faces of the audience were little better than rows of shadowy masks. The pit occupied the entire floor of the house right up to the orchestra.
But he would not deny himself the pleasure of giving picturesque details of the odours which met his nostril. With a fierce delight in his own realism he described the woman who had opened the door for him.

But my eyes fall on a piece of porcelain and I smell the acrid odours of China. I am borne in a chair along a narrow causeway between the padi fields, or else I skirt a tree-clad mountain. My bearers chat gaily as they trudge along in the bright morning and every now and then, distant and mysterious, I hear the deep sound of a monastery bell.
She remembered the motive of her call at Wickham Place, and smelt again odours from the abyss odours the more disturbing because they were involuntary. For there was no malice in Jacky.

Oh, how nice and shippy and tarry you do smell! said Josie, sniffing at him with great enjoyment of the fresh sea odours he brought with him. This was her favourite cousin, and she was his pet; so she knew that the bulging pockets of the blue jacket contained treasures for her at least.
