Why, it sounded like Gabriel's trump. Peter must have put some lung power into it. Well, that was the signal that Miss Mary was safe in your car ... but in our charge. D'you comprehend? He did.
"Ah ah!" said she, softer than before and most hatefully a-smiling, "'tis for her sake your chin goeth bare and smooth yes? She is over-nice in the matter of " "I tell you she is gone!" said I in fury. "Gone gone, is she? And you alone here, longing but for her return, through weeks and months and years waiting for her to come back to you; is not this the truth of it, yes?"
The pair shook hands with one another. Then, doffing their caps, they embraced. "What sort of man is this Chichikov?" thought Vassili. "As a rule my brother Platon is not over-nice in his choice of acquaintances."

Such use of saliva is no more to be deprecated than its application in a hundred other ways, such as moistening the fingers to turn a leaf, of "licking" one's fingers after eating candy. Such use of this fluid from the mouth might be condemned by the "over-nice," but it is quite universally practiced, and it is neither unwholesome nor unsanitary.
"As to the eggs," said Louis, "we can eat them raw; it is not for hungry wanderers like us to be over-nice about our food." "They would satisfy us much better were they boiled, or roasted in the ashes," observed Hector. "True. Well, a fire, I think, can be got with a little trouble." "But how?" asked Hector.
