Pandora's box, without the lid, stood next, containing nothing but the girdle of Venus, which had been carelessly flung into it. A bundle of birch-rods which had been used by Shenstone's schoolmistress were tied up with the Countess of Salisbury's garter. I know not which to value most, a roc's egg as big as an ordinary hogshead, or the shell of the egg which Columbus set upon its end.

It would have been laughable enough such a singular apparition under other circumstances but I perceived on the part of the Pandora's crew no disposition to laugh. A strict order from the captain had been issued against such behaviour; and enjoining all on board to receive "His Majesty King Dingo Bingo" with all courtesy and respect.
I fled, and the last I saw of the chivalrous gold-hunter, he had his arm about Pandora's stony waist and was endeavouring to soothe her supposed agitation by stroking her granite head. The Head of the Family. Our story begins with the death of our hero. The manner of it was decapitation, the instrument a mowing machine.
As the sun rose over the ocean, and lit up the scene of that terrible tragedy, Snowball saw not a living creature save his own protege, the sharks, and their satellites.

She was filled with contempt for herself, and yet at the bottom of her heart, like hope at the bottom of Pandora's box, there was tolerance.
