But from being a warrior of great sense and spirit, he became a perverse-minded and piggish fellow, showing many of the characteristics of his swinish grafting. He survived the operation more than a year; at the end of that period, however, going mad, and dying in his delirium. Stoutly backed by the narrator, this anecdote was credited by some present. But Babbalanja held out to the last.
They advance to the attack with the greatest impetuosity, and a feast upon snake is the usual reward of exceptional bravery. "Jeff" was a confirmed lover of good eating, and in time paid the usual penalty for over-indulgence of his very piggish appetite.
"But, I say, it's much the finest of the lot!" "That's why I had it put there. There is too much color in that room for a red one, you know." Bartley began to sort the greens. "It looks very splendid there, but I feel piggish to have it. However, we really spend more time there than anywhere else in the house. Will you hand me the holly?"
"What can they be about?" said Lawrence, as they drew near. "Killin' pigs, I t'ink." "I think not; there seems too much excitement for that." There certainly was a considerable noise of piggish voices, and the Gauchos were galloping about in an unaccountable manner, but, as is usually the case, a little investigation explained the seemingly unaccountable.
Thus, going back toward the road, after reviewing his great plans for the future, he spoke aloud: "I believe it's going to be a good game." When he became hungry he thought with relief that he would not be compelled to seek one of those "hurry-up" lunch places with its clamour and crowd. What was the use of all that noise and crowding and piggish hurry?
One of the Cows said he had such a bad temper that the farmer sent him away, and it is certain that none of them had seen him since the day he was driven down the lane. While they were thinking of this and feeling rather sad, the wagon turned into their lane and they could plainly see the Pig inside. She was white and quite beautiful in her piggish way.
But, in his piggish way, Messer Simone had a kind of knowledge of men. He that was all ungenerous and bestial he, this most unknightly giant he could realize, strangely enough, what a generous and uplifted nature might do on certain occasions when the trumpets of the spirit were loudly blowing.
Here we have got many leagues away from Lohengrin, with its scene between a man and a jealous, ungenerous, querulous woman, and TANNHÄUSER, with its contest between an impossible platonic affection and piggish lust. There is not a touch of staginess about Isolda; she was not born in the green-room.
His hatchet face with its piggish eyes, his thin, cruel lips, his square jaw, are all murderous, and, indeed, I cannot help thinking that he will commit a murder some day. When he is in his affable mood he is very loathsome, but I cannot afford to loathe anyone, and we smile and smile, though we dislike each other, and though the Ramper hardly knows what to make of me.
"How I abhor such things," said Bess; "the arrogant symbols of power." "They disgrace human nature," said I. "They shame the generous landscape," she said, "and they are abominable." "Piggish!" quoth I, hotly. "Down with them!" We looked forward to the coming of the poppies, did Bess and I, looked forward as only creatures of the city may look who have been long denied.
