George coming. I must not forget to tell you that I saw Joseph this morning at a distance; he was standing in the lea of the pigstye, and cogitating in the real moony style." "It was about his outfit," exclaimed John; "depend upon it it was not about Laura."
"Ah, well, it won't last long, poor gentleman!" the worthy lady said to herself, in allusion to Sir John's uninvaded sanctum; "let him enjoy his pigstye while he can. When his wife comes she will soon have the place swept clean out for him."
In all probability he had suffered from his rupture with the woman whom he had once called 'the Queen of the Anarchists, and whose fortune and extensive circle of acquaintance had seemed to him such powerful weapons of propaganda. "You know," said he, when he had calmed down, "it was the police who had her house pillaged and turned into a pigstye.

Do you, my brother, live for the far-off; and seek not for the immediate issues and fruits that the world can give, but be contented to be of those whose toil waits for eternity to disclose its significance. Better a half-finished temple than a finished pigstye or huckster's shop.
Phoebe's room also had no fireplace, and great patches of plaster had been brought down by the rain on the south-west side. Just underneath the window was the pigstye. Outside nothing had been done to the house for years. It was not brick built, and here and there the laths and timber were bare, and the thatch had almost gone.
'I can't go to you in such a pigstye as that, he said; 'you must come to me. What's your name? 'Alban Morris; what's yours? 'Jervis Redwood. Pack up your traps when you've done your job, and come and try my kennel. There it is, in a corner of your drawing, and devilish like, too. I packed up my traps, and I tried his kennel. And now you have had enough of Sir Jervis Redwood."
I can't look at anything, from a pigstye to a cathedral, or listen to anything, from a bird singing to an orchestra, or read anything, from Bradshaw to Shakespeare, without seeing when it is out of shape and how it ought to be done. I'm like the man in Ezekiel, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed.
Ocock, you need a woman about your place, to make it a bit more homelike," said Mahony, calling to mind the pigstye in which Ocock and his sons housed. "Course I do!" agreed Ocock. "And Melia, she'll come out to 'er daddy soon as ever th'ol' woman kicks the bucket. Drat 'er! It's 'er I've got to thank for all the mischief." "Well, well!" said Mahony, and rising knocked out his pipe on the log.
After a moment's silence he began again, his voice sinking lower and lower as he spoke: "Well, I tramped, and tramped, till I was nearly mad with tramping, and nothing came of it. I got down into Ecuador, and there it was worse than ever. Sometimes I'd get a bit of tinkering to do, I'm a pretty fair tinker, or an errand to run, or a pigstye to clean out; sometimes I did oh, I hardly know what.
