It is the result of a disposition of the blood resembling putrescence, in which there occurs an external ebullition in the efforts of nature to purify the interior of the body and to expel to the surface the virulent material within.

So that that most stenchable thing they had already concocted of fish-oil, putrescence, sewer-gas, and sunlight, when commingled and multiplied with the dried-up powder of a castor, was intensified into a rich, rancid, gas-exhaling hell-broth as rapturously bewitching to our furry brothers as it is poisonously nauseating to ourselves seductive afar like the sweetest music, inexorable as fate, insidious as laughing-gas, soothing and numbing as absinthe this, the lure and caution-luller, is the fellest trick in all the trappers' code.

She had quite decided that she would get to know the living bronze through Garstin, who always managed to know anyone he was interested in.
