"Whom do you blight?" I asked. "Whom?" he cried angrily, and turned a suspicious eye on me. "The Hanover rat, George!... And the blight works oh, it works, and the brain rots in his head and the maggots gnaw at his heart. And they wonder why!... an effectual fervent curse! Oh, it works! For years and years I've cursed him night and day and you see! Keep him in the dark, they said.
The point is, Arsdale, the point is, that all by himself a man is n't worth much. He does n't count. Either he dries up or he rots." "That's true! That's true!" answered Arsdale. "And I 've rotted. If only I had found you a year ago!" "A year ago is dead and buried. Let it alone. Think of the live things; think of the Now!
Sirocco, now and again, blows furiously at his back, but never splits the sheeting. Rain often soaks it, never rots it. There is no help for him. He stands a mock to the pious, a shame and incubus to the emancipated; received, yet hushed up; exalted, yet made a fool of; taken and left; a monument to Fate's malice.

Tell them," he said, rising to his full height, "that while the carcass of the English cur rots in a foreign land, Rama Ragobah's bones lie mingled with those of his beautiful Lona!" My blood was up, and I rushed fiercely at him.
She never stirs from one year's end to the other, the old witch; she quite rots in the place, her legs have always got something the matter with them, and now all on a sudden she goes gallivanting about!" "Suppose we question the porter?" "What for?" "To find out where she's gone and when she will be back." "Hum! the deuce! question! but she never goes anywhere."
It creates lobbies and controls legislatures. It corrupts the government of great cities and rots out the social life of small towns.
It is sometimes found on Easter morning that the eggs have been kept too long. The boy's intentions were good enough, but the enterprise had been too protracted, and the casting out of the dozen was sudden and precipitate. Indeed, that is the trouble with some older boys I wot of. They keep their money, or their brain, or their influence hidden till it rots.
