Come and fight with me. You shall not be a widow long. Nagaina saw that she had lost her chance of killing Teddy, and the egg lay between Rikki-tikki's paws. 'Give me the egg, Rikki-tikki. Give me the last of my eggs, and I will go away and never come back, she said, lowering her hood. 'Yes, you will go away, and you will never come back; for you will go to the rubbish-heap with Nag.
"The Swedes have incited the Turks against me; they must pay for that." "May be! But why do you write so harshly to the Dutch Government since you like the Dutch?" "Why! Because since the Peace of Utrecht, Holland is on the decline. It is all over with Holland; on to the rubbish-heap with it! I hold on to England, since France is also declining." "Should one abandon one's old friends?..."
With all its faults Rebellion remains gloriously distinct from the rubbish-heap of fiction by virtue of its intense sincerity and its frequent flashes of fine descriptive writing. The question of sex dominates it, and those of us who still think that such problems are merely sustenance for the prurient-minded may cast it impatiently aside.
The news of Nag's death was all over the garden, for the sweeper had thrown the body on the rubbish-heap. "Oh, you stupid tuft of feathers!" said Rikki-tikki angrily. "Is this the time to sing?" "Nag is dead is dead is dead!" sang Darzee. "The valiant Rikki-tikki caught him by the head and held fast. The big man brought the bang-stick, and Nag fell in two pieces!
"A curious god to find, yet in the end faithful; bitter, the Kyprian's feet ah, flecks of withered clay, great hero, vaunted lord ah, petals, dust and windfall on the ground queen awaiting queen." What it all means who can tell? It is as empty of intelligent meaning as a rubbish-heap. Yet these men claim to get their charter from Whitman.
The whole of the vicarage household was in requisition as soon as their reverend master had conceived the happy notion of firing the canonical rubbish-heap in the far corner of the kitchen garden.

When high-velocity shells struck the ground a hundred yards short of the road and a hundred yards beyond it, we all of us dropped unquestioningly into the narrow freshly-dug trench that ran at the foot of the poplars. About five hundred yards on, to the left of the road, we passed a shell-blasted grove that hung above a melancholy rubbish-heap of broken bricks and shattered timber.
Garibaldi throws back his close-cropped gray head. "You need not say who has made them everybody can see that. Suppose now the shoes go to Jutland and are worn there and are thrown on the rubbish-heap.
What did matter was that they should say amusing things, things as flattering as possible to national vanity. Foreigners had to put up with a good deal with the exception of the idol of the hour: for there was always a fashionable idol: Grieg, or Wagner, or Nietzsche, or Gorki, or D'Annunzio. It never lasted long, and the idol was certain one fine morning to be thrown on to the rubbish-heap.
I struck a match, and by the light of it I saw my brother again. "Yes, he was down and out. He had not had a shave for a week, his hat had been picked off a rubbish-heap, his trousers were muddied and torn at the knees, his coat was buttoned up to hide his black, hairy chest. He had no shirt. He was down and out. "I settled in my mind what had happened before I spoke.
