The nine Armenians who had entered were evidently influential men. Elders was the word that occurred as best describing them. They were smelly with rain and smoke and the close-kept sweat beneath their leather coats all of them bearded nearly all big men and they strode and stood with the air of being usually heard when they chose to voice opinion.
"Martha James," said he, "was sitting not far from Miss Kent. The corner was rather dark " "The whole church is badly lighted," interrupted Mrs. Parry. "I never could bear smelly kerosene lamps." "The corner was dark," resumed Steel patiently, "and Martha, as she says, having a headache, was rather inattentive to the sermon.
The next morning she put on her blue dress and ribbon and in those she was a picture. Mrs. Comstock caught her breath with a queer stirring around her heart, and looked twice to be sure of what she saw. As Elnora gathered her books her mother silently gave her the lunch box. "Feels heavy," said Elnora gaily. "And smelly! Like as not I'll be called upon to divide again."
Oh, and the poor wounded the poor, smelly, dirty wounded, whom one sees all day, and for whom one just sticks this out. I have only twice been for a drive out here, and I have not seen a single place of interest, nor, indeed, a single interesting person connected with the war. That, I suppose, is the result of being a "cuisinière!"
"Because," said Ralph, concisely, "if she hadn't been, I'd break her neck." "You couldn't," whispered Araminta, softly, "you're too kind. You wouldn't hurt anybody." "Not unless I had to.

He had seen that we were gone and hurried after us. "Won't ye stay down an' see some more, gintlemen?" he asked. "Or have ye had enough of the air? It seems very smelly to me this mornin' I don't blame ye.
We were bringing the cynicism of youth to bear on the trustfulness of a mature mercenary when the train arrived at Amiens. Some washed. Some meditated on a train of French wounded and another train of Belgian refugees, humble and pitiful objects, very smelly. Two, not waiting for orders, rushed to the buffet and bought beer and sardines and chocolate and bread.
I'll get a mouse-trap in a minute, And bait with cheese that's smelly To bring him helter-skelly That little empty belly, And then I'll have him in it. Where have he hid, That little kid, That good old Jacob was so kind to? And when a rest I am inclined to Who'll boil the cow and dig the kittles And milk the stockings, darn the wittles? Who mugs of tea Will drink with me?
"Ah, but this mouse had a poetic licence." "Look it up." "I will." The book was taken from within two inches of where he sat. "'Shrieked' it is."
