"'But, though it be infinite, it is not the absolute infinite, for it contains only one kind of perfection, and the Absolute contains all." They frequently stopped to think it out the better. Pécuchet took pinches of snuff, and Bouvard's face glowed with concentrated attention. "Does this amuse you?" "Yes, undoubtedly. Go on forever."
When he came into the estates, they had been mortgaged three deep by the last peer, my grandfather an old guy in a velvet skull-cap, I remember, who took snuff incessantly and my uncle, on his part, had mortgaged them three deep again, which made six. How Carrick manages to live nobody knows.
Also, he spent a lot of time down on the crick flat looking for a mu, which is the same as a sneeze-duck, except for the parallel stripes. It has but one foot webbed; so it swims in a circle and can be easy shot by the sportsman, who first baits it with snuff that it will go miles to get.
"There is something very comfortable in sacred verses, Master Bunting; but you're a scoffer." "Psha, man!" said the Corporal, throwing out his right leg and leaning back, with his eyes half-shut, and his chin protruded, as he took an unusually long inhalation from his pipe; "Psha, man! send verses to the right-about fit for girls going to school of a Sunday; full-grown men more up to snuff.
I don't think he perceived it at first, but as soon he did snuff the fact, which happened when he had gone perhaps three rods, he quietly turned around and headed the other way, paying no more attention to my reins or my terrific "whoas!" than if I were a sleeping babe. A horse is none of your woman's-rights men. He is Pauline. He suffers not the woman to usurp authority over him.
He daintily took a pinch of snuff, cleared his throat two or three times, as if he were about to demand a count out of the House; then he heard his daughter's light step, and she came in humming an air from Il Barbiere. "Good-morning, papa. What do you want with me so early?"
He was once examined before a Committee of the House of Commons, and came to be questioned on the subject of his ownership of sheep. "You may have some 1500 sheep, probably, sir?" quoth the interrogating M.P. "Aiblins," was Corrichollie's quiet reply as he took a pinch of snuff; "aiblins I have a few more nor that." "Two thousand, then?"
That was the exercise of the finest sense that hung about us, my brother and me or of one at least but little less fine than the sense for the satisfaction of which we resorted to Thompson's and to Taylor's: it bore me company during all our returns from forages and left me persuaded that I had only to snuff up hard enough, fresh uncut volume in hand, to taste of the very substance of London.
Were it not for the fashion of dress in the park below and some remnant of reason in myself, I could, in a winking moment, persuade myself that my room is a garret and my pen a quill. On such delusion, before I issued on the street to seek my coffee-house, I would adjust my wig and dust myself of snuff.
That's a place where he can go to bed, and get no sleep go to dinner, and have no appetite go to the window, and get no fresh air, but snuff up the perfume of drains, bar-rooms, and cooking ranges suffer from heat, because he can't wear his coat, or from politeness, because he can't take it off or go to the beach, where the sea breeze won't come, it's so far up the country, where the white sand will dazzle, and where there is no shade, because trees won't grow or stand and throw stones into the water, and then jump in arter 'em in despair, and forget the way out.
