Pork-packing was his trade back east." Laban added: "Boys, I hope ye like that ham. I've a reason for asking." We assured our host that the ham was superlatively good. Mince and pumpkin pies followed, coffee, then grace. As we rose from the table, Laban said pleasantly, "Boys, here are some imported cigars. We'll smoke outside."

'Ah, but if you meddle with politics, you must submit to be held up on the prongs of a fork, my boy; soaped by your backers and shaved by the foe; and there's a figure for a gentleman! as your uncle Romfrey says. Cecilia did not join this discussion, though she had heard from her father that something grotesque had been written of Nevil. Her foolishness in blushing vexed body and mind.
It was rather crowded. I marvelled that nobody was using the shower-baths. I soaped myself, stood beneath the big iron water-pipe and waited, but there was no response.

Look sharp, dodge all warships, and attend to that brat of a boy. I have soft soaped him by giving him a letter to you which you will interpret by this. Your Cousin, Theodore Shard.
Perhaps Wall Street had tricked Spike into tricking Wilbur Cowan. Anyway, Spike was determined. Their decision was made one day after a brisk six rounds of mimic battle. They soaped and bathed and dried their bodies. Then they rested sitting upon up-ended beer kegs in the storeroom of Pegleg McCarron and talked a little of life.
The girl, sharp-witted and prompt, came and placed the basin for the duke as she had done for Don Quixote, and they soon had him well soaped and washed, and having wiped him dry they made their obeisance and retired.

Leander apologized on the ground of business of a pressing nature, but the customer was not pacified. "Business, sir! your business is here: I'm your business!
Before the train got in, to save time, a rope had been rigged for Santa Fé over the cross-bar of the usual telegraph-pole and Cherry, who knowed how to manage better'n most, had seen to it the rope was well soaped so as to run smooth.
