Yes, that was a first-class sponger. Can you give me any more? Si. Why, Tychiades, what else was Patroclus's relation to Achilles? and he was as fine a fellow, all round, as any Greek of them all. Judging by his actions, I cannot make out that he was inferior to Achilles himself.
The sponger, hit in the head, fell beside him. Both died quietly. The Indian, staring for a few moments, snatched up the sponge, but Henry had reloaded swiftly, and a third shot struck him down. There was consternation on the flatboat.
But I am always seeing philosophers, though there is nothing to be afraid of, carrying bows and arrows; as for their sticks, they take them to bath or breakfast with them. Again, no one can accuse a sponger of adultery, violence, rape, or in fact of any crime whatsoever. One guilty of such offences will not be sponging, but ruining himself.
The very name his conduct has earned him calls no blush to his cheek. But their susceptibilities are by no means limited to these; pain, temper, jealousy, and all sorts of desires, must be added; all of which the sponger is beyond the reach of; he does not yield to temper because on the one hand he has fortitude, and on the other hand he has no one to irritate him.
The cannoneers swarmed around it, there was a quick movement of a sponger, an order, a falling into place of rigid artillerymen, then bang! and another up-rush of smoke. And now the other cannon joined in crash! bang! and the garden swam in the swirling fog.
The sponger being as yet far enough away to give the rats time to reach their home, one of them lay upon his back and took the egg safely between his arms whilst the other, in spite of sundry shocks and a few slips, dragged him home by the tail. After this recital, let any one who dare maintain that animals have no powers of reason.
The gunner was placed upon the table, and at once took its stand by the gun, and, in an attitude of attention, waited for orders from its native master. The word of command was given, and the parrot instantly seized the sponger in its beak, and inserting it within the muzzle without the slightest difficulty, vigorously moved it backwards and forwards, and then replaced it in its former position.
It is not for ten Ajaxes or Achilleses that he prays; no, Troy would have been taken long ago, if he had had in his host ten men like that old sponger. Idomeneus, of Zeus's own kindred, is also represented in the same relation to Agamemnon. Tyc. I know the passages; but I do not feel sure of the sense in which they were spongers. Si. Well, recall the lines in which Agamemnon addresses Idomeneus.
"That's rather strong," remarked Parry. "Don't you like it?" Ellis inquired. "I think I might like it if I were drunk." "Ah, but a poet, you see, is always drunk!" 'Well, I unfortunately, am often sober; and then I find the sponger and the venerealee anything but agreeable objects."
One day Mark and Ruth rowed out among the vessels of the sponging fleet that had just come in from up the coast. Here they scraped acquaintance with a weather-beaten old sponger, who sat in the stern of one of the smallest of the boats, smoking a short pipe and overhauling some rigging; and from him they gained much new information concerning sponges.
