He dreaded the moment when the backbone of the day should be broken, when he should have met the girl at last, talked to her, and then bowed her laughter out the door, returning only to the melancholy dregs in the teacups and the gathering staleness of the uneaten sandwiches.

It is filthy coming on the place, for there is reek from the river and staleness from the shops ancient whiffs no wise enfeebled by their longevity, Nestors of their race with span of seventy lusty summers. But these smells do not prevail within the chandlery. At first you see nothing but rope.

Instead of which I sit here, day after day, overflowing with my own ridiculous thoughts and the world discharging all its staleness and stupidity like a sewer in these horrible documents.
