What the profoundest magical art, the utmost daring of the philosopher fighting for his very existence, could not accomplish, your verses achieved, passing into the frame of the deceitful Daucus Carota like the deadliest poison, so that he must have perished of stomach-ache, in spite of his gnomish nature, if he had not made off into his kingdom.
Send him back again? yes, that's best: but the child woke every morning at five o'clock with its squalling obliged to kiss it three times a-day pleasant! and then that nigger of a nurse thick lips kissing child all day, and then holding it out to me ignorant as a cow if child has the stomach-ache she'll cram a pepper-pod down its throat West India fashion children never without the stomach-ache! my poor, poor cousin! what has become of her and the other child, too? wish they may pick her up, poor dear! and then she will come and take care of her own children don't know what to do great mind to send for sister Moggy but she's so fussy won't be in a hurry.
To illustrate: the story of the woman who described the suddenness of the American cyclone by saying that, as she looked up from her gardening, "she saw the air black with her intimate friends," seems to me a thoroughly humorous application of the exaggeration principle. So, too, is the description of a man so terribly thin that he never could tell whether he had the stomach-ache or the lumbago.
"Here's the toothache face!" he announced. "And here's the stomach-ache face!" Then the bell rang, and they heard the vibrant whistle of the station-master. "Here, give me the boy!" cried Zureda. He wanted to kiss him good-by. The little fellow stretched out his tiny arms to his father. "Take me! Take me, papa!" he entreated with a lisping tongue, his words full of love and charm. Poor Zureda!
In spite of his smarting nose he was a happy bear, and at the end of his first day he felt very brave and very fearless, though he was but nine weeks old. He had come into the world, he had looked upon many things, and if he had not conquered he at least had gone gloriously through the day. That night Neewa had a hard attack of Mistu-puyew, or stomach-ache.
On the whole they felt cheerful enough, and showed it: but they had to own, first, that the Parson's votes were almost as bad as lost, whereas the amount of gains couldn't be reckoned with certainty: and second, that, resting as they did upon a confusion between religious feeling and the stomach-ache, 'twas important that Lord William should recover by next morning, show himself about the town and at the hustings, and clinch the mistake.
If any visitor who knew anything at all of archery should see that the member who wore the champion's badge was a man who held his bow as if he had the stomach-ache, it would ruin our character as a club. It was not to be borne. Pepton in particular felt greatly outraged.
So he stood up and raised his hand, and said to the schoolma'am, "Please, ma'am, I 've got the stomach-ache; may I go home?" For a moment John was delighted to get out of school so early; but soon his guilt took all the light out of the summer sky and the pleasantness out of nature. He had to walk slowly, without a single hop or jump, as became a diseased boy.
Carl swore to himself: "Ben 's the only guy I know that's got any delicate feelings. He appreciates how Gertie feels when she's sick, poor girl. He don't make a goat of himself, like Joe.... Or maybe he's got a stomach-ache." "Post-office!" cried Howard Griffin to the room at large. "Come on! We're all of us going to be kids again, and play post-office. Who's the first girl wants to be kissed?"
Supposing a man had a headache, what should he take for it? or a leg ache, or a stomach-ache, or itch; in fact, going the rounds of every disease he knew, until, exhausting the ordinary complaints, he went into particulars in which he was personally much interested; but I was unfortunately unable to prescribe medicines which produce the physical phenomenon next to his heart. 17th.
