“What Piron?” cried Mitya. “The famous French writer, Piron. We were all drinking then, a big party of us, in a tavern at that very fair.

“No, it’s not funny; you are wrong there. There’s nothing funny in nature, however funny it may seem to man with his prejudices. If dogs could reason and criticize us they’d be sure to find just as much that would be funny to them, if not far more, in the social relations of men, their masters—far more, indeed. I repeat that, because I am convinced that there is far more foolishness among us.
"Get me a spotty calico, white, with a red dot, will you, the next time you’re over to Ervay? Buttons accordin’ to your judgment; but if you could get some white chiny with a red ring, I think they’d match it handsome." She frowned reflectively.

They’d oughter ben here before this. I ’spose she’d gone on further’n she thought she’d go when she stepped out.” “It’s all right,” said the other gentleman, “no harm done, I’m sure.

"Don’t see as how they’d be fool enough to try chewin’ back on their trail again, though," Anse commented. "They need water.

They might just be crazy enough to try here—men have gotten away with tricks such as that before." "Drew."

If I fired the top tubes the ship would drop out from under those who were standing. They’d all end up on the ceiling." Rip watched for a while longer, then wandered back to Commander O’Brine. He was getting anxious.
‘What!’ said Mr. Tulrumble, starting up in the four-wheel chaise. ‘Laughing? If they laugh at a man in real brass armour, they’d laugh when their own fathers were dying.
