It seemed about time I made my entrance, so I coughed, then walked through the door and faced them. "I beg pardon for intruding," I said dryly, "but the fact is that it's almost if not quite bedtime." They got to their feet in some haste, Jerry red as a turkey-cock, the girl, I think, a little pale. "Is it is it Roger?" stammered Jerry.
The Doctor broke into an immoderate fit of laughter and cried: "What! had Pasquarello, after serving him, where, besides wages and food, many a good quattrino fell into his mouth, gone to the very greatest and most accomplished skinflint and miser that ever swallowed macaroni? to the motley Carnival-fool, who strutted about like a turkey-cock after a shower? to that cur, that amorous old coxcomb, who poisons the air in Strada Ripetta with that disgusting goat-bleating which he calls 'singing?" &c., &c.
We see analogous cases under nature, for instance, the tuft of hair on the breast of the turkey-cock, which can hardly be either useful or ornamental to this bird; indeed, had the tuft appeared under domestication, it would have been called a monstrosity. In order to make it clear how, as I believe, natural selection acts, I must beg permission to give one or two imaginary illustrations.

He quickly added: "I get a pain there, too." Swithin reddened, a resemblance to a turkey-cock coming upon his old face. "Exercise!" he said. "I take plenty: I never use the lift at the Club."

"I take a compound...."
Dick now observed that, from the uncertainty of its motions, the turkey-cock was blind, a discovery which caused a throb of compunction to enter his breast for standing and looking on, so he ran forward. The eagle saw him instantly, and tried to fly away, but was unable from exhaustion. "At him, Crusoe," cried Dick, whose sympathies all lay with the other bird.

This atrocious woman who tried to strangle your future wife?" "She has been buried quietly. Her mother was at the funeral and so was the father." "A pretty pair," gobbled the turkey-cock, growing red. "I suppose the Government will hang the pair?" "No.
Also there was the rector of the parish, Dr. Jeffreys and an absurdly young wife whom he had recently married, a fluffy-headed little thing with round eyes and a cheerful, perky manner. The two of them together looked exactly like a turkey-cock and a chicken.
