He said that it would draw bigger crowds in a cultured city like St. Louis than would come to see a two-headed calf or a fat women's race, being a course of readings that would instruct, entertain and please, and he asked me to name my own price." "I should call him a fool," said Skinner scornfully. "He wasn't," said Eliph'. "It took splendid. But I wouldn't let him pay me a cent.
The oxen were guarded by the giant Eurytion and his two-headed dog, but Hercules killed the giant and his dog and brought away the oxen in safety to Eurystheus. The most difficult labor of all was bringing the golden apples of the Hesperides, for Hercules did not know where to find them.
It's cock-a-doodle-do, I've cotched a husband, cock-a-doodle-doo, wi' 'em. I've no patience wi' such like; I beg, Sylvie, thou'lt not get too thick wi' Molly.

"Now, by two-headed Janus, Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time; Some that will ever more peep through their eyes, And laugh like parrots at a bagpiper; And others of such vinegar aspect, That they'll not show their teeth in way of smile, Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable." The next forenoon Nicholas and his son left the inn in good time to keep their appointment.

We might leave it at that and say no more about it. She'd be sure to understand in time." "The agreement was, last night," insisted 'Bias with great firmness, "to put it to her straight and get it over."
He half believed in curses, had seen two-headed calves born because of them, and sheep stampeded over cliffs for no other reason. Now, as he drew out of Pacheco Pass and came down into the valley the idea of Rubia and her curse troubled him.

"But I may depend upon you" anxiously "you will do what you can for me?" "I shall do what I can for her." "Now, by a two-headed Janus, Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time." Hardinge is hardly gone before another a far heavier step sounds in the passage outside the professor's door. It is followed by a knock, almost insolent in its loudness and sharpness.
At Hallae is a two-headed mouse; the Conant Museum in Maine contains the skeleton of an adult sheep with two heads; there was an account of a two-headed pigeon published in France in 1734; Leidy found a two-headed snake in a field near Philadelphia; Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Conant both found similar creatures, and there is one in the Museum at Harvard; Wyman saw a living double-headed snake in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris in 1853, and many parallel instances are on record.
