For instance, I have a friend to whom I am bound by the tie of oneness because we dislike olives, and have a mutual indifference to the pretended claims of the unpronounceable Pole who wrote "Quo Vadis." The discovery was accidentally made in a hotel dining-room: we clasped hands across the board, and since then have been as brothers.
"We poked about in the rain in search of a San Giorgio on the wall of a house, who was described as 'vigorous in disciplined career of accustomed conquest. We found the right bridge, with an unpronounceable name, and we turned and looked back, just as we were bid, and never a San Giorgio did we find. Imagine our disappointment when a shop-keeper told us that San Giorgio was partito!"
Then two Swedes with unpronounceable names who, by their embellishments, informed the world that they hailed respectively from Göteborg and Helsingborg.
Then came the lady-in-waiting, Madame de Sauve, the wife of the state secretary in attendance on Charles, and a triumphant, coquettish beauty, than a fat, good-humoured Austrian dame, always called Madame la Comtesse, because her German name was unpronounceable, and without whom the Queen never stirred, and lastly a little figure, rounded yet slight, slender yet soft and plump, with a kitten-like alertness and grace of motion, as she sprang out, collected the Queen's properties of fan, kerchief, pouncet-box, mantle, &c., and disappeared in to the chateau, without Berenger's being sure of anything but that her little black hat had a rose-coloured feather in it.
She is wide awake now, she sits up in bed, and gives you a kiss, ah! this time, a real good one! "You are a dear boy!" is her first word. We will not mention her last, for it is an enormous and unpronounceable onomatope. "Now," she says, "tell me all about it." You try to explain the nature of the affair.
MacLeod hung up and straightened, feeling under his packet for his .38-special. "That's it, boys," he said. "Lowiewski. Come on." "Hah!" Alex Unpronounceable had his gun out and was checking the cylinder. He spoke briefly in description of the Polish mathematician's ancestry, physical characteristics, and probable post-mortem destination.
"It's the great sea-serpent at last," said Benjy, with something like awe on his countenance. "It does look uncommon like it," replied the Captain, with a perplexed expression on his rugged visage. "Get out the rifles, lad! It's as well to be ready. D'ye know what it is, Chingatok?" Again the giant uttered the unpronounceable name, while Benjy got out the fire-arms with eager haste.
I forget his unpronounceable name. They will reside in Berlin, I understand, should the marriage be 'unfait accompli, as the French have it. Is not that right, Miriam?" "Oh, admirably pronounced! You are becoming quite a Gaul in your old age." "I hope I shall never become gall and wormwood, in any event, like some old folks. Now, is not that being literal, Miriam?" "And witty, as well!
The second name was an unpronounceable Greek one. Being thirsty Brimmer stepped inside. "Are you Tony?" he asked of the swarthy young man behind the counter. "Yes, sare," grinned Tony. "What you drink?" Brimmer looked over the stock, selected a bottle of ginger ale and paid for it. "Business good?" asked the midshipman. "No, sare; ver' bad," replied Tony sadly.
With hundreds of restaurants to select from, each specializing on some particular dish, or some peculiar mode of preparation, one often becomes bewildered and turns to familiar names on the menu card rather than venture into fields that are new, of strange and rare dishes whose unpronounceable names of themselves frequently are sufficient to discourage those unaccustomed to the art and science of cooking practiced by those whose lives have been spent devising means of tickling fastidious palates of a city of gourmets.
