"Not so, please your wisdom and valiancie he, he, he!" said Dwining with his usual chuckle, as he unscrewed the top of the pen, within which was a piece of sponge or some such substance, no bigger than a pea. "Now, mark this " said the prisoner, and drew it between his lips. The effect was instantaneous. He lay a dead corpse before them, the contemptuous sneer still on his countenance.
The garment was rent and slashed, and under the left sleeve was a small, blood-stained hole where one of Brandt's blows had fallen. "Hullo, what's this?" muttered the sailor, feeling in the pocket of the jacket. "Blast my timbers, hooray!"

You don't believe in the water test? Oh! that's rot. You'll believe in it when you see it. You're learning it now. There! Now I've got it in the pail; see all these blooming little bubbles jostling up in a row. There's a leak at the valve. No, there isn't. It's only unscrewed.

Peter knew Livio to have the right on his side, because the banker had an unpleasant face and Livio accused him of being not only a Venetian but a Freemason.

He had unscrewed the head of each of his "wax figgers," and sent each on board in a carpet-bag, labelled "For England," just as Mr Lincoln was assassinated. He was hastening to England when the news came a few weeks ago that he had been blown up in an oil well! He has been on his way to England in every newspaper of the American Union for the last two years.
How will you ever get everything you have unscrewed into its proper place again?" Neither mother nor we knew what to call the thing which father took out from the glass holder.

You've come unscrewed." "Oh, yes?" "Me in love with Angela? Ha-ha!" "You can't get out of it with ha-ha's. She called you 'darling'." "I know. And I disapproved. This habit of the younger g. of scattering 'darlings' about like birdseed is one that I deprecate. Lax, is how I should describe it." "You tickled her ankles." "In a purely cousinly spirit.
