If you can produce coal to cook five thousand dinners a day, you are five thousand times more important than if you cooked only your own dinner. 'I suppose I am, laughed Gerald. 'Can't you see, said Birkin, 'that to help my neighbour to eat is no more than eating myself. "I eat, thou eatest, he eats, we eat, you eat, they eat" and what then? Why should every man decline the whole verb.
'And bid him go to Hell, to Hell he goes. I had mentioned to him a slight fault in his noble Imitation of the Tenth Satire of Juvenal, a too near recurrence of the verb spread, in his description of the young Enthusiast at College:
"The chief difficulty, Belle," said I, "that I find in teaching you the Armenian grammar proceeds from your applying to yourself and me every example I give." "I can't bear this much longer," said Belle. "Keep yourself quiet," said I. "We will skip hntal and proceed to the second conjugation. Belle, I will now select for you to conjugate the prettiest verb in Armenian the verb siriel.
I shall have left in the passing scarce a finger mark in the dust of time." "Ah, Sire, if only you would be cold, unfriendly, avaricious. Be stone and rule with a rod of iron. Make the people fear you, since they refuse to love you; be stone." "You can mold lead, but you can not sculpture it; and I am lead." "Yes; not only the metal, but the verb intransitive.

But they all die, sacrificed to the insatiable fate of Buncle. Here the reader may like to enjoy a sample of Buncle as a philosopher.
Chintz is another example, being the Hindustani word "cheent," which means a spotted cotton cloth.
