"You see, until one has broken one's neck, the excitement of the thing isn't totally worn out; can't be, naturally, because the what-do-you-call-it? consummation isn't attained till then. The worst of it is, it's getting commonplace, getting vulgar; such a number break their necks, doing Alps and that sort of thing, that we shall have nothing at all left to ourselves soon."
I am pursuing a task of the utmost consequence to your family interests, Mr. Cavendish had told him one day. 'In fact, my dear sir, I am engaged in a work of no less moment than that of reconstructing your family tree.

She hugged the thought to her heart, finding in it her truest comfort. The laughter lasted several minutes, and broke out intermittently from time to time as that eloquent cough recurred to memory, but after all it was Mellicent who was the one to give the best suggestion. "Well then, a a what-do-you-call-it!" she cried. "A thing-um-me-bob! One of those three-legged things for taking photographs!
"We're going to set that that what-do-you-call-it of your'n," replied the captain cheerfully. The name that Marcy had given to the bone of his upper arm was too much for Mm. He could not remember it. The boy knew that all sea captains have more or less knowledge of medicine and surgery.

How do you explain her unwillingness to give us any information? Let us admit that these are trifles. Very well! All right! But remember their relations. She detested her brother.
"Now," he said, with a tender smile, "you're positively in business, according to your heart's desire. You're on the inside, all ready to fight the what-do-you-call-it." But a new thought had changed the mood of the impulsive bride. Of a sudden, she sobered, and her eyes widened in fear.
"Here, take it, Uncle Jeff," she said; "I declare I'm almost afraid to handle these valuable things for fear I should suddenly become a klep- what-do-you-call-it?" "Kleptomaniac?" said her uncle, laughing, "I'm not afraid, or I shouldn't have brought you girls up here. I don't mind admitting I have one friend, a wise old octogenarian, rich as Croesus, whom I wouldn't trust up here alone!

"If I hadn't known him since he was so high, I'd wish he had the what-do-you-call-it seizures instead of the other man." "But Quisanté's not going, he means to hold on," said Constantine. "I'm glad of it. Henstead's very shaky. But we shall hold Marchmont's seat all right.
They both looked inquiringly at Count Victor. "I regret the what-do-you-call-it? the stoved howtowdy," said he, laughing, "more for the sound of it than for any sense its name conveys to me." "There's meat as weel as music in it, as the fox said when he ate the bagpipes," said Mungo. "There's waur nor howtowdy. And oh! I forgot the het victual, there's jugged hare."
"Fatherhood," Oliver said, setting the record straight and sipping his pint. "Jesus, Oliver . . . I've been making sculptures; you've been making the real thing."
