Where's the good of stuffing my mind with a string of names which I couldn't mention to any one at home, because I can't pronounce them? Luckily I feel that nobody else will know any more than I do. I'm coming to Egypt for a rest-cure, because I don't have to learn its history. But some lecturers won't let me have a minute's peace.
Ragged fragments torn from the cloud below rose swirling across the opposite mountain top, and between their edges, like a picture in a frame, appeared briefly the roofs of the little station.

"Wah bully me heap wicked," rejoined the Woodpecker, expectorating on a stone and beginning to whet his jack-knife. The keen and suggestive "weet, weet, weet" of the knife on the stone smote on Guy's ears and nerves with appalling effect.

"I am not homesick; I was just thinking how she chased me, and how narrowly I escaped." "It was much as ever," said Teezle, "much as ever that the critter didn't mutton you. She skipped like a painter, and whet up her teeth for a whalin' bite. But don't think on it now. Here, who'll tell a good story, and cheer up Fabens a little?
