"I am your debtor for your reflections upon whetting glasses; but ale, sir, is a beverage I don't affect, nor shall while there are vines in France." "Ah!" sighed Mr. Green rapturously.

All this preparation, all the preliminaries, the whetting of appetites to razor edge, the tilts with fortune, the defiance of fate, the moil and toil and tribulations of months all brought to a head, focused on this minute and a half. All, all for one minute and a half! It had been a clean break from the barrier. But in a flash Emetic was away first, hugging the rail.

"I am an old Turk," he replied, drawing the flat blade of his knife between his teeth, thereby producing a whetting, grating sound. "Let him alone, let him alone, men," said Jack Chase. "Only keep off the tail of a rattlesnake, and he'll not rattle." "Look out he don't bite, though," said Priming, snapping his teeth; and with that he rolled off, growling as he went.
Cianna seeing this, and not knowing what to do, left the room, contrary to the command of her brothers, and going into the ogre's chamber begged him for a little light. Then the ogre, hearing a woman's voice, said, "Welcome, madam! wait awhile, you have found what you are seeking."
