And I think I will be more careful with you in the future. For a man, you are rather sharp." And she looked at him doubtfully.
'And then there's the Butterfly, Alice went on, after she had taken a good look at the insect with its head on fire, and had thought to herself, 'I wonder if that's the reason insects are so fond of flying into candles because they want to turn into Snap-dragon-flies! Its wings are thin slices of Bread-and-butter, its body is a crust, and its head is a lump of sugar.
Some not ungenerous but perhaps rather unnecessary indignation has been spent upon his "drudgery" and its scanty rewards. It is enough to say that few men can arrange at their pleasure the quantity and quality of their work, and that not every man, even of genius, has had his bread-and-butter secured for life at eight-and-twenty.
It was coals. During this speech there were four of us who knew not where to turn our agitated glances. Some of us tried bread-and-butter, but it seemed dry and difficult, and those who tried tea choked and spluttered and were sorry they had not let it alone. When the speech stopped Alice said, 'It was us. And with deepest feelings she and the rest of us told all about it.
I've an idea I can write better when I don't have to stand the bread-and-butter strain of routine." "Goin' to write second-hand stuff?" asked Lund. "Why don't you live what you write?

Mr. Wrenn's gaze ran down the line of her bosom again, and he wondered at her hands, which touched the heavy bread-and-butter knife as though it were a fine-point pen.
It seems to require a surgical operation to get the fact through our thick heads, that our school system demands radical reform from top to bottom to the end that hands as well as heads may receive technical bread-and-butter, practical education.
And he walked off with a little silver basket-dish containing brown bread-and-butter. Elaine laughed quietly. "It's so like Comus," she said, "to go off with our one dish of bread-and-butter." Youghal chuckled responsively.
It may be imagined, therefore, with what wolfish eyes I watched the boys consuming the piles of bread-and-butter which the old woman distributed, after serving out the allotted allowance of tea in each pupil's mug!
She munched her bread-and-butter and drank her tea. 'When you've done breakfast, Liza, she said, 'you can give the grate a cleanin', an' my boots'd do with a bit of polishin'. Mrs. Tike, in the next 'ouse, 'll give yer some blackin'. She remained silent for a bit, then said: 'I don't think I shall get up ter-day. Liza. My rheumatics is bad. You can put the room straight and cook the dinner.
