The venomous clamor of a jealous woman is a more deadly poison than a mad dog's tooth. It seems his sleep was hindered by your railing; no wonder that his head is light; and his meat was sauced with your upbraidings; unquiet meals make ill digestions, and that has thrown him into this fever.
There will be no more pitted faces among the Satpuras, and so ye can ask many cows for each maid to be wed." And so on and so on quick-poured showman's patter, sauced in the Bhil hunting-proverbs and tales of their own brand of coarse humour till the lancets were blunted and both operators worn out.

I will serve up to you no praises of her sauced with lies. And I scorn to fall back on the stock-in-trade of the poets, all their silly metaphors and similes and suchlike nonsense.
And my proud lady, who sauced her charities with the taunts she thought I heard not she was justly paid by the passing her dearest and most secret concerns into the hands of her mortal enemy; and the vain Earl yet he was a thing as insignificant as the plume that nodded in his cap; and the maidens and ladies who taunted me I had, or can easily have, my revenge upon them.
Ah, no!" cried Colonel Musgrave, warming to his subject and regarding it, too, very intently; "ah, no, a face that could be patched together at the nearest florist's would not haunt a man's dreams o'nights, as hers does!
