Camphor if smell'd A man will geld. This fatal property, however, has been denied by modern medical authorities, and apparently with reason, if the fact be true that such workmen as are employed in extracting this useful vegetable product, and who may be said to live constantly in a highly camphorated atmosphere, do not find themselves in the leash degree incapacitated for gratifying the calls of l'amour physique.
Malcolm felt as averse as did the French princesses to burgher wealth and splendour, and his mind had not opened to understand burgher worth and weight; and when he saw the princes John and Humfrey, and even his own king, seeking out city dames and accosting them with friendly looks, it seemed to him a degrading truckling to riches, from which he was anxious to save his future queen; but when he would have offered his arm to Lady Joan, he saw her already being led away by an alderman measuring at least a yard across the shoulders; and the good-natured Earl of March, seeing him at a loss, presented him to a round merry wife in a scarlet petticoat and black boddice, its plump curves wreathed with geld chains, who began pitying him for having been sent to the wars so young, being, as usual, charmed into pity by his soft appealing eyes and unconscious grace; would not believe his assertions that he was neither a captive nor a Frenchman; 'don't tell her, when he spoke like a stranger, and halted from a wound.
I have always entreated you not to abandon the work, and am delighted by the perfection of your poetic workmanship. Almost every day the Princess greets me with the words "Nicht Gut, nicht Geld, noch gottliche Pracht; Nicht Haus, nicht Hof, noch herrischer Prunk; Nicht truber Vertrage trugender Bund, Noch heuchelnder Sitte hartes Gesetz: Selig in Lust und Leid, lasst die Liebe nur sein!"
Slowly he descended. "Where have they gone?" asked Swithin painfully. "A pound for every English word you speak. A pound!" and he made an O with his fingers. The corners of the shoemaker's lips curled. "Geld! Mf! Eilen Sie, nur!" But in Swithin a sullen anger had begun to burn. "If you don't tell me," he said, "it'll be the worse for you." "Sind ein komischer Kerl!" remarked the shoemaker.
They were letting in the water for the evening stint at Robert's Mill, and the wooden Wheel where lived the Spirit of the Mill settled to its nine hundred year old song: "Here Azor, a freeman, held one rod, but it never paid geld. Nun-nun-nunquam geldavit.
In like manner do you treat all that is of a monstrous nature when it is looked on; nor is it lawful to geld men or any other animals. Let this be the constitution of your political laws in time of peace, and God will be so merciful as to preserve this excellent settlement free from disturbance: and may that time never come which may innovate any thing, and change it for the contrary.

His Majesty the Kaiser will then graciously change the "no-account" words on our family's escutcheon to the joyful motto, "Mit Geld," and lift the blighting curse from our noble house."
"Donner und blitz!" exclaimed Herr Schlager, when he realized that the wet and sandy bag on the counter before him contained money, for he was too familiar with the chink of gold to mistake the sound. "Was haben sie, hier, Leopold?" "Money, gold, specie, coin, geld," replied the boatman, hardly less excited than his Teutonic uncle. "So mooch golt!
The woman took it, and was then possessed of five dollar Banco, for which I could get no further exchange than the two Rix Geld before mentioned, neither would she return my money.

"In the very end you will give in, as though unwillingly, as though against your will, as though from infatuation, a momentary caprice, and which is the main thing as though on the sly from me. You understand? For this the fools pay enormous money. However, it seems I will not have to teach you."
