"And did the man die?" Mrs. Brinn asked, with a sort of soft awe. "Mercy! I declare I forgot to ask him if the man died or not," exclaimed Mrs. Keene.
Leathersham owes me a small fortune for his cook's ptomaine cases she's always getting poisoned with her imported canned things but Goldie's slow pay, and too, I want to make a few improvements on the place. I'm thinking of bringing over a Moorish Courtyard intact nice, eh?" "What's it good for?" demanded Warble.
But facts are important to the careful thinker only as they are significant of truth. Doubtless an omniscient mind would realize a reason for every accidental and apparently insignificant occurrence of actual life.

There are restaurants which specialize in ptomaine and restaurants which specialize in sinister vegetable messes. But there is only one Simpson's. Simpson's, in the Strand, is unique.

I remember once Mary's aunt or was it Cook's aunt one of them any way nearly died of eating tinned lobster ptomaine poisoning. I've always told Leonard not to touch it.
And yet Harrington is a man of exceptional intelligence. He would agree with me that infection from book-dust is not an ignoble form of death. I sit there and plot obituaries. "Mr. H. Wellington Jones," says the Evening Star, "died yesterday afternoon from ptomaine poisoning, after a very brief illness.
Does Bill love you?" "Not adequately." "H'm. You love him?" "Oh, yeth!" "All right love and grow thin, and then he'll come round. Or get a case of ptomaine poisoning that'd help. But don't take the matter too lightly. If you want your husband, get him, if you don't, then let him go. "I've just let mine go.
