I have seen some very amusing stories become very boring in the mouth of one nobleman, everyone present having been sated with them a hundred times.
Pp. 22-23: The apparition of a file of soldiers ringing down the butt-ends of their loaded muskets on our door-step, caused the dinner party to rise from table in confusion, and caused Mrs. Joe, re-entering the kitchen empty-handed to stop short and stare in her wondering lament of "Gracious goodness gracious me, what's gone -- with the -- pie!"
>John had been raised in Bathurst, a larger community two hundred kilometers inland from Sydney, and the family pets included cats, a number of sheepdogs of the kelpie breed and often small kangaroos that had been saved when their mothers had either been shot as vermin or been run over.

Holding a light in one hand, and that identical New Zealand head in the other, the stranger entered the room, and without looking towards the bed, placed his candle a good way off from me on the floor in one corner, and then began working away at the knotted cords of the large bad I before spoke of as being in the room.
"FOR MADMEN ONLY"The day had gone by just as days go by.I had killed it in accordance with my primitive and retiring way of life.I had worked for an hour or two and perused the pages of old booksI had had pains for two hours, as elderly people do.I had taken a powder and been very glad when the pains consented to disappear.Three times the mail had come with undesired letters and circulars to look through. I had done my breathing exercises, but found it convenient today to omit the thought exercises. I had been for an hour's walk and seen the lovliest feathery cloud patterns penciled against the sky. That was very delightful. So was the reading of old books. So was the lying in the warm bath. But, taken all in all, it had not been exactly a day of rapture. No it had not even been a da brightened with happiness and joy.

Two dry mouths bumping at each other, trying to kiss, his self-conscious thoughts twisting around on themselves like a snake on a stick while he bucked and snorted dryly above her, his swollen eyes red and his face sagging so that its slack folds maybe touched, limply, the folds of her own loose sagging face as it sloshed back and forth on his pillow, its mouth working dryly.
Take a guess, /lit/.
>This, perhaps, is the feeling of some others amongst us, as well as mine.
Or la femme a toujours été, sinon l'esclave de l'homme, sinon sa vassale ; les deux sexes ne se sont jamais partagé le monde à égalité ; et aujourd'hui encore, bien que sa condition soit en train d'évoluer, la femme est lourdement handicapée.

The taller of the two men assures his companion, saying, "The two clocks say different times, but it could that neither of them is right. Our clock here," he continues, pointing to the one above them with his long, slender, and refined index finger, "is very late, while that one there measures not so much time as, well, the eternal reality of the exploited, and we to it are as the bough of a tree to the rain that falls upon it: in other words we are helpless".
