~ ~ ~ Sentence 79 ~ ~ ~
Good stuff, damn good.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 195 ~ ~ ~
Ollie, my son, you don't know how very damn lucky you are!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 270 ~ ~ ~
"Are you _never_ going to get over that, you ass?"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 422 ~ ~ ~
And then there was the writing he wanted to do--and Nancy's etching--"our damn careers" they had called them--but those _were_ the things they did best--and neither had had even tolerable working conditions recently-- Well, sufficient to the day was the evil thereof--that was one of those safe Bible-texts you seemed to find more and more use for the older you grew.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 958 ~ ~ ~
"Say, mister--" "Oh, _go_ to hell!" and the man fades away again, without even looking startled, to mutter "Well, you needn' be so damn peeved about it--I'll say you needn' be so damn peeved--whatcha think you are, anyhow--Marathon Mike?" as Oliver's feet take Oliver swiftly away from him.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,019 ~ ~ ~
"Why, you big blue boob," he began abruptly with a sense of pleasant refreshment better than drink, "You great heaving purple ice wagon--" and then he was stopped abruptly for the policeman was taking the necessary breath away.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,125 ~ ~ ~
The popular college remedy for disprized love had always been an instantaneous mingling of conflicting alcohols--calling a large policeman a big blue boob seemed to produce the same desired result of bringing one to one's senses by first taking one completely out of them without the revolving stomach and fuzzed mind of the first instance.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,138 ~ ~ ~
There wasn't any way of opening a conversation about it with no one to talk to--and the corridor was merely a length of empty steel--and, damn it, his train left at Ten Seven and he had to see Nancy and explain everything in the world before it left--and if he didn't get back to New York in time he might lose his job.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,339 ~ ~ ~
"I was so damn sure.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,340 ~ ~ ~
I was so damn sure I knew everything about women.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,450 ~ ~ ~
"Yes--yes--oh it wasn't anything--I could explain in five seconds if I saw her--it was all a misunderstanding--I called the policeman a boob but I didn't mean it--I don't see yet why he took offence--it was just--" He was stifling inside the airless booth--he trickled all over.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,517 ~ ~ ~
It is not so much that we begrudge--but in a place like this where everyone must work shoulder to shoulder--and purely as a point of office discipline--Mr. Vanamee is rather rigid in regard to that and your work so far has really hardly justified--" "Oh that's all right, Mr. Alley" breaks in Oliver, though not rudely, he is much too fagged to be rude, "I'm leaving at the end of the week if it's convenient to you."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,602 ~ ~ ~
"I'm awful damn sorry.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,672 ~ ~ ~
People in love _were_ poor fools--damn fools--unutterably lucky, unutterably perfect--fools.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,766 ~ ~ ~
I'm damn sorry, Ollie.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,827 ~ ~ ~
Why, you poor ass, if you haven't noticed how I've been playing godmother to you all the way through this house-party--" "I have.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,830 ~ ~ ~
"Oh, you _perfect_ ass!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,983 ~ ~ ~
"Oh, you poor, damn, honorable, simple-minded, blessed, blasted fool!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,052 ~ ~ ~
I could take you over myself but I was so sort of fagged out--that's why I didn't go with them," she added--a little uncertainly he noticed.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,409 ~ ~ ~
oh damn you, damn you--you _woman_--you _devil--lemme_ go!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,469 ~ ~ ~
"Ted, listen--oh listen, damn you!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,519 ~ ~ ~
It hadn't been his job, damn it, it hadn't been his job at all.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,938 ~ ~ ~
Oh, Oliver, you ass, I _will_ be pretty and polite about your saving my life."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,159 ~ ~ ~
"I was so damn silly," says Oliver muffledly.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,167 ~ ~ ~
"Oh, _damn_ my art--I mean--well, I don't quite mean that.
