He'd draw back, astonished, then he'd curse and damn the jar and the wine, not knowing what could have happened.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 767   ~   ~   ~

Well, damn all the health and virtue that these masters I run into find in staying hungry.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 947   ~   ~   ~

And because of his damn what-do-you-call it--honor-- he would take a toothpick (and there weren't very many of those in the house either) and go out the door, picking at what didn't have anything between them and still grumbling about the cursed place.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 959   ~   ~   ~

Damn the place and damn the person who put the first tile on its roof-- I should never have rented it.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 994   ~   ~   ~

But even though we ate well that day, I didn't enjoy it a damn bit.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,019   ~   ~   ~

"Damn it!" he said.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,481   ~   ~   ~

I was longing for it all and sighing because it wasn't back at home, safe, so that, as the buffoon says, I could eat my bread dipped in sardines.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,504   ~   ~   ~

It tasted like the archpriest's piss my wife made me drink once, telling me it was good Ocana wine.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,560   ~   ~   ~

When I saw that my begging was as useless as the soap they use to wash an ass's head, I became patient and waited for time--which cures everything--to cure my trouble, knowing it all came from suffering through that damned metamorphosis.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,718   ~   ~   ~

When she saw me she shouted, "Get that damn drenched fish--that plucked goose--out of my sight because, if you don't, I swear on my father's grave that I'll get up and poke his eyes out!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,727   ~   ~   ~

Up to then I had felt as spirited as a stallion, but I suddenly realized they had made an ass of me: my daughter wasn't mine at all.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,749   ~   ~   ~

They painted a black picture to me and said I was spineless and that I didn't have a brain in my body because the woman I wanted to live with was a whore, a hussy, a trollop, a slut, and, finally, a devil's mule.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,851   ~   ~   ~

So there I sat, like a jackass, not sure what had happened to me.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,854   ~   ~   ~

The people inside jumped down: they were all whores, students, and friars.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,856   ~   ~   ~

I told him I would be glad to because I saw that he certainly wouldn't trick me the way the whore had done.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,249   ~   ~   ~

I only heard the widow say, 'Where does this whore get all her pride?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,283   ~   ~   ~

Because if those gentlemen who were so rich and important brought everything in their pockets and the ladies carried things that were cooked in theirs, I--who was only a whore's squire--could do it, too.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,317   ~   ~   ~

They stood there cursing the job and the whore who taught it to them.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,322   ~   ~   ~

He went out a back door, pissing oil.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,359   ~   ~   ~

"You damned pimp!" he cried.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,490   ~   ~   ~

Like an ass.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,619   ~   ~   ~

The first thing they made me do was kiss her arse, saying that was the first ceremony.
