~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,531   ~   ~   ~

She was looking at the doctor as he stared at her blindly, but she was suddenly conscious of a loud and passionate "Damn!" very close to her.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,662   ~   ~   ~

She heard a smash inside the cabin, and someone said "Damn!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,663   ~   ~   ~

It was exactly the same "Damn" that had resulted from her headlong flight after Dr. Angus.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,757   ~   ~   ~

Oh, damn life!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,632   ~   ~   ~

"All those damn fools in the saloon are looking at me!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,689   ~   ~   ~

And in addition I had a sense of guilt.--Oh, damn life!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,236   ~   ~   ~

G-god damn you, you're always sniffing about after her."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,404   ~   ~   ~

Anyway, he's helped spend it, and when we get to Sydney I shan't have to face him again, so I don't care a damn.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,739   ~   ~   ~

He knew very well that he would never have thought of making love to Marcella: if she had not taken things into her own hands, they would have parted in Sydney, necessary as he considered her to his well being, much as he liked to be near her.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,742   ~   ~   ~

And he knew beyond the shadow of doubt that no power on earth save whisky could ever get him to make love to anything--even a young girl who seemed in love with him already.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,173   ~   ~   ~

They most of them think much better than they can do, that's about the size of it!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,787   ~   ~   ~

"I say, I feel no end of an ass, don't you?" whispered Louis.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,089   ~   ~   ~

Oh, damn it all, I'm a chunk of jelly!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,196   ~   ~   ~

"My head's damn bad," he groaned.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,201   ~   ~   ~

"I feel damn bad," he said again, and burst into tears.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,217   ~   ~   ~

Those damn bunks on the Oriana were so hard!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,446   ~   ~   ~

Louis was too self-centred, too introspective to make love to anyone; it was only alcohol that released unconscious longings in him: he had never, consciously, loved anything on earth: his desperate pleadings with Marcella on the ship had been pleadings for a mother, a caretaker rather than for a lover.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,618   ~   ~   ~

He's no damn good to me, you know, kid--only I do manage to get a bit of scrubbing out of him, of a morning."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,650   ~   ~   ~

Now all I do is to feel damn glad to get him off my hands for the day.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 5,866   ~   ~   ~

Damn Germ's playing Marshlaise!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 6,329   ~   ~   ~

"We all know how damned superior you always are, and as for an emasculated old ass like St. Paul--blasted, white-livered passive resister--" She stared at him and laughed.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 6,448   ~   ~   ~

Louis looked fagged and worn.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 6,643   ~   ~   ~

"I say," he whispered, into her hair, "I was an ass over those damn smokes.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,035   ~   ~   ~

"Oh damn the Keltic imagination!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,089   ~   ~   ~

CHAPTER XXII They started awake at dawn to the discordant laughter of a jackass in the gum tree above their heads.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,361   ~   ~   ~

"Oh, that ass who sat in my chair?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,374   ~   ~   ~

"Well, you can tell the footling ass from me that he's a thumping liar.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,452   ~   ~   ~

"Wom' your condish' no damn goo' t' any man!" he mumbled.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,513   ~   ~   ~

"Damn you--damn you!" he cried, "playing the blasted Christian martyr.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,531   ~   ~   ~

I told you the damn stuff was making a madman of me."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,543   ~   ~   ~

"I got cocky, old girl.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 7,789   ~   ~   ~

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,047   ~   ~   ~

When I stopped taking people, women especially, seriously, and made love to them, I found them quite adorable--" "It seems silly."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,408   ~   ~   ~

"Damn Louis!" he cried.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,421   ~   ~   ~

Always I have to make love to them.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,423   ~   ~   ~

You--I couldn't make love to you!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,485   ~   ~   ~

I told you, right at the first, I always made love to women--.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,495   ~   ~   ~

You're the only woman I've ever thought much about and not made love to!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,496   ~   ~   ~

To you I couldn't make love--" "Whatever is this, then?" she asked faintly.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,752   ~   ~   ~

"You're looking fagged, and it's unnatural to see you looking fagged.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,885   ~   ~   ~

I believe he made love to you, knowing your cussed pride.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 8,983   ~   ~   ~

Oh damn these colonials!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 9,233   ~   ~   ~

He was wearing his first small suit and what he gained in dignity from knickers and three pockets he lost in comfort.
