Jerome |

Montmorency |
I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease. (4) I felt rather hurt at first. Why hadn’t I got housemaid’s knee? Why this individious reservation?(5) «a general disinclination to work of any kind» (7) I was afraid for George. (12) It was a good idea of George’s and we said it in a tone that seemed to somehow imply that we were surprised that George should have come out so sensible. (15) |
To himself, it was always a mystery how people managed to get sea sick at sea. He said he had often wished to be, but had never been able. (13) There is no poetry about Harris - no wild yearning for the unattainavle (16) Harris always does know a place round the corner where you can get something brilliant in the drinking line (17) In the present instance, however, as regarded the camping out, his practical view of the matter came as a very timely hint. (17) |
George fancies he is ill; but there’s never anything really the matter with him, you know (8) _George said he should be all right, and would rather like it, but he would advise Harris and me not to think of it, as he felt sure we should both be ill. (13) Harris said that he didn’t think George ought to do anything that would have a tendency to make him sleepier than he always was, as it might be dangerous. (15) George goes to sleep at a bank from ten to four each day, except Saturdays, when they wake him up and put him outside at two (16) |
Doesn’t like nature - He never did care for the river (15) Scenery is not in my line (15) Prefers noisy companies - He does not revel in romantic solitude. Give him something noisy; and if a trifle low, so much the jollier. (20) Looks innocent - To look at Monmorency you would imagine that he was an angel sent upon the earth. (20) Likes to fight - I dragged him, growling and kicking, by the scruff of his neck, out of a hundred and fourteen street fights. (21) Hates cats - I had had a dead cat brought round for my inspection by an irate female, who called me a murderer (21) Active, born leader - to hang about a stable, and collect a gang of the most direputable dogs to be found in the town, and lead them out to march round the slums to fight other disreputable dogs, is Montmorency’s idea of ‘life’. (22)
