 55    2,  51|          us was born solid! I don't know of any worse torment
 56    2,  51|         thing Jupiter himself can't hold in. So you're laughing,

 62    2,  52|         it's not the case, it don't amount to anything anyhow."
 63    2,  53|        bawled out, "this hog hain't been gutted, has it? No,
 64    2,  53|       gutted, has it? No, it hain't, by Hercules, it hain't!

 67    2,  53|          in that fashion I wouldn't overlook it, by Hercules,
 68    2,  53|         it, by Hercules, I wouldn't." But that was not Trimalchio'
 69    2,  54|         better by saying, "Wouldn't you like to know how it
 70    2,  54|  Corinthus makes? And, so you won't think I'm a blockhead, I'
 71    2,  54|          prefer glass, if you don't mind my saying so; it don'
 72    2,  54|         mind my saying so; it don't stink, and if it didn't

 99    2,  62|      impudent to your elders. Don't loiter along looking in
100    2,  63|           presently, and "You don't any of you know the plot
101    2,  65|           he remarked, "and I don't know why you should be dumb
102    2,  65|         as far as they like. What t'hell do I care who laughs?
103    2,  65|        hear me, Hercules, it wasn't; I was not in love with

107    2,  66|           and damned if they hadn't turned to stone! Was ever
108    2,  66|       like a butcher. But he didn't get the laugh on me, even
109    2,  66|           with a spear!" I couldn't keep my eyes shut any longer
110    2,  66|          and after that, I couldn't have eaten a crumb of bread

113    2,  68|       Trimalchio spoke up, "haven't you anything to tell us?
114    2,  68|    anything to tell us? You haven't entertained us at all, have
115    2,  70|          a crap afterwards, I don't have to yell. Following

119    2,  71|          Trimalchio replied; "don't you know her better than
120    2,  71|      better than that? She wouldn't touch even a drop of water

136    2,  78|           repay a bad turn, I won't have her kissing me when
137    2,  79|           worth my attention, ain't he? But Fortunata won't
