While thus oblivious of the past, and reckless of the future, we were enjoying the present moment in this badinage, and I was extolling the odour of the rose, as beyond every other grateful to the olfactory nerves of man, a lively, flippant little personage came up, and accosted the Brahmin with the familiarity of an acquaintance.

Are you going to forsake your cherished books for a curry-comb?" "Really, Marthe!" exclaimed her husband in an aggrieved tone, "it is incomprehensible that you should have such a total disregard for the delicacy of my constitution,especially when you know that the very odor of the stable is abhorrent to my olfactory senses.

A deaf, dumb, and blind animal, deprived of tongue, and olfactory mucous membrane, without sensations from the outside world can grow no mind, in the sense of intelligence.

As president of the Sniffer Nation, I need not remind you of the delicate nature of our highly sensitive olfactory organsour noses.

As you know, our olfactory senses are virtually nonexistent, but we are aware of a slight essence of this aroma which we find most pleasing.

It was just that the Gilligoggs' olfactory senses were sensitive to the natural scent of the Droffs (just as the Droffs' olfactory senses were equally sensitive to the natural scent of the Gilligoggs).

The cranial nerves are thus arranged in pairs: The first pair are the olfactory nerves, which pass down through the ethmoid bone into the nasal cavities, and are spread over the inner surface of the nose.

The mucous membrane, with the branches of the olfactory nerve, lines the dividing wall and the inner surfaces of these winding passages.

Below all these bones the lower turbinated bones may be said to divide the olfactory chamber above from the ordinary air passages.

] The nerves which supply the nasal mucous membrane are derived from the branches of the fifth and the first pair of cranial nerves,the olfactory.

The sense of smell is excited by the contact of odorous particles contained in the air, with the fibers of the olfactory nerves, which are distributed over the delicate surface of the upper parts of the nasal cavities.

In ordinary quiet breathing, the air simply flows along the lower nasal passages into the pharynx, scarcely entering the olfactory chamber at all.

By so doing, the air which is forcibly drawn into the nostrils passes up even into the higher olfactory chamber, where some of the floating particles of the odorous material come into contact with the nerves of smell.

Olfactory (Lat. olfacio, to smell).

Suppose, which is more terrible than all the rest, you were to set your foot upon that which I dare not name, and by offending the olfactory nerves of majesty, you were to forfeit his affections for ever!

It is, as one may say, an olfactory perspective of an endless vista of departed breakfasts, dinners, and suppers.

The portico was occupied by sheep, which at first refused to make room for us, and gave strong olfactory evidence of their partiality for the temple as a resting-place.

Let those whose appetites are strong, and whose olfactory nerves are not too delicate, sit down to the repast.

Whether this power is to be attributed to the keenness of his olfactory or his visual organs, is a matter still in dispute; although it is believed, from a minute observation of its habits in confinement, to be rather owing to its quickness of sight.

"AwI'm a little off soundings, doncherknow, and am not suah whether that is Dunderberg Mountain or Saint Anthony's Olfactory Organawthat's clevah, don't you think,Saint Anthony's Olfactory Organ, doncherknow"At the moment of partly rising to his feet, a couple of Vassar girls walked past.

I suppose the plug acted as a continued stimulant on the olfactory nerve, and was, in short, like taking a perpetual pinch of snuff.

At a place where the houses ceased, and an open space left free a prospect of the black and bad-smelling river, there was an old factory, disused and ruined, like the ancient mill in which Gaffer Hexam made his home, and Lizzie told the fortunes of her brother in the hollow by the fire.

But if the old factory is equally well managed, it too should be able to earn this $100,000, which upon the capital actually sunk would represent a rate of 20 per cent.

The old factory head man got us some milk, eggs, and chupatties; and about three in the afternoon we started for the head factory.
