At the end of three days Dick loathed sausages, and, going, forth, pawned his watch to revel on sheep's head, which is not as cheap as it looks, owing to the bones and the gravy.

Then he returned to sausages and mashed potatoes.

Then he confined himself entirely to mashed potatoes for a day, and was unhappy because of pain in his inside.

Then he pawned his waistcoat and his tie, and thought regretfully of money thrown away in times past.

There are few things more edifying unto Art than the actual belly-pinch of hunger, and Dick in his few walks abroad,--he did not care for exercise; it raised desires that could not be satisfied--found himself dividing mankind into two classes,--those who looked as if they might give him something to eat, and those who looked otherwise.
