In Brussels stands the Mannikin Pis, a statue of a small boy having a wee. |
At which one can only stare, as at a mannikin attacking a colossus. |
He had an ill-word for every-one and was an evil-tongued, foul-mouthed, self-pleasing and dull-witted mannikin. |
I look into my mind and discover I am too much of a mannikin to have any. |
A somewhat similar experiment was concerned with a magazine editor and a life-size mannikin made up to resemble a muckraker. |
She ought to be a mannikin when she grows up, and try on coats and mantles in shops. |
