"Whlskers."

"Whiskers" was word formerly
per lip. Scott more than once speaks
Of "whiskers on the upper lip" and SO
does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe."
Johnson defined a "whisker" as the
hair growing on the upper lip or cheek
unshaven; mustachio." 1t seems to
have taken its name from a fancied
resemblance to small brush, to
"whisk" properly meaning to sweep,
and "whisker'' having been a par
ticular kind Of feather brush-also, in
the slang of former time, switch
or rod. In the seventeenth century a
''whisker" signified among other
things a brazen lie, "whoppex."

we're floating serenely along at about hve
miles an hour towards the next awkward

This we navigated, without any further
wetting, by taking the dark, oily-looking parts
