But few thoughts of Pan stirred Ahab's brain, as standing like an iron statue at his accustomed place beside the mizen rigging, with one nostril he unthinkingly snuffed the sugary musk from the Bashee isles (in whose sweet woods mild lovers must be walking), and with the other consciously inhaled the salt breath of the new found sea; that sea in which the hated White Whale must even then be swimming. The Italian's face instantly changed and assumed an offensively affected, sugary expression, evidently habitual to him when conversing with women. He always spoke in the same deliberate, well- chiselled, polite way, whether his words were sugary or venomous. |
