When the ship was pitching or rolling, work would be difficult; but even then, when the Colonists get their sea-legs, and are free from the qualmishness which overtakes landsmen when first getting afloat, I cannot see why they should not engage in some form of industrial work far more profitable than yawning and lounging about the deck, to say nothing of the fact that by so doing they would lighten the expense of their transit.
"In-Darkest-England-and-the-Way-Out"
Booth, William
Not that he dreamed of the existence of my combine or of my connection with the new political deal, but simply because I had married into the Ramsay family and was therefore now in the Olympus of corporate power before which he was on his knees,-for a price, like a wise devotee, untroubled by any such qualmishness as self-respect.
"The Plum Tree"
David Graham Phillips
Tinder the same circumstances nearly everybody would feel the same qualmishness-at least all who had been brought up according to our Western notions.
