Formality . . .

(from For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway)
[As Pilar, wife of rebel leader Pablo, instructs Agustin on guarding the dynamite to be used in blowing up a bridge]
". . . "where the [insert profanity which Hemingway calls 'un-nameable'] is this vileness that I am to guard?"   "In the cave," Pilar said. "In two sacks. And I am tired of thy obscenity." "I [profanity] in the mild of thy tiredness," Agustin said.  "Then go and befoul thyself," Pilar said to him without heat.  "Thy mother," Agustin replied.  "Thou never had one," Pilar told him, the insults having reached the ultimate formalism in Spanish in which the acts are never stated but only implied. . .
