An' I'd ruther 'ave the beltin' from my ole man, even wivout no kipper, than 'ave us allers lookin' at each other as if we was wooden images. Even a beltin' shows as 'ow a man 'as some regard for 'is daughter." "It do," said Cook. "Pity is, you ain't 'ad more of it, that's the only thing!" "Demobilized! Oh, Bob truly?" "Truly and really," said Bob. "At least, I shall be in twenty-seven days.
"The bairns get mair teechin' noo, and less o' the beltin', an' I'm no sure but they learn a' the better for it!" "'Tis not the whole of life to live; Nor all of death to die."
"They think it mighty fine to go beltin' by, makin' everybody take their dust, just because STOPPIN' ain't in their contract. Why, if that expressman who chucked down the bag had any feelin's for a lady" but he stopped here at the amused faces of his auditors. "Guess you don't know much o' that expressman's feelin's, stranger," said Simmons grimly.
Boys was thrashin' on the place, and the beltin' kept a-troublin' and delayin' of 'em and I was potterin' round in the way anyhow, tel finally they sent me off to town to git some whang-luther and ribbets, and while I was in, I thought I thought I'd jest run over and see the Jedge about that Henry County matter; and as I was knockin' round the court-house, first thing I knowed I'll be switched to death ef they didn't pop me on the jury!
Now I forgot to tell you that Billy had a notion that Dave helped drive his bullicks to pound that time, though I didn't believe it. So Billy says: "Don't you believe that for a minute, Mrs Hardwick. Dave knew what he was a-doin' of all right; an' if I ketch him I'll give him a beltin' for it if no one else is man enough to stand up for a woman!" says Billy.
A glimpse, no more. "That'll help some," Barlow grunted. "Quick work. But they come blame near cuttin' us down, beltin' along at ten knots when you can't see forty feet ahead." An empty beach greeted them at Tumbling Creek. Reluctantly Stella bade Barlow turn back.
I gits half eat by that crazy skate, an' fired without a cent fer it. God drat 'em!" he muttered; "I'll get even, or know why. They'll put Ned up on Diablo, will they? The sneak! He split on me fer beltin' the Black, I know, damn him! They ain't got another boy an' they won't git one. I'll fix that stiff, Carter, too; then they won't have no boy."
I know you think he’s filin’ his teeth for you, but I’d say he was too busy countin’ stars from that skull beltin’ to make sense out of our hurrawin’. I’ll give him th’ eye though. Lissen now, you’re Kirby—so am I called for a rebrandin’, too? Seems like two Kirbys turnin’ up in a town this size is gonna make a few people ask some questions." "You’re my cousin—Anson Kirby."
"No," said John, with a laugh, "the beating the Battler gave me was enough. You know, it's a good man who knows when he has had enough." "Ya didn't seem to know when ya had enough da night ya mixed it with da Battler," said Murphy. "Ya took a beltin' that night and came up for more as long as ya could." "Let's step inside; I'll buy you a drink of whatever they have," John invited.
I never seen such a fish. An' now he's got to wear the stripes for twenty years. Lucky he wasn't married. If he don't get the consumption he'll be an old man when he comes out. Cal's mother wouldn't let 'm go swimmin', an' whenever she suspected she always licked his hair with her tongue. If it tasted salty, he got a beltin'. But he was onto himself.
