This phenomenon was accounted for by a row of four finger-marks, black and blue, on one side of the windpipe and by a single black-and-blue mark on the other side. Next, Smoke and Shorty together invaded Wentworth's cabin, throwing him out in the snow while they turned the interior upside down. Laura Sibley hobbled in and frantically joined them in the search.
He was ushered into the sick-room. As soon as the seigneur had dismissed his lackeys he sat up in bed, thus revealing black-and-blue marks in his flesh, and sneered vengefully "Doubtless thou thinkest thyself very cunning to have caught me unawares." "Would I had come before thou hadst killed the other four," replied the Baal Shem.
He had never cried, but had eaten whatever they had given him and had slept like a top, on the coal. When Zureda kissed his wife, he noticed that she had a black-and-blue spot on her forehead.

"How you talk! Curse! what do you mean?" asked Fabens, with emotion, and a searching glance of his large and loving eye: "George Ludlow under a curse?" "Yis, under a cuss, an' may it please your honor," said Troffater. "Who pronounced it?" asked Fabens.

And in the final battle, when the feminine principle is pitted against the masculine, I fancy we shall know how to win the day. If we resort to primitive methods it will be your own fault." "I was invited for dinner to-morrow night, and had to decline because my arms are black-and-blue." "I don't repent," said Gwynne, doggedly.
It's all black-and-blue, and he can't lift it enough to fiddle to-night." The three young men looked at each other. "What's going to be done?" said one. "I don't know," said Burr. "There's Davy Barrett, over to the Four Corners I suppose we might get him if we sent right over." "You can't get him," said Richard Hautville, still addressing the other two, as if they had spoken.
