Sue Eells for an accounting every time he ships a brick make him pay back what he stole on the Wunpost give him fits over the Willie Meena and if a half ain't enough, send him broke and you can have it all! Do you reckon I'll get some results?" He asked this last softly, bowing his bristling head to where he could look Judson Eells in the eye, and the oppressor of the poor took counsel.
Marley in his pig-tail, usual waistcoat, tights, and boots; the tassels on the latter bristling, like his pigtail, and his coat-skirts, and the hair upon his head. The chain he drew was clasped about his middle. His body was transparent: so that Scrooge, observing him, and looking through his waistcoat, could see the two buttons on his coat behind.
All her remarks, bristling with the pointed satires of spiteful criticism, were a foil to the gentle temper of Coralie's conversation.

I don't know why I'm so crazy about you; I always meant to love a girl with a nice disposition." I left him then. Dal had gone into the reception room and closed the doors.

He eyed them with some surprise. The one was a shabby, red-haired clergyman, with a bristling moustache and a strikingly battered hat. He looked about thirty years of age.
He was let escape that he might be cornered here one single man against a whole country. Oh, cowards, cowards!" "Pardon me, madame," said Perrot, bristling up, "not cowards. Your husband has a chance for his life. You know Monsieur Iberville he is a man all honour. More than once he might have had your husband's life, but he gave it to him."
The shovel shone like silver from the action of the juice, and ever and anon, in its motion to and fro, caught the rays of the declining sun and reflected them in bristling stars of light.
