Such was the occupation of the small boy, Deputy, night after night, week after week, month after month, during the year when we catch a glimpse of him, and it is reasonable to suppose that the remainder of his life, after we lose sight of him was spent, in making a cock-shy of everything that came in his way, whether Durdles or inanimate objects.
'What are you doing to the man? demands Jasper, stepping out into the moonlight from the shade. 'Making a cock-shy of him, replies the hideous small boy. 'Give me those stones in your hand. 'Yes, I'll give 'em you down your throat, if you come a-ketching hold of me, says the small boy, shaking himself loose, and backing. 'I'll smash your eye, if you don't look out!
I would have gone with him had he beckoned a finger. The four-and-twenty bottles of Hock were ranged in a line for the stable-boys to cock-shy at them under the squire's supervision and my enforced attendance, just as revolutionary criminals are executed.

But some of them are right enough, durable even for life; and the poorest serve for a cock-shy as when idle people, after picnics, float a bottle on a pond and have an hour's diversion ere, it sinks. Whichever they are, serious opinions or humours of the moment, he still defends his ventures with indefatigable wit and spirit, hitting savagely himself, but taking punishment like a man.
I am sure I should be very happy to help to carry the boughs if the man won't go to the house, the house must go to the man." "What a fine cock-shy he would make!" said Master Blubberlips. "O, I should so like to see it," said the lady. "It will be the first time he has been made shy in his life."
What business had that Judge to make things human suddenly? To make his mother speak out of her heart, and say what, perhaps, she didn't know herself, before all these people! It wasn't decent. His mother answered, rather low: "Yes, my Lord." Val saw the Judge nod. 'Wish I could take a cock-shy at your head! he thought irreverently, as his mother came back to her seat beside him.

"Because Oaks would jolly well punch both our heads."
She came to him, he declined the gift, and you were turned into the curtain for them. If he had only been off with her, he would have done the country good service. Here he's a failure and a nuisance; he's a common cock-shy for the journals. I'm tired of hearing of him; he's a stench in our nostrils. He's tired of the woman. 'He loves her.
