You count three, Max; and remember, Bandy-legs, don't you dare shoot till you hear him say 'three' plain as dirt." "But, Steve," said Max. "What d'ye want?" grumbled the other, trembling with eagerness to begin operations. "I hope you've only got one hammer raised," continued Max. "It'd be pretty tough if you fired both barrels again, and lamed your left shoulder, too." "Cracky!
It was well for Steering that Piney was strong, with the strength of the hills and the woods and the quiet. As he went on some sort of revulsion seized Piney. He stopped calling and began to mutter blackly. "Wisht you'd draown! Wisht you uz dead! Wish-to-hell, you never needa been!" The log, with its one lamed passenger was drifting slowly in toward Singing Sand, and Piney came on, hard after it.
But Cimon, as Critias says, preferring the safety of Lacedaemon to the aggrandizement of his own country, so persuaded the people, that he soon marched out with a large army to their relief. Ion records, also, the most successful expression which he used to move the Athenians. "They ought not to suffer Greece to be lamed, nor their own city to be deprived of her yoke fellow."
Beaumont that she had been misinformed, and that he had been lamed only by sudden cramp. Any excuse she knew would be sufficient, in the present state of affairs, to the young lady, who was more ready to be deceived than even our heroine was disposed to deceive.

Were it not a cruel thing to see, in any province of an empire, the inhabitants living all mutilated in their limbs, each strong man with his right arm lamed?
"I must if possible deliver you from going to that awful place, and also from the dreadful calamities indulgence of a furious temper sometimes brings even in this life; even a woman has been known to commit murder while under the influence of unbridled rage; and I have known of one who lamed her own child for life in a fit of passion.
The old man was much alarmed, but his daughter followed beside him to the omnibus, in which were several lamed soldiers. "Et toi?" he quavered as they lifted him in. "What of thee, Maryette?" "I follow," she called out cheerily. "I rejoin thee " the bus moved on "God knows when or where!" she added under her breath. The airman was whispering to a fat staff officer when she rejoined him.
Pure African, but bronze rather than pure black, and full-sized only in width, her growth having been hampered as to height by an injury to her hip, which had lamed her, pulling her figure awry, and burdening her with a protuberance of the joint.
