"As you please," I replied, "though my man Diccon dresses my scratches well enough." He bit his lip, but could not hide the twinkle in his eye. "You are cocksure," he said. "Curiously enough, so is my lord. There are no further formalities to adjust, I believe? To-morrow at sunrise, behind the church, and with rapiers?" "Precisely." He slapped his blade back into its sheath.
It was evidently used for dancing. There was a talking machine as well as a piano. The girl played the latter very nicely indeed. There were a few scratches on the floor of the room, and she saw Pratt looking at them. "I told Ratty M'Gill he shouldn't come in here with the rest of the boys to dance if he didn't take his spurs off," she said.
"You don't understand, sir. That's the women shouting and screaming as they give it to the press-gang. It's the sailors gets hits and scratches and called all sorts o' names, and they're 'bliged to take it all. But, my word, there's getting to be a shindy to-night and no mistake. Let's try again to get the boat off!"
"Hold up!" yelled Jones, whose face was bleeding from scratches received in the scuffle. Panting from exertion, August leveled his revolver and fired. His hand was unsteady, and the bullet flew wide of the mark. At this moment a sound behind him warned Bordine to guard his rear.
"We have this forenoon as a half holiday, and papa is to join us in about an hour for a walk in the woods."

He found some soft juicy leaves which he crushed and spread on the ugly red scratches.
They had an unpleasant time and were more than once heavily shelled, on one occasion having a narrow escape. The officers were sitting in a dug-out when an armour piercing field gun shell passed through the roof and out of the door, hurting no one. Major Griffiths and 2nd Lieut. Dunlop received slight scratches, as also did Adams, one of the batmen, but no serious damage was done.
The dog rubs his ear against every projecting body, he scratches it might and main, and tumbles over and over while he is thus employed. The young practitioner should be on his guard there. Is this dreadful itching a thing of yesterday, or, has the dog been subject to canker, increasing for a considerable period.
I told her on your behalf how I had been ground to pieces under your chariot wheels. And now you have not a word of thanks to give me! 'Every word you say is a dagger. 'You know where to go for salve for such skin-deep scratches as I make. Where am I to find a surgeon who can put together my crushed bones? Daggers, indeed!
What strikes the eye is the material apparatus of business, the street cars, the advertisements, the exchange, the telephone, the typewriter; all these form an impressive contrast with the slow, simple life of the farmer, who very likely scratches his accounts on a shingle or keeps them in his head.
They could fly a little; by practice they learned to improve, and at last they agreed upon a sign by which to recognise each other if they should meet in the world later on. It was to be one "Peep!" and three scratches on the ground with the left foot. The young one who had remained behind in the nest made himself as broad as he could, for he was the proprietor.
