"The Lord Keeper has got all his estates; he has not a cross to bless himself with." On which the ancient Lord Turntippet replied, "If he hasna gear to fine, He ha shins to pine. "And that was our way before the Revolution: Lucitur cum persona, qui luere non potest cum crumena. Hegh, my lords, that's gude law Latin."
The fire nipped his shins, the ropes were cutting into his flesh, the sparks and smoke were choking him. "Kiddie! Kiddie!" he cried aloud in his anguish of body and mind. And then, from immediately behind him, there came a calm, steady voice "All right, Rube; all right. I'm here."
She also missed painfully those little daily attentions to her hands and shins, which were rendered necessary in consequence of Tony's activity with his nails and the toes of his boots, to say nothing of his teeth. For many weeks past it seemed to her years Miss Trim had not bandaged a cut, or fomented a bruise, or mollified a scratch with ointment.
Until this time it had been Hubbard's custom to retire to his blankets early, while George and I continued to toast our shins by the fire and enjoy our evening pipe.

This afternoon she had been more than usually tiresome. She had simply raved. "You should have brought her round to the meeting," said Dorothy, "and let her rave there. I'd back Aunt Emmeline against Maud Blackadder. I wish, Rosalind, you'd leave off making faces and kicking my shins. You needn't worry any more, Mummy ducky.

His fear for little Jane's safety so increased that he became restless and soon received a sharp rap on the shins from the tything man.
B. Would you be kicked? F. Would you have your neck broke? I tell you, duke, I am not in Russia; My shins must be kept whole. B. Do you know me? F. Oh, my lord, methodically: As in this world there are degrees of evils, So in this world there are degrees of devils. You're a great duke, I your poor secretary.
Before she could rewind, message number two began: "Hon, this is Justin!" Julia gasped and dropped Cecil, who landed perfectly and returned to rubbing her shins. "Don't believe any messages you get about me unless they're from me! I shot a fella who got into my house... well, sort of shot him. I did and I didn't. He was there one minute and then Poof!
