Make up your mind that we've got a better team than they have and that we're going to everlastingly smear them! And then go ahead and prove it. You'll be up against a good man on attack, this fellow Terrill, but don't let that make you nervous. Remember that he's probably just as much afraid of you as you are of him, Thayer.
One, at least, walked 'because it is my duty as Pujari. Another says, 'I got down into the fire at the east end, meditating on Draupati, walked through to the west, and up the bank. Draupati is a goddess, wife of the Pandavas. Mr. Stokes reports that, according to the incredulous, experienced fire-walkers smear their feet with oil of the green frog.
The fact that girls strangle their illegitimate children and go to prison for it, and that Anna Karenin flung herself under the train, and that in the villages they smear the gates with tar, and that you and I, without knowing why, are pleased by Katya's purity, and that every one of us feels a vague craving for pure love, though he knows there is no such love is all that prejudice?
The kid came back at him with a yell that made the window rattle. I raced to the kitchen and fetched a jar of honey. It was the right stuff. The kid stopped bellowing and began to smear his face with the stuff. "Well?" said Freddie, when silence had set in. I explained the idea. After a while it began to strike him. "You're not such a fool as you look, sometimes, Reggie," he said handsomely.
I unearth the larvae when they have attained a medium size, to avoid the weakness of infancy; I take away the natural provisions, smear the carcases separately with honey and, when this is done, restore its victuals to each of the grubs. I had to make a choice: not every subject was equally suited to my experiments.

On the way back to his inn he kept looking at his cut knuckles, and, arriving, called for a noggin of brandy. The hour struck: but John Romley sat on in the coffee-room staring stupidly at his knuckles.
He put up his hand and wiped something from his cheek, and held the hand out to a shaft of light which came from the open door behind them. A smear of blood lay across his open palm. "A splinter of falling glass," he said quietly. "Come on, all of you! That was an explosion and I guess where! Get help, Polke come on to the Cornmarket! Get the firemen out."
His black arm, with the hand all gnarled with work lay on the table. His wife pretended not to see him rub the back of his hand across his eyes, nor the smear in the coal-dust on his black face. "Yes, an' that other lad 'ud 'a done as much if they hadna ha' killed 'im," he said quietly. The thought of William went through Mrs. Morel like a cold blade.
"That's what our supervisor is always sayin'," said the road-worker. "Yes," I responded, "it usually is the supervisor. He lives by it. He wants to smooth over the defects, he wants to lay the dust that every passerby kicks up, he tries to smear over the truth regarding conditions with messy and ill-smelling oil.
I like your spirit, on my soul and honor I do, and, as for blots, I vow to you I never write a letter myself that I don't smear most damnably curse me if I don't. That blot, sir, shall be another bond between us, for I have conceived a great regard for you.
