'And I humane, said Calidas the Indian. 'Fellow, how dare you violate the proclamation, by thrashing that child? He turned to one of the stewards of the table, who was belabouring the unfortunate driver of a camel which had stumbled and in its fall had shivered its burden, two panniers of porcelain.
But you said it was out of sight out of mind, and she'd be trying it on with some one else in my absence. If I'd the strength, I'd thrash you, Gresham, for an evil-minded bounder." "I'll carry your bag to the station, old chap," Gresham replied with contrition, "and take the thrashing at your earliest convenience."
"Then you are a coward, and will not object to a good thrashing?" "Anything you like, but it would be cruelty, for my love blinded me. I only came here a quarter of an hour ago, and the countess and her governess were both asleep." "You are a liar." "I had only just taken off my shirt when you came, and I have never seen this angel before." "And that's gospel truth," said the Corticelli.
They are droll boys; but, Cutler, long before thrashing machines were invented, there was a command, 'not to muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn.

"He said that Havnholme was his, and that he meant to do with his own as he pleased. And he said, 'If you set foot in Boden you will receive the thrashing which such a coxcomb deserves. He told me to send the Harrison boys across the sound in your little boat early to-morrow, and they were to leave the letter at the post-office. They were not to go to the Ha' for their lives.
You've got me started and I can't help it. If I say anything that hurts, you'll have to put me out. But I'm going to tell you what I think." "You're rather bewildering. But I'm not a coward. I don't want you to say that. If you were a man, I'd give you a thrashing," he said quietly. Their glances must have flashed fire.
Perkins has found out, and he's giving Tom Barber a sound thrashing! So I'm not worrying!" "I can see y' ain't," declared One-Eye, admiringly. He was back at the sink once more, allowing Niagara to lave that injured eye, now a shining purplish-black. "Bully fer the gal! That's the stuff! Y' got backbone! And spirit, by thunder! And sand! Jes' paste that in yer sunbonnet!
Of murdering himself or of stealing Mme. de Nolé's dog? The commissary would hardly listen to such a tale . . . and it would make me seem ridiculous. . . . So I gave Theodore the soundest thrashing he ever had in his life, and fifty francs to keep his mouth shut. But did I not tell you that he was a monster of ingratitude?
Several who had been caught in the act were now pinioned by the Turks, and were immediately condemned to be shot; while others were held down upon the ground and well chastised with the coorbatch I begged that the punishment of death might be commuted for a good flogging; at first I implored in vain, until I suggested, that if the porters were shot, there would be no one to carry their loads: this practical argument saved them, and after receiving a severe thrashing, their arms were pinioned, and a guard set over them until the morning.
