When Granma put me to bed she saw how bruised and wealed I was all over ... for the first time she went after Uncle Lan turned into a furious thing. Shortly after, I was taken sick with typhoid fever. They used the starvation cure for it, in those days.
Are you sure that your husband has any part in it are you sure he's as bad as you think him?" Well, instead of answering me, she stood up suddenly and let her dress fall by the shoulder-knots. I saw the white flesh beneath bruised and wealed, as though a whip had cut it, and I knew that this was her witness to her story.
I have never seen him scourge the hounds, as you tell me he does, until blood drops from their mangled hides; I have never heard the cries which, you say, resound from their kennels day and night; cries of pain and hunger." "And have you never seen," would ask some well-meaning tale-bearer, "any of those poor brutes, whose wealed and mangled coats, proclaimed how savagely they had been treated?"
Insane thoughts flooded my mind. For that creamy skin was wealed with the marks of the lash! She turned, quickly rearranging her dress, and watching me the while. I could not trust myself to speak for a moment, then "If I am a stranger to you, as you claim, why do you give me your confidence?" I asked.

There are fifty of us, and if we agreed in common action we could certainly break through the guards and take to the hills. As you may see by their faces, the spirit of these slaves is broken.

Sanguis mane in te, Sicut Christus fuit in se; Sanguis mane in tua vena Sicut Christus in sua poena; Sanguis mane fixus, Sicut Christus quando fuit crucifixus, Jesus, that was of a Virgin born, Was pricked both with nail and thorn; It neither wealed nor belled, rankled nor boned In the name of Jesus no more shall this. Or, thus:
Blondel decided on that course, and advancing to the door he opened it and called to his prisoner to come out. To his credit be it said the sight of the lad's wealed face gave the Syndic something of a shock. He was soon to be more gravely shaken.
The result was, of course, that in a very short time that Belgian's thigh was so wealed that at every feint in that direction he was ready to be drawn, and to uncover head or arm or any well-padded spot, not already sore, to the other man's attack. Let me touch lightly on one or two little points before plunging in medias res.
It was pitiful to see the glance of their terror-filled eyes and the answering quiver of their wealed frames whenever an arm was lifted or a sudden movement made. Soa went down the line, rapidly examining the faces of the slaves. "Do you see any of Mavoom's people?" asked Leonard anxiously. "Not here, White Man; let us go to the next shed, unless you want to loose these."
