Medart took the badge and pinned it to the holder the fabricator had provided on her equipment belt.
He would merely sell pamphlets, and show people to their seats, as he had done at a hundred meetings before. To make sure of his immunity, he would even leave off the red badge which he was accustomed to display on Socialist occasions!
'While I acknowledge my obligation to you, sir, for the restoration of the badge of our family, I cannot but marvel that you have nowhere established your own crest, whilk is, I believe, a mastiff, anciently called a talbot; as the poet has it, A talbot strong, a sturdy tyke.
The members of the privileged families all wore territorial titles as their badge. The most beggarly individual who wore the sword claimed precedence of the most substantial citizen. Whatever name was plain, to them was base. Now Germain's name was plain, and he knew his class was held by these people as base. His Elysian gardens, thought he, were about to be snatched away.
Just walking across a stage, she'd bring down the house and stop the show cold in its tracks." "O. K., O. K., don't blow a fuse," Deston said, resignedly. "I know. You'll love her undyingly; all this trip, maybe. So bring her up, next watch, and I'll give her a gold badge. As usual." "You ... how dumb can you get?" Eddie demanded.

I opened it, and took out something that I had seen before, and this typewritten letter from a magazine that encourages society fiction: Your short story, "The Badge of Policeman O'Roon," is herewith returned.

When it could sit laughing at him until in its laugh he heard the sounds of old winds roaring and old seas standing on their heads, and he put on his black sweater the moth-eaten badge of his sinfulness and he put on his wooden leg and lifted out the handful of money from under the corner of the carpet? What good were the prayers if they couldn't keep him pious? Yes, that was it.
In this action was our young soldier unlisted, and had the glory to be signalized by two remarkable accidents; one was, that pressing among the foremost in this hazardous attempt, he had his hat taken off by a cannon ball; and the other was, that seeing a standard about to be taken by the enemy, the person who carried it happening to be kill'd, he ran among those who were carrying it away, and being seconded by some others, retrieved that badge of English honour; and as this was done in sight of the duke, he rode up to him directly and presented it to him.
