Then by a dexterous manoeuver, for he understood driving thoroughly, he managed to overturn the wagon, and Nicholas was thrown headlong into the puddle. Dick leaped out just at the right time, retaining his hold on the reins. Bespattered with mud and drenched with mire, Nicholas arose from the puddle a sorry figure.
The scene was disgusting in the extreme. Manuel arose, with his face cut in several places, his clothes bedaubed with filth from the floor, and his neck and shirt-bosom covered with blood; while the aghast features of Dunn, with his red, matted hair, and his glaring, vicious eyes, bespattered with the combined blood of his victim and his own nasal organ, gave him the most fiendish look imaginable.
Rather a precarious kind of seat this was, as barrel heads were apt to give way, and then the luckless individual would be smothered with flour or bespattered with brine. Mary also came across early, to help to dress the bride, and her mood was so wildly hilarious that Mrs. Burton felt it necessary to gently reprove her.
The first way was long, honorable, and sure; the second beset with hidden dangers, a perilous path, among muddy channels where conscience is inevitably bespattered.

"And this is what this idiot has got in exchange," she said to herself as she peered into the dining-room beyond, with its bespattered table-cloth flanked by cheap china plates and ivory napkin rings the castors mounting guard at either end. The entrance of the lady with the transferable hair cut short her revery. "Mr. Breen says come up, ma'am," she said in a subdued voice.
Civilization is not held in place by noisy youths in flaming waistcoats; and even if every cabbage had hit its mark, and every egg bespattered its target, the morning stars would still sing together. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was next turned out written in five months and was a great success. Publishers besieged the author for another story, but he preferred poetry.
Hardly were the words out of my uncle's mouth, when a whizzing was heard for a second, and then something fell down within a foot of where they stood, with a heavy crash. They started turned round the adopted heir lay lifeless at their feet, and their legs were bespattered with his blood and his brains.
Thickset men paused on sidewalks bespattered by passing omnibuses, and women, their skirts tucked up to the knees, bent under umbrellas, flattened themselves against the shops to avoid being splashed. The rain entered diagonally through the carriage doors.
Westmacott even with a stick, or a "pair of tongs." What does my poor, dear father expect, but that I shall be bespattered if I am to live on the highway? Mr. Murray has been kind enough to say he will publish my very original compositions, and I am preparing them for him.
