Soap for the slaves was made by the women of the plantation; by burning cockle-burrs, blackjack wood and other materials, then adding the accumulated fat of the past few weeks. For light they were given tallow candles. Asked if there was any certain time to put the candles out at night, Thomas answers that "Mr.
At any time after supper a half dozen of us blacker daubs against the darkness might have been seen squatting on the stones, scratching at the tar. Blackjack, bought at the corner, had not so full a flavor. But one had to chew forward in the mouth lightly, lest the tar adhere forever to the teeth. And yet I am not entirely in accord with Stevenson in his preference.
Then turning about, he saw the disabled whelp trying to sneak off, and, with unerring aim, threw his axe. The black mongrel sank with a kick, and lay still. The woodsman got out his pipe, slowly stuffed it with blackjack, and smoked contemplatively, while he stood and pondered the slain.
He bit off a chew from his plug of "blackjack," and with calm eyes surveyed the doom toward which he was rushing. A mile is a very short distance when it lies above the inevitable. The woodsman saw clearly that there was nothing to be done but chew his "blackjack," and wait on fate. That point settled, he turned his head to see what the bear was doing.
The mighty venison pasty, adorned with parsley, was placed on the board on a clean napkin; the stone-bottle of strong waters, with a blackjack full of ale, formed comfortable appendages; and to this meal sate down in social manner the soldier, occupying a great elbow-chair, and the keeper, at his invitation, using the more lowly accommodation of a stool, at the opposite side of the table.
She had a wild notion of asking him to take her away from New York down to Atlantic City or up to the Berkshires anywhere to be rid of Gilfoyle without being left alone.

Meanwhile Anita was afraid to have Dyckman come to her apartment as he constantly did.
He is your uncle's henchman, that they call Christie of the Clinthill; and he has not his old green jerkin and the rusty blackjack over it, but a scarlet cloak, laid down with silver lace three inches broad, and a breast-plate you might see to dress your hair in, as well as in that keeking-glass in the ivory frame that you showed me even now. Come, dear lady, come to the shot-window and see him."
"Well, I'm tellin' ye they'll get ye sure it'll be th' water or a forty-four bullet, or a blackjack or a knife but you'll get it one way or another!" "Sounds cheering!" "An' it ain't over-pleasant t' be sandbagged." "No, Spider." "Nor t' feel a lead pipe wrapped round th' back o' y'r bean." "No indeed, Spider." "Nor yet t' feel a stiletta diggin' between y'r shoulders or over y'r collar bone."
For there, thrown in pellmell among small square blocks of polished marble was a complete kit of burglar's tools, including also a mask, a dark lantern, and a blackjack. "What w w what on earth is this?" he stammered. "These things don't belong to me. I won't have them! I don't want them. Who put them into my suit case? How the deuce " "You are the marble man!" she said with a shudder.
Count me out, for I was hopeless; but consider the gay-cat. He might have come out, after those ninety days, pledged to a life of crime. And later he might have broken your skull, even your skull, with a blackjack in an endeavor to take possession of the money on your person and if not your skull, then some other poor and unoffending creature's skull.
