No particle of food was found in the house, and on a nail in the wall in the kitchen was hung a piece of blood-smeared paper on which was written in pencil: 'This is not my crime, but society's. The report went on to explain that the deed must have been perpetrated during a fit of temporary insanity brought on by the sufferings the man had endured.
The next person I went to was Measles, who, during a cessation of the firing, was sitting, black and blood-smeared, with his head tied up, wiping out his gun with pieces he tore off the sleeves of his shirt. "Well, Ike, mate," he says, "not dead yet, you see. If we get out of this, I mean to have my promotion; but I don't see how we're going to manage it.
"My God!" fell from his lips, and then suddenly he sprang forward, placing Kenneth's body between him and the object of his terror. "Stop her! For God's sake, Gwynne, stop her!" For the first time since Barry went crashing to earth and lay as one dead, Gwynne raised his eyes from the blood-smeared face.
Bales had been broken open, and my papers were thrown and trampled. Many of the papers were blood-smeared. I examined every cabin and every bale, then went to the ashes of the camp fire and stood still. Lord Starling followed, and I heard his smothered groan. I took out my knife. "I shall kill you if you make that noise again," I said. I think that I spoke quietly, but he stepped back.
Two large women in cotton dresses were sitting on a bench with blood-smeared tin trays in front of them and yellow bodies across their knees.

Suddenly a chicken came floundering, half flying, half running into the space, pursued by a third woman whose age could hardly be under eighty.

As Bigley squeezed my hand and started off, my father exclaimed: "Now I must have a messenger to go to Ripplemouth for Doctor Chowne. What man is not wounded?" There was a murmur among the group assembled about the fire, a grim blood-smeared powder-blackened set of beings, several of whom had had their hair scorched away by the explosion.
They made little pits in the moving sand; and more sand drifted up and covered them. "Taffy! Taffy! Whatever has become of the child?" His mother was standing by the gate in her print frock. He scrambled up and ran toward her. She cried out at the sight of him, but he hid his blood-smeared face against her skirts. Mattock. They were in the church Squire Moyle, Mr. Raymond, and Taffy close behind.
Within a few moments of his falling, this man who had been a living force, whose word had carried law from the Campagna to the Bolognese, was so much naked, blood-smeared carrion for those human vultures stripped him to the skin; his very shirt must they have.
At a signal from the slave-raider, however, the scarred-face brute again withdrew the pincers from the fiery brazier, and applied them once more to the wretched prince's back. He winced and turned with such strength that his limbs, fettered as they were in bonds of blood-smeared iron, cracked, while the muscles and veins stood out knotted like cords.
