On top of the dunnage, in the sternsheets, Michael gazed wistfully at the Mary Turner and continued to snarl crustily at Scraps who idiotically wanted to start a romp. The Ancient Mariner stood up at the steering sweep and gave the order, when all was ready, for the first dip of the oars. A growl and a bristle from Michael warned them that the whale was not only coming but was close upon them.
"There's a stone in the graveyard to you," went on the Cap'n, clawing his stubby fingers into his bristle of hair, "and they've always called her 'Widder Crymble' and" he stood up again and leaned forward over the table in the attitude of Jove about to launch a thunderbolt and gasped "she's goin' to get married to Bat Reeves, Tuesday of next week and he's the most infernal scalawag in this town, and he's took her after he's tried about every other old maid and widder that's got property."
Yet I'm a pretty good Regular, too, and when it comes to whoopin' and carryin' on like the Come-Outers, I Well! well! never mind; don't begin to bristle up. I won't say another word about religion.

When Lee entered the garret, only Clarion, every bristle on end, was in view, standing guard over a corner of the room; and striding to him, the general lashed him twice with his riding-whip ere the transgressor, with howls of surprised pain, fled. Then Lee peered behind the loom in search of his favourite. "Devil seize me!" he exclaimed. "What have we here?

"And thanks." A brittle voice sounded somewhere around Haney's knees. Joe looked down, startled. The midget he'd seen up on the Platform nodded up at him. He'd squirmed through the press in Haney's wake. He seemed to bristle a little out of pure habit. Joe made room for him. "I'm okay," said the midget pugnaciously. Haney made a formal introduction.
