All my life long the good Lord has provided fer me better than I desarved, an' if He cares fer the flowers an' the birds He'll not abandon an old man, never ye fear that. But thar'll be wark, Alec, an' these rough hands'll not be idle as long as life is in this carcase." "May God bless ye, Pete!" and Alec stretched out his horny right hand.
The best of the lands are being thus quite cleared of rabbits. The worst lands are for the present left to bunny, who has become a source of income, being trapped and his carcase sent frozen to England, and his fur utilized for hat-felt.
I can reduce your damned carcase to a pound of ashes with chemicals in half-an-hour! You've found out too much. But you've mistaken your man! Courtenay Ivor, say your prayers and commend your soul to the devil! You've driven me to bay, and I give you no quarter!" "Thank God, Una," Jack cried, "you remember it now even better than I do!" "Remember it!"
Peter's! of creatures, how few vast as the whale! The Funeral. Haul in the chains! Let the carcase go astern! The vast tackles have now done their duty. The peeled white body of the beheaded whale flashes like a marble sepulchre; though changed in hue, it has not perceptibly lost anything in bulk. It is still colossal.
This profound change in the character of its victuals does not seem in the least to disturb the larva, which bites straight into the rich morsel with its mandibles and does not let go until it has exhausted it. Towards evening the drained carcase is replaced by another, quite fresh, of the same species but bulkier, measuring over three-quarters of an inch.
The great man's face almost grew pale at the sight of her. He looked at Ursula, and then at Clarence, and laughed. "'Wheresoever the carcase is the eagles are gathered together," he said. "That's Scripture, ain't it, Miss Ursula? I am not good at giving chapter and verse." "What does it mean?" asked Ursula. She was quite indifferent to Mr. Copperhead, and perfectly unconscious of his observation.
It occurred to Mr Vanslyperken that a little taste of punishment in esse would very much assist the threats of what might be received in posse; so he laid aside his speaking-trumpet, looked round, picked up a handspike, and raising it above his head, down it came, with all the force of the lieutenant's arm, upon Corporal Van Spitter, whose carcase resounded like a huge kettle-drum.
And now he comes to say that he lays his battered, weather-worn old carcase at the feet of the cruel maid who spurned it when it was young and strong and beautiful. And the cruel maid, now in the full bloom of placid maternity I mean maturity " "Hold your tongue or I'll pull your ears!" exclaimed Aunt Charlotte, scarlet with confusion.
They are always wanting to heap presents upon me, but I will not have it. 'Just keep your money, I tell them. 'What should I do with it? I want nothing. And what am I, sir, after all? An old carcase, whose soul is always where my daughters are.
At last, honest Wilkes, ever watchful of his duty, succeeded in borrowing eight hundred pounds sterling for two months, by "pawning his own carcase" as he expressed himself. This gave the troopers about thirty shillings a man, with which relief they became, for a time, contented and well disposed. Is this picture exaggerated?
