And through these means, and some small money presents our Captain would make to their wives and callow brats, it came to pass that Mother Drum had seldom cause to brew aught but the smallest beer, for morning Drinking; for though we had to pay for our Wine and Ardent Drinks, the cellar of the Stag o' Tyne was always handsomely furnished with barrels of strong ale, which Lobbin Clout or Colin Mayfly, the Hind or the Plough-churl, would bring us secretly by night in their Wains for gratitude.
The next instant the glass of the first coach was smashed and its door beaten open. A burly fellow seized upon a shrieking beauty and dragged her forth laughing, dealing her gallant a mighty clout on the face as he caught her. Blood spouted from the poor gentleman's delicate aquiline nose, and the mob danced and yelled. "Drag 'em all out!" was roared by the sodden-faced thief.
He said "do well" as if each word had a capital letter. "We've got to be the Pride of our College, d'ye hear, and work so that the dons will shed tears of joy when they hear our names mentioned. I draw the particular attention of Ninian Graham to what I am saying, and I warn him that if he goes on whittling a stick while I'm talking, I shall clout his fat head for him.
Reaching to his vest to see if his watch were there, he found that that, too, was missing. "I've been robbed," he gasped. "That's what it was. Somebody robbed and threw me into this car last night. See, I've got a lump on my head as big as a man's fist." "He sure has," agreed one of the men. "Somebody must a given him an awful clout with a club." "What town is this, please?" "Mexico, Missouri."
Hamlet welcomed his old friends, the players, and remembering how that speech had formerly given him pleasure, requested the player to repeat it; which he did in so lively a manner, setting forth the cruel murder of the feeble old king, with the destruction of his people and city by fire, and the mad grief of the old queen, running barefoot up and down the palace, with a poor clout upon that head where a crown had been, and with nothing but a blanket upon her loins, snatched up in haste, where she had worn a royal robe; that not only it drew tears from all that stood by, who thought they saw the real scene, so lively was it represented, but even the player himself delivered it with a broken voice and real tears.
As they walked they saw that the men and women who were making alawig were the companions of Aponibolinayen. Awig said, "That is the man who used to put the clout of banana leaves on him."

I should like to see the earl, as his bands of horsemen ride in, today, with the news that they can hear nothing of us." "I should like to hit him just such a clout, with my staff, as I gave his two retainers," Roger said.
But, imagine in your own mind, my Powys instead of passion, of rage, of tempest, she is frozen wiz a repose. Do you, hein? sink it will come out," Pericles eyed Merthyr with a subtle smile askew, "I have sot so; it will come out when she is one day in a terrible scene ... Mon Dieu! it was a terrible scene for me when I looked on ze clout zat washed ze blood of ze terrible assassination.
The arrow sped true, and lodged in the white; again he shot, and again he hit the clout; a third shaft he sped, but this time failed of the center, and but struck the black, yet not more than a finger's-breadth from the white.
