"Interfering with my business! getting away my custom! insulting folks with your cursed tracts!" frothed the angry man. "I swore to cowhide you, and I've done it!" "If that is the case, I have no complaint to make," said Pendlam. "You can go on with your cowhiding." "You've had enough for once!" growled the other, rolling up the lash.
"Lottie!" cried her mother, and her father started towards her, while Ellen still sat patiently quiet. "Oh, well!" Lottie submitted. "But if Dick was here I know this Trannel wouldn't get off so smoothly. Dick would give him a worse cowhiding than he did Bittridge."
I didn't want to go to school much before, but I reckoned I'd go now to spite pap. That law trial was a slow business appeared like they warn't ever going to get started on it; so every now and then I'd borrow two or three dollars off of the judge for him, to keep from getting a cowhiding.
The idea that Buzzardville was to be left off at one side originated in their own fulsome brains or rather in the settlings which they regard as brains. They had better, swallow this lie if they want to save their abandoned reptile carcasses the cowhiding they so richly deserve.
I used to think that Don Gordon was something of an aristocrat, but now I know better." "I wish I had given him a good cowhiding," continued Lester, who did not think it worth while to state that he had been on the point of attempting that very thing, but had thought better of it when he saw how resolutely David stood his ground.

"But wait a moment!" commanded West, as the maddened, half drunken young farmer was about to leap over the table to grasp his victim; "you're not going at this thing right, Bill Sizer." "Why ain't I, Bob West?" "Because," answered West, in calm, even tones, "this insult is too great to be avenged by a mere cowhiding. Nothing but blood will wipe away the dreadful stain on your sister's character."
"Never had a cowhiding in your life, eh?" repeated Kenyon, without moving. "What do you mean?" exclaimed Jerry. Kenyon remained motionless. "I mean," he said calmly, "that I've thrashed a man to a pulp before now for a good deal less than you have just offered me. It's my special treatment for curs. Suits 'em wonderfully. And suits me, too."
Kenyon heard him out in dead silence. He had found the ash-tray, but he did not turn his head. After several dumb seconds, he walked across the room to the window, and stood there. Finally he spoke. "I don't suppose," he said, in his calm, expressionless drawl, "that you have ever had a cowhiding in your life, have you?" "What?" said Jerry. He stared at Kenyon in frank amazement. Was the man mad?
On the first morning, I was saluted with a volley of iced snow balls as hard as brickbats, and I at once reciprocated these favors by knocking down the leader, dragging him into the house, and giving him a sound cowhiding, and when the vinegar-faced committee came in later I was busily engaged in teaching their sons to dance to this same useful instrument.
