He was seen one day, to the disgust of many spectators, to enter Antwerp in black foreign uniform, at the head of his troopers, waving a standard with a death's-head embroidered upon it, and wearing, like his soldiers, a sable scarf and plume. History disdains to follow further the career of the renegade, traitor, end assassin.

Pillin, sir; and will you wait lunch, or will you have it in the dining-room?" "In the dining-room." At sight of that death's-head of a fellow, old Heythorp felt a sort of pity. He looked bad enough already and this news would make him look worse. Joe Pillin glanced round at the two closed doors. "How are you, Sylvanus? I'm very poorly."
Ill health gives a certain common character to all faces, as Nature has a fixed course which she follows in dismantling a human countenance: the noblest and the fairest is but a death's-head decently covered over for the transient ceremony of life, and the drapery often falls half off before the procession has passed. Dr. Woods looked his creed more decidedly, perhaps, than any of the Professors.
Godwin knew him well, for the face was the face carven on the tomb in Stangate church, and he wore the blood-red cross upon his mail, and the D'Arcy Death's-head was on his shield, and in his hand shone a naked sword. "Is this the soul of my son?" he asked of the whiterobed watchers. "If so, how died he?" Then the angel at his foot answered: "He died, red sword aloft, fighting a good fight."
Ingelow, the first to break the silence, with a soft laugh. "Upon my word," said Dr. Oleander, with his death's-head smile, "Miss Mollie's return is far more remarkable than her departure! That young lady's sang-froid requires to be seen to be believed in." "Where can she have been?" asked Lawyer Sardonyx, helplessly taking snuff.
Conspicuous amidst these nocturnal moths is the richly-coloured Acherontia Satanas, one of the Singhalese representatives of our Death's-head moth, which utters a sharp and stridulous cry when seized. This sound has been conjectured to be produced by the friction of its thorax against the abdomen; Reaumur believed it to be caused by the rubbing of the palpi against the tongue.

The cub painted a high-light picture of his poor little room, its oil-stove and the one chair, and of the death's-head tramp who kept him company and who looked as if he had just emerged from twenty years of solitary confinement in some fortress dungeon. The cub had been industrious.
He caught the flash of her eyes, the gladness in them, and she was gone before he could find another word to say. Keok and Nawadlook were approaching hesitatingly, but now they hurried to meet her, Keok still grimly clutching the long knife; and beyond them, at the little window under the roof, he saw the ghostly face of old Sokwenna, like a death's-head on guard. His blood ran a little faster.
