"Ishi, if it weren't for hurting the feelings of the august pig I would say you were it. Stand aside and let me cut those roses. There's a thousand of them, if there's one." The protest came high and shrill. "Decapitate heads! You sha'n't not! All of ones convey soul of great ancestors."

"That's a duck's head shot off. Jake doesn't miss," he said. Lisle nodded. He could take a hint; and he had no doubt that Nasmyth was right regarding the shot, though it is not easy to decapitate a swimming duck with a rifle. He began to talk about the portage; and soon after Jake returned with a single duck they went to sleep.

And now, God have mercy on us! there is to be all the round of wars and proscriptions and massacres over again: Roma caput mundi herself piteously decapitate; and with every booby and popinjay rising in turn to kick her about at his pleasure; and here first comes Mark Anthony to start the game, it seems.

'Carlo is composing for his newspaper, the countess said to Luciano. 'Those are the leaders who can lead, the latter replied. 'Give the men who are born to it the first chance.

Behold in them the double-bladed axe with which you decapitate the white old man whom you enthrone among your painted clouds! And now, to me the axe, I wield it!"

His real depth was hidden under a light and jesting mind. Mere clerk as he was, his ambition knew no bounds.

Relatives often cluster together for mutual help. When one of them is killed, rather than allow the enemy to take his head, they decapitate him themselves, and bring his head back. On the return from a war expedition, if the people of any particular boat have secured a human head, word is sent up to the Dyak village house, as soon as the boat reaches the landing-stage.
