But 'twas a knock-out. . . . 'Nicky-Nan, says you, 'an'not a sovereign to bless hisself' Why the man's fairly leakin sovereigns! sheddin' 'em about like fish-scales!" "Mr Latter are you intoxicated?" "I wish I was, ma'am.
The flowers are 2 in. long, bell-shaped; the petals shining lemon-yellow, with a tinge of brown on the outside, whilst the sepals are like a number of fish-scales, overlapping each other down the outside of the campanulate tube. The stamens and pistil are almost hidden inside the flower.
As she approached him across the tesselation of fish-scales, blood and saw-dust, he laid aside his cleaver and not unsympathetically asked: "Sister sick?" "Oh, not very jest a cold," she answered, as guiltily as if Evelina's illness had been feigned.
We used to take great pleasure in arraying ourselves on high days and holidays, since when we went wandering on shore, or out sailing or rowing, we did not always dress as befitted our position in the town. Fish-scales and blackberry-briers so soon disfigure one's clothes.
Feeling the thrill of my shiver, he very kindly handed me a rough jacket full of fish-scales, with which I was glad to cover myself.

"I picked them up on the beach," said Tommy, "and I thought you might like them." "It was awfully good of you to think of me," said little Anne, gratefully. "I wanted to buy you something," apologized Tommy. "There was some lovely jewelry made out of fish-scales, but I didn't have a cent to spare."
To one side was a mass of potato peelings, bones, fish-scales and filth, and everywhere were the buzzing flies, to be plagues all day, till at sundown the Mosquitoes relieved them and took the night shift of the office of torment. "I want to learn, especially if it's Injun," said Little Beaver. "What had we best do?" "Wall, first ye could move camp; second, ye could clean this."
As they grow up toward the surface from the bottom, they become flatter and flatter, and drier, until the outer surface layer becomes thin, fine, dry, slightly greasy scales, like fish-scales, of about the thickness of the very finest and driest bran. We are continually Shedding our Skin.
He spoke in an angry, husky voice. When Jacket stood his ground he reached for him with a hand upon which blood and fish-scales had dried. "Didn't I promise to give you to the soldiers if you came back to bother me?" Jacket was unabashed by this hostile reception. He grinned broadly and with an impudent eye he scanned the empty premises. "Where is my little fish?" he demanded.
