When it became understood, however, that certain of the thieves might actually be sent to the penitentiary, then who so loud in their denunciation as the public? Why, Stone had robbed them right and left; why, Stone was an enemy to mankind; why, Stone and all his friends were monsters whom it were a good and a holy thing to skewer and flay and cast into everlasting brimstone!
Bushwhacking thus for a league, we circumvented the peril, and came upon the river flowing fair and free. The trappers said adieu, and launched us. Back then they went to consult their traps and flay their fragrant captives, and we shot forward. That was a day all poetry and all music. Mountain airs bent and blunted the noonday sunbeams.
But by and bye when I recover, I shall take one by one of you and flay your skin off for you." Ting Erh, a young maid, was struck with dismay, and ran up to her with hasty step. "Miss," she inquired, "what's up with you?" "Is it likely that the rest are all dead and gone, and that there only remains but you?" Ch'ing Wen exclaimed. But while she spoke, she saw Chui Erh also slowly enter the room.
But their impatience was excited by another and more acrid longing: Matho's death has been promised for the ceremony. It had been proposed at first to flay him alive, to pour lead into his entrails, to kill him with hunger; he should be tied to a tree, and an ape behind him should strike him on the head with a stone; he had offended Tanith, and the cynocephaluses of Tanith should avenge her.
"Now, I'll tell ye what it is, boys," said he at length, "if ever you catch me going on an expedition of this sort again, flay me alive that's all don't spare me. Pull off the cuticle as if it were a glove, and if I roar don't mind that's what I say."
This is environed with a magnificent prospect of gardens, woods, and meadows. Its territory extends above twenty leagues in length, and grazes a great number of wild bulls and cows. In this village scarce dwell any others than hunters and butchers, who flay the beasts that are killed.
In fact, this one was not a demon at all, but a liberator: the demon, she perceived, stalked behind him, and his name was Notoriety. It was he who would flay her for coquetting with the liberator. What if she were flayed? Once married to Chiltern, once embarked upon that life of usefulness, once firmly established on ground of her own tilling, and she was immune.
In the alliance with Karnia he had given the Terrorists a scourge to flay the people to revolt. Now he waited for the King's death. Waited numbly. For, with the tolling of St. Stefan's bell would rise the cry for the new King. And there was no King. In the little room where the Sisters kept their medicines, so useless now, Hedwig knelt at the Prie-dieu and prayed.
Wherefore have we the knout, if it cannot flay the back of a beauty?" "Yes, wherefore have we the knout?" exclaimed Elizabeth, with a joyous laugh. "Ah, Lestocq, you are an exquisite man, you always give good advice. Ah, this beautiful Countess Eleonore shall be made acquainted with the knout!"
When the plot has been explained, viz.: that the women refuse intercourse to their husbands until after peace has been declared Calonice: "But suppose our poor devils of husbands go away and leave us" Lysistrata: "Then, as Pherecrates says, 'we must flay a skinned dog, that's all."
