You appear, malefactor, to have committed crimes and of all these you have been proved guilty by the ingenious arrangement invoked by the learned recorder of my spoken word which render you liable to hanging, slicing, pressing, boiling, roasting, grilling, freezing, vatting, racking, twisting, drawing, compressing, inflating, rending, spiking, gouging, limb-tying, piecemeal-pruning and a variety of less tersely describable discomforts with which the time of this court need not be taken up.
After the others had filed into the traverses Captain Ribaut rested his right hand on the parapet, causing the little pencil of electric light to glow three times in quick succession. Then he sprang back into the nearer traverse. Bang! A shell landed in the vacated length of trench, tearing up the duck-boards and gouging the walls of the trench.
In these days taxi drivers made fifty francs a day in tips, and, as a Frenchman knows exactly what he wants and calculates to a nicety when he has enough, valuing rest and nutriment above even the delights of gouging foolish Americans, Alexina knew that it would be useless to argue and did not even waste energy in announcing her opinion of him for taking a fare under false pretenses.
He forgot his blistered heel and worked with prodigious energy and interest, receiving with dogged silent disdain the humorous sallies of the Desert Rat, to whom the other's sudden industry was a source of infinite amusement.

I refuse to devote my life to gouging out my neighbours' eyes to increase the profits of my trade. I put myself in his place, the place of the forgotten man, the consumer, the man you are organizing to exploit.

The idea of forming the record on tinfoil had been early abandoned, and in its stead was substituted a cylinder of wax-like material, in which the record was cut by a minute chisel-like gouging tool.
Abraham refused under provocation to have anything to do with "rough-and-tumble" fighting as also known as "scuffle and tussle," and "wooling and pulling" in short, these agreeable features promise to include all brutalities save gouging, which was unfashionable so far to the North.
"He tried gouging first, but I expected that; then he tried to throttle me, but I throttled a little harder. He's an ugly customer, as you said, but" Ravenslee laughed and glanced at his bloody knuckles "I don't think he'll be keen to rough it with me again just yet." "Bo, I guess you can be pretty ugly too say, when you laugh that way I feel kind of sorry for Bud."
