Wyndham, sir," comes raging to the stables and said I'd half-killed his best prize-winner, and had oughter be shot, and he gives the Master his notice. But Miss Dorothy she follows him, and says it was his Red Elfberg what began the fight, and that I'd saved Jimmy's life, and that old Jimmy Jocks was worth more to her than all the St. Bernards in the Swiss mountains where-ever they be.
She may think it prudent, as I have talked of letters, to believe me and make friends. I will not trust her, nevertheless." Tim went away, and very soon returned with an answer. "You are a foolish mad-cap, and I ought to shut my doors against you; you have half-killed me spoilt my gown, and I am obliged to keep my bed. Remember, in future, to be sure of the right name before you make an assertion.
I made as long a story as I could of my stay in Skunk's Misery when I took home the half-killed boy; of the filthy stuff I had spilled on my clothes, and how I had seen a wolf carry them off. "By George, I believe he liked the smell though I never thought of that till now!" "What?" Paulette gave a curious start that might have been wonder, or enlightenment.
In short, our inward being rules us, no matter what we do. You may reconcile two families who have half-killed each other, as in Brittany and in La Vendee during the civil wars, but you can no more reconcile the calumniators and the calumniated than you can the spoilers and the despoiled.

Well, there was nothing to be done but to give up our drive; for we couldn't bear to ride after a lame horse!" "I can't either!" Mollie interjected.
All he realised was the fact that on the one side was the man whom he had half-killed with the boat-hook, just about to stretch out his hand to seize him, on the other, those whom he dreaded far more, and with one quick movement he stepped on to the thwart of the gig, joined his hands, dived in, and disappeared from sight, in the muddy water.
"You speak in riddles, Captain," says my father at last; "and why are you eying Humphrey in that quizzical way?" "Why, bless my soul, don't you know? I thought it had been half over the county by this." "I know that that 'prentice lad Punchard hath half-killed young Vetch, and richly deserves what he will no doubt get tomorrow." "And is that all? Have you told only half your story, Humphrey?"
"Nor any one else, I suspect," answered Ireton, winking significantly. "It's a mysterious transaction altogether. But, as much as is known is this: Captain Darrell, who resides with Mr. Wood at Dollis Hill, was assaulted and half-killed by a party of ruffians, headed, he swore, by Mr. Wild, and his uncle, Sir Rowland Trenchard. Mr.
Some a good many of Macartney's men were killed or half-killed by our deadly blast, but not all. He had been more cautious than I guessed. I saw the rest of his men bunched some hundred feet from the smashed-out tunnel; saw Macartney, too, standing with them.
"An' what have I done, Miss Shadd," sez I, very bould, plantin' mesilf forninst her, "that ye should not pass the time of day?" "Ye've half-killed rough-rider Dempsey," sez she, her dear blue eyes fillin' up. "May be," sez I. "Was he a friend av yours that saw ye home four times in the fortnight?"
