They marched and wheeled, and formed in close order and extended order, and various other simple manoeuvres, in very good style. While they were thus engaged, Eden rushed into the room, exclaiming, "Blackall has caught Bouldon, and is half-killing him; he says that he will teach him to disobey his orders. Haste haste, or I really believe he will do him an injury.
The wretched murderer had a wife, whom he was frequently in the habit, while in an intoxicated state, of kicking, pummelling, flinging mugs at, knocking down, and half-killing while in bed, by inserting in her mouth a considerable portion of a sheet or blanket.’ The speaker took another draught, everybody looked at everybody else, and exclaimed, ‘Horrid!’
Quisanté was not easy either, as his lined face and his high-strung manner showed; he was half-killing himself and he was not easy. So much hung on it; before all England he had backed himself to win, and in the strain of his excitement it seemed to him that the stake he laid was his whole reputation.
"English boy," said Bigley grinding his teeth with pain, while I felt the big drops gathering on my forehead, and was wroth with the doctor for being so cool and brutal. "English boy! eh?" he said. "Well, but boys are the stuff of which you make young men. Ha, ha, ha! What do you think of that?" "You're half-killing me, doctor!" groaned poor Bigley. "Not I, my lad.
One hand grip on the barrel and another on the stock, a good strong pressure of the wrists together, and that gaudy little weapon was effectually spiked. "I may come in safety now?" asked Weems, after watching this operation with a groan. "You won't be touched by me if you behave yourself, although you do deserve half-killing.
It ain't going to be any half-way beating, but a real, two-legged, two-fisted, he-man beating. I don't expect I'll kill you, but I'll come damn near to half-killing you." "But what can I do?" Charles almost whimpered. "Just one thing," was Liverpool's final word. "You just pray. You pray so hard that old dad gets by the police that he does get by. That's all. Go back to your blankets."
And while we were out, I began to feel sick and now, of course, he'll never be willing to take me to walk to be seen anywhere with me again! I can't bear it! I mind not having been square to him more than anything else more than half-killing mother, even! Oh, Sylvia, tell them, please, quickly! and have it over with tell them, too, that it was my own fault don't forget that part!
Beaten every year; but almost always returned next year, for a new beating, almost, though not altogether; having at length got one dreadful smashing-down and half-killing, which held him quiet for a while, so long as Magnus lived. Nay in the end, he made good his point, as if by mere patience in being beaten; and did become King himself, and progenitor of all the Kings that followed.
Thus among some tribes of Victoria "the common bat belongs to the men, who protect it against injury, even to the half-killing of their wives for its sake. The fern owl, or large goatsucker, belongs to the women, and, although a bird of evil omen, creating terror at night by its cry, it is jealously protected by them.
But I told you my dislikes were unreasonable; and it makes me hate him to think that he was quite happy away there in England all those five years, while Eldred was half-killing himself with work and misery." "Yes, I understand that. But it's all over now; and the harm's repaired." "I hope so, in a measure; though it's my belief that harm done can never really be repaired; only patched up."
