'What is the matter? asked the voice dearest to him in the world the voice of Miss St. John. He gave a cry of delight. Wrapped in the horse-cloth, Miss St. John did not know him. 'What is the matter? she repeated. 'Ow, naething, mem naething. Only I doobt we winna get ye hame the nicht. 'Is it you, Robert? she said, gladly recognizing his voice. 'Ay, it's me, and Mr. Ericson.
Just then, Frank came up to the superintendent. "There's gunpowder in the back-shop somewhere, I'm told, sir; shall I go in for it?" "No, Willders; you couldn't find it in the smoke. Take the branch, lad, and get up into that window above the door." Frank sprang to obey. At the same time, Mr Braidwood suddenly seized a horse-cloth, and dashed in through the smoke.
Accommodation for the traveler there was none not even for a traveler so easily accommodated as myself. The landlord had no food to give me, and as to a bed, he had none but a horse-cloth, on which his only child, a boy of eight years old, lay naked on the earthen floor.
Soothed perhaps by this prospect, and evidently feeling a sense of comfort and protection, the dog stretched out his thin, weary limbs, and soon, sharing the warm shelter of Tim's horse-cloth, slept profoundly. And thus the new friends made their first journey together.
The buildings were half falling, the gaping vestibules looked like cellar holes, strips of paper streaked the cracked and filthy window-panes, and vile rags hung about like flags of death.

She was not very graciously answered; but she was allowed an old frayed horse-cloth on which Thora might sleep, and for the rest she might see what she could find under the stairs in the turret, or in the chest in the hall window.
As soon as I opened my eyes, one of them poured a little spirits down my throat, and wrapping me up in a horse-cloth, they left me to meditate upon my misfortunes. I discovered that evening that I had, by the fortune of war, become the property of a Russian general, who had no time for making love. With him it was all ready made, as a matter of course.
It was just cooking and would be served up immediately, and she began spreading the table with a nice horse-cloth. Clementina whispered Henrietta to beware of poison, whereupon Henrietta told the landlady that she would have a bit of that nice dish, and when it came she really enjoyed it, though she did not know what it was, at which the landlady was infinitely pleased.
As she was going to replace the jacket, having abstracted the paper, and bullets, etc., she saw a woollen gun-case made of that sort of striped horse-cloth you must have seen a thousand times appropriated to such a purpose.
