It took Mahony the best part of the day to rouse him; to make him understand he was not to be horsewhipped; to purchase a fresh suit of clothing for him: to get him, in short, halfway ready to travel the following day a blear-eyed, weak-witted craven, who fell into a cold sweat at every bump of the coach.
"Was it not my privilege?" asked Paul, with a grim smile. There are some smiles more terrible than any frown. "No," answered Steinmetz, "I think not. It is not as bad as that. But it is bad enough, mein lieber! it is bad enough! I horsewhipped him first for myself. Gott! how pleasant that was! And then I kicked him out for you." "Why?" repeated Paul, with a white face.
Winters' intentions whatever they may have been, or at least to his meaning to make an assault upon me, but I leave to others to determine how much censure an editor deserves for inveigling a weak, non-combatant man, also a publisher, to a pen of his own to be horsewhipped, if no worse, for the simple printing of what is verbally in the mouth of nine out of ten men, and women too, upon the street.
Many a time, since this appearance of his at West Lynne, have I been obliged to lay violent control upon myself, or I should have horsewhipped him within an ace of his life." "If you horsewhipped him to death he would only meet his deserts."

Sharpe, you're a scoundrel, for speaking to me in this style damn my honor and blood, but you are. What do you know about that old vagabond?" "Captain," said Sharpe, who was a sturdy fellow in his way, "I'm no scoundrel; and I do know that you have just horsewhipped your notorious ould grandmother." "Fall back," said Phil, "and consider yourself arrested."
Dick is a good fellow and very fond of me, but, although you might not think it, he is almost absurdly proud of the family name and its unsmirched record. And if I had confided in him, and he had horsewhipped Henshaw, what good could that have done?
He had been publicly horsewhipped by a county attorney on the racecourse at Lichfield. His career, always unimportant, was ignominious when it was not incapable, and it was generally both the one and the other. All the statesmen of the day were not of the school of Grafton. There were numerous exceptions to the rule of Rigby.
"As for you, you calculating blackguard," her father addressed MacRae, "if you ever set foot on Maple Point again, I'll have you horsewhipped first and jailed for trespass after." For a second MacRae made no answer. His nostrils dilated; his blue-gray eyes darkened till they seemed black.
