"I would much rather have rheumatism than itchy stockings," she protested quite gravely. "I don't mind a bit, Aunt Pike. And well, you see we can't be sure that we shall have an old age, or rheumatics." Mrs. Pike grew really angry. "Put on those stockings at once, miss, and fasten them to your suspenders. Kitty, fasten yours too."
One night she got fidgety an' nervous with the lonesomeness of it, an' she got up about one o'clock an' fired her revolvers out the window, just for sport, you know, like a feller sometimes will when he's well, when his soul gets kind o' itchy like, an' it purt' nigh started a riot. She said 'at we wouldn't never believe how different the people was down there.
"'Itchy' McGuire called to see me day before yesterday. He's met Rives. If I were you I'd hunt me up a nice little island somewhere in the Tropics where you can live with the rest of the monkeys; they might elect you to Parliament or crown you king or something. Rives is one bad actor and he's sore good and sore." Podmore's attempted laugh had no mirth in it.
"If you please, ma'am, I was sent to mend a lock on a door." "What lock? On what door?" Mary Hope passed a palm down her other cheek, thus obliterating another rivulet that had ceased to flow tears and was merely wet and itchy. "If you please, ma'am, you can search me."

The first week of March had given promise of spring and stirred Carol with a thousand desires for lakes and fields and roads. The snow was gone except for filthy woolly patches under trees, the thermometer leaped in a day from wind-bitten chill to itchy warmth.
"Will I tell him you're itchy about the houghs? eh? However, the thruth is, that they," and he pointed to the stocks "might be justice, but no novelty to you. The iron gathers is an ornament you often wore, an' will again, plase goodness."
He tiptoed to the table, blew out the lamp, remembered that he should only have turned down the wick, tried to raise the chimney, burnt his fingers, snatched his handkerchief, dropped it, groaned, picked up the handkerchief, raised the chimney, put it on the table, searched his pockets for a match, found it, dropped it, picked it up from the floor, dropped his knife from his pocket as he stooped, felt itchy about the scalp, picked up the knife, relighted the lamp, exquisitely adjusted the chimney and again blew out the flame.
Listen carefully and don't get itchy trigger fingers. That ship is the Shudos. The Butcher's ship. It's a ten-man ship, and the most she could have aboard would be thirty, even if they jammed her full to the hull.
