Bad luck to my uncle O'Haggarty, that had the tan-yard here at all! He might have lived as became him, without dirtying his hands with the tanning of dirty hides." "I was just going," said John Gray, "to comfort you, Simon, for the laming of your horse, by observing that, if you had your tan-yard in order again, you could soon make up the price of another horse." "Ohoo!
Laming had possession of three or four hundred acres, and to the surprise of the Court it was found that he had paid a fair price for them, and his title was allowed. Moreover, his knowledge of the language and customs of the Maoris was found to be so useful that he was appointed a Judge of the Land Court. The men who laid the foundations of empire in the Great South Land were men of action.
She can go with Eggis, he told himself, and simultaneously spoke out the thought. "I saw you on the bridge the other day." But if he had imagined this would rouse her, he was wrong. "Yes?" she said indifferently, and with that laming want of curiosity which prevents a subject from being followed up. They sat in silence for some seconds. With her fingers, she pulled at the fringe of the tablecloth.

And here's Tom Tripe riding up-hill and down-dale, laming his horse and sweating through a clean tunic with a threat in his ear and a reward promised that he'll never see a smell of while the princess is smoking cigarettes " "In very good company!"

He had flushed often, during the first day, under the shrewd glances of the voyageurs, who read the inexperience in his bright clothes and white hands. Menard knew, from the way his shoulders followed the swing of his arms, that the steady paddling was laming him sadly. He would allow Danton five days more; at the week's end he must be a man, else the experiment had failed.
Here, on the second of these days of love and sunshine, she saw, with absolute clearness, that neither this nor any other day had anything extraordinary to give her; and sitting silent at dinner, under an arbour of highly-coloured creeper, she was overcome by such a laming discouragement, that she laid her knife and fork down, and could eat no more.
My uncle was terrifically glum, and appeared to think it most audacious if ever I chanced to laugh or sing or express any sentiment but deep grief and contrition in his presence. Mrs Hudson read me long lectures about the evil of slaying small children and laming barbers, and I was occasionally moved to tears at the thought of my own iniquities.

The close of the first stage of the twofold wrestle is marked by the laming of Jacob.
Only she must commit herself glaringly, and be cast off by the world as well. Contemplating her in the form of a discarded weed, he had a catch of the breath: she was fair. He implored his Power that Horace De Craye might not be the man! Why any man? An illness, fever, fire, runaway horses, personal disfigurement, a laming, were sufficient.
