"What is he now?" replied the same voice; "he is a wretched trunk, from which the boughs have one by one been lopped away, and which cares little how soon it is torn up and hewed into billets for the furnace." "Friend," said Dalgetty, "I am sorry for you; but PATIENZA, as the Spaniard says.
He just lopped down on the chair like so much sawdust, an' put his face down in his arm, the way a schoolboy does an' I swan he wa'n't much more'n a schoolboy, either. I s'pose if ever hell is in a man's heart, an' we mostly all see it there sometime, even if we don't feel it, why, there was hell in his then. "All of a sudden there was a rap on the hall door. He never moved, an' so I went.
Many a lagging craft fell into the enemy's hands, when, as a matter of course, the men, women, and children, on board, were horribly mutilated by the Spaniards, and were then sent drifting in their boat with the tide their arms, legs, and ears lopped off up to the city, in order that the dangerous nature of this provision-trade might be fully illustrated. Yet that traffic still went on.
The enemy will certainly search there. My advice is that we climb into a great, thick-leaved oak-tree that stands near the woods, but in an open place, where we can see around us." "Faith, I like your scheme, major," said Charles, briskly. "It is thick enough to hide us, you think?" "Yes; it was lopped a few years ago, and has grown out again very close and bushy.

It is evident that Burns was not sound on either essential.
Then Karna, with three crescent-shaped arrows, cut off the arms and the head of his son's assailant, whereupon the latter, deprived of life, fell down upon the ground from his car, like a Sala tree with its branches lopped off with an axe.
