Their moccasins crunched on the sand and slipped several times on the stones beneath the weight of the limp, exhausted body, and I can still see every inch of the pared cedar branch he had used for a paddle on that lonely and dreadful journey.
In the foreground is that strange figure which is as familiar to us as the figures of those among whom we have been brought up the gigantic body, the huge massy face, seamed with the scars of disease, the brown coat, the black worsted stockings, the grey wig with the scorched foretop, the dirty hands, the nails bitten and pared to the quick.
"And the little one, with small eyes framed in red eyelids, pared down and slashed up like a thistle head?" "'Tis their horses that are worth seeing," said Oudarde, "caparisoned as they are after the fashion of their country!"
But there was to be no further increase of these odd sticks if I may call them so, in no irreverent mood after those innocent-looking parallel bars indissolubly linked Portsmouth with the capital of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All the conditions were to be changed, the old angles to be pared off, new horizons to be regarded.
Meanwhile he had finished dressing Master Jock brushed and combed his hair, pared his nails, shaved him, tied his cravat, and buttoned his coat comme il faut. "And now, sir, you may appear before your fellow-men." "Where's my pipe?" "Pipe! Tut-tut! Don't you know that, first of all, you must go to church to pray? nobody smokes till after that."

After having first well pared the hoofs with my churi, I applied each petul hot, glowing hot, to the pindro. Oh, how the hoofs hissed! and, oh, the pleasant pungent odour which diffused itself through the dingle!—an odour good for an ailing spirit.
The general thickness of the sheet is from a foot to a foot and a half; and this is the chief source from which the fermier draws the ice, as it is much more easily quarried than the solid floor. Some of my friends went to the cave a few weeks after my visit, and found that the whole sheet had been pared off and carried away.
Verkan Vall took the wafer and pared off three of the four edges, which showed black where they had been fused. Unfolding it, he found, as he had expected, that the pyrographed message within was in the alphabet and language of the First Paratime Level: Vall, darling: Am I glad you got here; this time I really am in the middle, but good! The Assassin, Dirzed, who brings this, is in my service.
