And there was nothing she could do to make him pay. He was too insensitive to be reached by words, no matter how she pelted them at him. A sob welled up from her heart. She turned and ran into the house. Houck grinned, swung to the saddle, and rode up the valley. June would hate him good and plenty, he thought. That was all right. He had her in the hollow of his hand.
She recalled the label of fanatic which had been attached to him, how he had been threatened and pelted with rotten eggs for expressing his unpopular ideas and for burning the Constitution which he declared sanctioned slavery. With such a background, she told him, he should be able to recognize her right and Susan's to judge all parties and all men on what they did for woman suffrage.
When they were fairly on their way once more, Alexander and his companions were so daring that, whenever they could do it unobserved, they pelted the damsels with the remains of the corn, or sprinkled them with wine-drops.
"I'll be blowed if I'll drop him now," he gasped. "He ain't nothing but a bag o' bones, anyhow." Only a strong man in the hour of his best strength could have done it. With a defiant snort Herb charged through the choking dust-clouds, pelted by flying pebbles, sods, and fragments of sticks.

The seceders appealed to the Stadholder, pleading that at least they ought to be allowed to hear the word of God as they understood it without being forced into churches where they were obliged to hear Arminian blasphemy.
We stopped for a nooning at a strongly built little inn called the Schwarenbach. It sits in a lonely spot among the peaks, where it is swept by the trailing fringes of the cloud-rack, and is rained on, and snowed on, and pelted and persecuted by the storms, nearly every day of its life. It was the only habitation in the whole Gemmi Pass.

If they were ever heard of it was that they had been pelted in a riot.
I suspect she pelted me too, for she seems to have run away to hide herself." "No, she did not pelt you; she wanted to stop me, and you would have had another rosebud oh, so much bigger! if she had not held back my arm. Don't you know her don't you know Lily?" "No; so that is Lily? You shall introduce me to her."
