Ginger Dick smiled and took 'em up softly, and Peter Russet smiled too; but 'e wasn't best pleased to see old Isaac a-smiling in 'is sleep, as though 'e was 'aving amusing dreams. All Ginger found was a ha'-penny, a bunch o' keys, and a cough lozenge. In the coat and waistcoat 'e found a few tracks folded up, a broken pen-knife, a ball of string, and some other rubbish.
Immediately before the holidays, there was a prize to be written for, which prize was a handsome pen-knife. The Rev. Hugh Stevens, a gentleman in every respect exactly the reverse of Mr. Griffith, was the principal assistant and writing-master, who always decided which was the best written piece; and he at once declared that I was the winner.
So he cogitated and mournfully whistled slow tunes, as he cut himself out of his unaccustomed harness by the help of a pen-knife with a file-blade. Contains a full account of the interview of the Cash Customer with Doctor Wilson, the Astrologer, of No. 172 Delancey Street. The Fates decree that he shall “pizon his first Wife.” HOORAY!! DR. WILSON, No. 172 DELANCEY STREET.
Lifting a hand he chose at random, dislodged two leather cases, placed them on the floor, and with a blade of his pen-knife forced their fastenings. From the first the light smote radiance in blinding, coruscant welter. Here was nothing but diamond jewellery, mostly in antique settings. He took up a piece and offered it to the girl. She drew back her hand involuntarily.
Little wit makes meikle travel. Let them that are cold blow at the coal. Little may an old Horse do, if he may not neigh. Love hes no lack. Long standing, and little offering, makes a poor price. Leave the Court, ere the Court leave thee. Long ere you cut Falkland-wood with a Pen-knife. Light supper makes long life. Liked geir is half bought. Lucke and bone voyage.
Evidently this particular lead was meant to be drawn aside and admit the light. I hastened to the side and peered with him into the dirt-laden crack. Opening my pen-knife I scraped away the dirt and soon verified his conjecture that there was glass below. 'You're right! I cried in my excitement. 'It is glass.
Then this silly Mary with handkerchief, with india-rubber, and with pen-knife erased a stain of grief that had fallen upon her pretty story; sniffed back her tears; lifted again her pen. Now she wrote in an eager scrawl; nib flying.
Turner and the captain. I slept with a revolver beside me and with the door of the storeroom open. At some time shortly before three o'clock I wakened with a feeling of suffocation, and found that the door was closed and locked on the outside. I suspected a joke among the crew, and set to work with my pen-knife to unscrew the lock.
Mastin has given an instance in which the blade of a pen-knife remained in the brain six months, recovery following its removal. Camden reports a case in which a ball received in a gunshot wound of the brain remained in situ for thirteen years; Cronyn mentions a similar case in which a bullet rested in the brain for eight years.
It was nearly dark when they landed on a beach at the border of a forest of cocoa palms and in a few minutes Johnny had a dozen young nuts on the ground and was hacking at the tough husk of one with his knife. When the ape-faced end of the nut had been laid bare and the eye cut out with a pen-knife blade, he gave the nut to Dick, who was soon absorbing the most delicious drink of his life.
