I could imagine her gentle face clouded with the trouble that sprang from devising an' answer to that question; I could picture her innocent eyes cast down, her delicate cheeks pinked by some measure of shame, as at last, in a low, stifled voice, the four words broke from her "I love him, monsieur." Ah, Dieu! To hear her confess it so!
"He is come to great repute, I hear!" said I, my hungry gaze wandering. "Verily he hath, Mart'n; the King do honour him vastly especially since he pinked a strutting, quarrelsome gentleman through the sword-arm in St. James's Park, and him a nearl, pal!" "At last!" says I. "Anan, pal?" he questioned, but looking where I looked.
'If I had to account for it, I should say, hotter blood, cool nerve, quick brain. 'Hum. Where are we, then? 'We don't shine with the small sword. 'We had men neatly pinked for their slashings in the Peninsula. 'We've had clever Irishmen. 'Hot enough blood! This man Morsfield have you crossed the foils with him?
Something in my voice must have told her what had happened. "What do you mean?" she asked in a frightened tone. "Did I shoot anyone?" "Yes," I said slowly. "You pinked me. Right in the shoulder. It's only a flesh-wound; nothing to worry about." "I've hurt you and I didn't mean to," she wailed. I reached out and seized her by the shoulders.
And indeed, with a sudden spasm, the long-suffering creature becomes motionless, lies at full-length, flat upon the ground. There is not a movement; the inertia is complete. Is the Scorpion dead? It really looks like it. Perhaps he has pinked himself with a thrust of his sting that escaped me in the turmoil of the last efforts.
Ormond and Captain Butler must tickle sword-points one day, that is no cause for dolorous looks or hot words no! Rather is it a family trick, a good, old-fashioned game that all boys play, and no harm, either. Have I not played it, too? Has any gentleman present not pinked or been pinked on that debatable land we call the field of honor? Come, kinsmen, we have all had too much wine or too little."
"Why, then, I suppose," said Lowestoffe, "you have been tilting, my lord, and have pinked your man; in which case, and with a purse reasonably furnished, you may lie perdu in Whitefriars for a twelvemonth Marry, but you must be entered and received as a member of their worshipful society, my lord, and a frank burgher of Alsatia so far you must condescend; there will be neither peace nor safety for you else."
There were little cupboards on either side of the fireplace, and in the recesses, ill-made shelves packed with books, and enriched with pinked American cloth. There was a dictionary lying face downward on the table, and the open bureau was littered with foolscap paper and the evidences of recently abandoned toil.
One nail had hit between two bricks and got home, and from this depended, sustained a little insecurely by frayed and knotted blind-cord, Parload's hanging bookshelves, planks painted over with a treacly blue enamel and further decorated by a fringe of pinked American cloth insecurely fixed by tacks.
For that, having a great desire to obey the pleasure of the king, I armed myself from toe to top with belly furniture, of the soles of good venison-pasties, to go see how my grape-gatherers and vintagers had pinked and cut full of small holes their high-coped caps, to lecher it the better, and play at in and in.
