"But that isn't safe; she may lose her way, or get frightened. Why did you let her go, children?" No one answered; a little cloud seemed to have fallen on the merry party. Polly again had a pinprick of uneasiness in her heart, and a vivid recollection of the highest mountain which she was certainly not trying to climb. The Doctor said he would go at once to look for Flower.
I think that the first thing I said to you was that this strike, if it took place, would be like the pinprick on an elephant's hide. I want to teach you how to stab!" There was a murmur of voices approving this time, at any rate. "Can't you see," Maraton continued, "that Society can easily deal with one strike at a time? That isn't the way to make yourself felt.
She pressed the inside of the ring upon her third finger, and a ray of green fire seemed to shoot forward. "I guess I'm up against it," he growled, taking a step forward. "I'll have something of what's coming to me, if I swing for it." His arm was suddenly around her, his face hideously close. He gave a little snarl as he felt the pinprick through his shirt sleeve.
The exterior of the bare and deserted chapel, long since unconsecrate, was dull and lifeless. Inside, however, began the march of strange things. First of all, the pinprick of light of a tiny electric torch seemed as though it had risen from the floor, and Hassan, pushing back a trap-door, stepped into the bare, dusty conventicle.
To Carthoris the strangest part of the battle had been the terrific toll taken by the bowmen with their relatively puny weapons. Nowhere that he could see was there a single wounded green man, but the corpses of their dead lay thick upon the field of battle. Death seemed to follow instantly the slightest pinprick of a bowman's arrow, nor apparently did one ever miss its goal.
The cavalry horses and transport animals suffered from bursati, and even a pinprick expanded into a large open sore. It is doubtful whether the brigade could have been considered fit for active service after September. All the Europeans suffered acutely from prickly heat. Malarial fever was common. There were numerous cases of abscess on the liver.
"Louise's pin," said Matt, as placidly as if that were quite the place for it, and its function were to prick her father in the cheek. He went and pinned it into her scarf, and then he said, "It's about Northwick, I suppose." "Yes," said his father, still furious from the pinprick. "I'm afraid the miserable scoundrel is going to run away."
I say, unhesitatingly, that the main obstacle to women getting the vote is militancy and nothing else. Its practitioners really seem to think that they can terrorize and pinprick Parliament into giving it to them; and until they learn something of the people they are dealing with, their whole agitation, so far as the House of Commons is concerned, is simply and utterly damned.
"Let us set our hands to the side and overturn it, rather," Seraphina said, with an indignation of high command. I said no more. If I could have taken O'Brien with me into the other world, I would have died to save her the pain of so much as a pinprick.
"The Bishop was all right," she said, with an emphasis so caustic as to catch and hold his attention. Used as he had become, the past two years, to pinpricks of this sort, his colour betrayed how much the present pinprick hurt him. None the less, he still held on to his temper. "And I wasn't?" he queried, with an effort at a smile. "Sorry, Catia. What's the trouble?"
