"You should give thanks to the imagination of your forefathers, my dear, that your doom is no worse. For I am going into a more barbaric limbo, into the Hell of a people who thought entirely too much about flames and pitchforks," says Jurgen, ruefully. "I tell you it is the deuce and all, to come of morbid ancestry." And he kissed Chloris, upon the brow.
Claude and Florent would not hear of the journeyman gardener, who was planting lettuces, leaving his work, but armed themselves with pitchforks and proceeded to toss the leaves into the manure pit. This occupation afforded them much amusement. Claude had quite a liking for manure, since it symbolises the world and its life.
The rest of you, he added, turning to the crowd, `go, get arms, guns, swords, pistols, scythes, pitchforks, pokers any thing, everything and meet me at the head of Market-gate away! "No king of necromancers ever dispersed his legions more rapidly than did Ogilvy on that occasion.
It was haymaking time and French women and children were tossing the hay on wooden pitchforks during hot days which came between heavy rains. Our men were marching through that beauty, and were conscious of it, I think, and glad of life. Boulogne was a port through which all our youth passed between England and the long, straight road which led to No Man's Land.
And just then it began to rain again, and they all hurried to carry in their things; and when they got them all in the tree again Mr. 'Coon and Mr. 'Possum began to straighten them, but Mr. Crow said he thought he would go outside a little and enjoy the shower.

They managed in the nick of time to swing the gates together, and the heavy wooden bar was thrown across them. The orange party was now triumphant, but very unhappy, because it was able to do no further mischief.

I covered this in record time, everything rattling and seeming to make a most deafening noise, as though all the devils in Hell were after me with red-hot pitchforks, expecting to hear a bullet whistle by every moment.
As we returned, I called in at an ironmonger's, where I bought some thin hemp rope and an iron rack pulley, like those used in Lancashire for hauling up the ceiling clothes racks, which you will find in every cottage. I bought also a couple of pitchforks. "'We shan't want to touch it," I said to the landlord; and he nodded, rather white all at once.
A band of half-drunken "patriots" tried to force their way into the park one day, with the intention of cutting down the trees and pillaging the château, but all the villagers instantly assembled, armed with pitchforks, rusty old guns and stones, and dispersed the rabble.
While he hesitated, while he struggled to measure the distance from door to window and back, a new sound was heard in the street: three horsemen came trotting up from the end of the village, and in them Sárvölgyi recognized, from their uniforms, the country police. Then the bell began to ring, and the peasants came out of their doors, armed with pitchforks and clubs: noisy crowds collected.
