Among these was a runty, pockmarked, weasel-eyed little chap who went by the name of Pete, and whom was not much thought of, being considered by those who knew him best to be more than half German by blood. Be this as it may, he now began to edge outward from the group and gradually gravitated towards a side door. However, he was already watched, and by no less a one than Byers' orderly.
Meanwhile, a number of flies were swarming in the sticky puddles on the table, or else crawling over his greyish beard and the brick-red skin of his motionless features. The boatswain winked in his direction, and remarked: "Half-seas over, HE is." "'Tis his way," a pockmarked, eyebrow-less sailor responded.
Jack Cockrell's teeth chattered but not with cold as the boat bobbed away from the side of the Revenge. Presently Joe recognized the pirate at the steering oar as a petty officer who had often befriended him. This fellow's swarthy, pockmarked face crinkled in a smile as he flourished his broad hat and yelled: "Stab my gizzard, but here's the London 'prentice-boy a-cruisin' on his own adventure."
The cold drove in the railroad workmen; cabmen and some poorly dressed, homeless people came in to warm themselves; there were passengers, also a few peasants, a stout merchant in a raccoon overcoat, a priest and his daughter, a pockmarked girl, some five soldiers, and bustling tradesmen.
A whole segment, indeed, had fallen inward. Its debris lay in confusion, blocking all the southern side of the platform. The bronze bars, which Stern well remembered two at each corner, slanting downward and bracing a rail had now wasted to mere pockmarked shells of metal.
He always kept at a sullen distance from people, who retaliated by making sport of him. "You, Nikolay! How's that?" she asked in surprise. Without replying he merely looked at the mother with his little gray eyes, and wiped his pockmarked, high-cheeked face with the broad palm of his hand. "Is Pavel at home?" he asked hoarsely. "No." He looked into the room and said: "Good evening, comrades."
He was in rare good humor, for him. His hat was lying beside him and he was in his shirt-sleeves, and his cruel gray eyes, pockmarked face and broken nose were lighted up with a frightful smile. He was good-natured now, but the next drink might set him wild. Hank stood behind the high pine bar, a broad but nervous grin on his round, red face.
Nowadays vaccination is general, and the number of pockmarked faces seen is much smaller than it used to be in fact, the pockmarked are now the exception. But, as far as I have been able to ascertain, the Ministry of Smallpox has not been abolished, and possibly its members, like those of some more mundane ministries, continue to draw large salaries for doing little or no work.

She filled a kulacs for the baron and placed it on the table before him. Hátszegi took a good pull at it, dried the mouth of the kulacs and passed it on to the old pockmarked vagabond who, after raising his cap, took a little drop himself and then passed it on to the others. "Well, old fellow, is the wine good?" "Wine is always good." "Have you had enough?" "One can never have enough."
I started out to speak of the view typical China, deforested hills close by, all pockmarked at the bottom with graves, like animal burrows and golf bunkers; peasants' stone houses with thatched roofs, looking like Ireland or France; orchards of pomegranates with lovely scarlet blossoms and other fruits; some rice fields already growing, others being set out, ten or a dozen people at work in one patch; garden patches, largely melons; in the distance the wall stretching out for miles, a hill with a pagoda, a lotus lake, and in the far distance the blue mountains also the city, not so much of which was visible, however.
