'Say! be you agoin' to give me a check for that 'are, or not? growled the proprietor of bag No. 3, a short, pockmarked fellow, in a shabby overcoat. 'All right, gen'l'men. Here you are, says the functionary, rapidly distributing the three checks. 'Philadelfy, this? Yes, sir, 1092 1740.11 1020. All right. 'All aboard! shouted the conductor.
Here Irene was seized by a black eunuch a horrid, pockmarked man, whose upper lip was split right down so that all his teeth could be seen." "Just like the present Kizlar-Aga!" cried Musli laughing, "I fancy I can see him standing before me now!" "The Moor commanded Irene to fall on her face before the Sultana.
You are pockmarked"; and he pressed the poor fellow for that reason. To be over-protected was as bad as having no protection at all. Thomas Letting, a collier's man, and John Anthony of the merchant ship Providence, learnt this fact to their cost when they were taken out of their respective ships for having each two protections.
Afterwards, during many months as a wanderer in this war, I came to know the French soldier with the intimacy of long conversations to the sound of guns, in the first line of trenches facing the enemy, in hospitals, where he spoke quietly while comrades snored themselves to death, in villages smashed to pieces by shell-fire, in troop trains overcrowded with wounded, in woods and fields pockmarked by the holes of marmites, and in the restaurants of Paris and provincial towns where, with an empty sleeve or one trouser-leg dangling beneath the tablecloth, he told me his experiences of war with a candour in which there was no concealment of truth; and out of all these friendships and revelations of soul the character of the soldiers of France stands before my mind in heroic colours.
The passengers for Batu Beru, kneeling on the planks, were engaged in rolling their bedding of mats busily; they tied up bundles, they snapped the locks of wooden chests. A pockmarked peddler of small wares threw his head back to drain into his throat the last drops out of an earthenware bottle before putting it away in a roll of blankets.
Jack Cockrell knew them as abandoned villains who had boasted of many a bloody deed but the swarthy, pockmarked fellow had been in the boat which had saved the two lads from the drifting raft. This was enough to awaken a lively sympathy. Trimble Rogers gripped Jack's shoulder with a strength which made him wince and pointed a skinny finger at the boat.
Another company, a lucky one for not all the companies had vodka, crowded round a pockmarked, broad-shouldered sergeant major who, tilting a keg, filled one after another the canteen lids held out to him.
Go out of the village toward the east and you enter fields pockmarked by shell fire. For several miles you can walk from shell hole to shell hole. The whole country is a patchwork of these shell holes. At every few rods a new line of old trenches approaches the road and wanders away again. Barbed-wire entanglements run up and down the gently sloping hillsides.
Utterly drunk, Maria Antonia said: "Come back soon, damn soon!" On the morrow, Maria Antonia, who, though she was pockmarked and walleyed, nevertheless enjoyed a notorious reputation indeed it was confidently proclaimed that no man had failed to go with her behind the river weeds at some time or other shouted to Camilla: "Hey there, you! What's the matter?
