Every cow had been milked, and the calves raised by hand so as to have the milk for the young pigs till the early corn could be gathered. Milking was hard work, but Elizabeth Hunter's pride was up. Elizabeth's pride had had some sore pricks.
It was an odd sort of devotion at first, for it grew up like a tender plant surrounded on all sides by sharp pricks, straight in self- defence, and sensitive by avoiding all contact with things hurtful.
To her, a woman and a mother, to whom after all the body of her son is always dearer than that in him which is called a soul, to her it was horrible to see how these sticky, lightless eyes crept over his face, felt his chest, shoulders, hands, tore at the hot skin, as if seeking the possibility of taking fire, of warming the blood in their hardened brains and fatigued muscles the brains and muscles of people already half dead, but now to some degree reanimated by the pricks of greed and envy of a young life that they presumed to sentence and remove to a distance from themselves.

Miska swayed again dizzily, clutching at the Hindu for support. "Quick! fly!" he said, leading her to the door. "I will see he does not pursue!" "No, no! you shall shed no blood for me! Not even his.
It, too, realised the futility of kicking against so many pricks. On the other hand, Tom, with his heavy shaft and barbed point, relied on a single weapon. It seldom failed, for his right arm was strong and disciplined to a nicety.
She too flinched from pin pricks but not only made no effort to prevent them but would even stick out her tongue to have a pin stuck in it. The relationship of catalepsy to resistiveness is interesting but unfortunately complicated and unclear.
In the first realisation of his accident he had meekly bowed his head to Fate; but ever since he had, figuratively speaking, kicked against the pricks, and repaid the kindness of his companions by incessant grumblings and complaints.
