And we ought to be about it, too, for it won't be long before his discharge comes, and, once away, we should be in the lurch." "There seems so little hope there, major. Even the colonel has called him up and questioned him." "Ay, very true, but always when the old sergeant was sober. It is when drunk that Clancy's conscience pricks him to tell what he either knows or suspects."
Then the captain goes down into the cabin and does some arithmetic out of a book, using the things that his sextant had told him, and he finds just exactly where the ship was at noon of that day. Then he pricks the position of the ship on a chart, which is a map of the ocean, so that he can see how well she is going on her course.
Sometimes they walke abroad in the fields to make the souldiers shoot at pricks with their bowes, but their eating passeth: they will stand eating euen when the other do draw to shoot.
Living with Fiorsen was opening her eyes to much beside mere knowledge of "man's nature"; with her perhaps fatal receptivity, she was already soaking up the atmosphere of his philosophy. He was always in revolt against accepting things because he was expected to; but, like most executant artists, he was no reasoner, just a mere instinctive kicker against the pricks.

It was a new state of things to keep him without any pricks of conscience or restlessness on his part. He liked to have a quiet half-hour by the fire at night; and before I left him I used to put his books near him: his Bible, his Hebrew Psalter, his father's copy of Bishop Andrewes.
'Folly of a fool! he snorted to his neighbour, Savaric de Dreux: 'there pricks our lord the King, as if to a party of hawks. 'Wait, said Savaric. 'Where away now? 'To bandy gibes with Saint-Pol, pardieu. Where else should he go at this hour? 'Saint-Pol will never do him a villainy, said Savaric. 'No, no. But De Gurdun is there. 'Wait now, says Savaric again.

"Papa, don't let us go to Aunt Ursula," said Baby; "she pricks so when she kisses you." "Naughty boy.... Think of all we have to get into the carriage. Leon's rocking-horse, Louise's muff, your father's slippers, Ernestine's quilt, the bonbons, the work-box.
He was wondering if his sire had a suspicion who wrote it and was leading up to that. But Ryder, Sr., continued: "Do I care? The more they attack me the more I like it. Their puny pen pricks have about the same effect as mosquito bites on the pachyderm. What I am, the conditions of my time made me.
But presently there is the roll of a drum, and the scream of a fife in distress rises from below, and Angelina pricks up her ears. "I wish they'd come up 'ere," she murmurs wistfully; "I'd jump up like steam; I could just do a dance."
