He had risen in the service by his merits; but brought away little from the wars, excepting a soldier-like air, a gallant name, and a scar across the forehead. He brought back, however, a nature unspoiled by the camp. He was frank, open, generous, and ardent. His heart was quick and kind in its impulses, and was perhaps a little softer from having suffered: it was full of tenderness for Annette.
Old age was now coming fast upon him; he had been an able fellow in his younger days, and a gallant one, too, for he had a large scar over his eyebrow caused by the stroke of a cutlass from another negro while the Daddy was engaged in an intrigue.
I'll to my Study, for I cannot rest, Till I this weighty Mystery have discuss'd. SCENE V. The Garden. Enter Scaramouch with a Ladder. Scar.
The light fell full on the ragged, faded silk of the piano, and on the long scar across its lid. It was like a poor, shabby relation. It stood there in the quiet room, with its lid shut, patient, reproachful, waiting for you to come and play on it. When Mary thought of the piano her heart beat faster, her fingers twitched, the full, sensitive tips tingled and ached to play.

And how often did she turn from her home to the wilderness, slipping in noiseless moccasins back into the narrow, mysterious trails of the red man, where bended twig and braided rush and scar of bark held messages for her! Then came the time when the river and the forest were lost to her. The princess of the wilderness had become the wonder of a day at the Court of King James.
Ulysses sat by the fire, but ere long he turned away from the light, for it occurred to him that when the old woman had hold of his leg she would recognise a certain scar which it bore, whereon the whole truth would come out. And indeed as soon as she began washing her master, she at once knew the scar as one that had been given him by a wild boar when he was hunting on Mt.

Ralph Genvil, a veteran whose face had been seamed with many a scar, and who had long followed the trade of a soldier of fortune, stood apart from the rest, holding his horse's bridle in one hand, and in the other the banner-spear, around which the banner of De Lacy was still folded. "What means this, Genvil?" said the page, angrily.
The old scar showed strangely white in his purple face, as he left the mill, vowing vengeance for the affront. Rauchen and his daughter were now more solitary than ever. The father had forgotten the roaring stories he used to tell to the neighboring peasants, over foaming flagons of ale, at the little inn; he sat at his mill-door and smoked incessantly.
