Scotty scratched his head. "I don't know. Unless you want to walk. We could cross the tidal flats and hike to town." Rick vetoed that. "Too far and too slow. The barber would have time to cut twenty heads of hair before we got there." "How about asking Jerry to come for us?" "You've got it! He could come down the wood road and pick us up right behind the island. He knows the way."
Meantime the ape beat him, pulled his hair, and scratched him; and from time to time, the wicked beast stopped to look at his master, absolutely as if they understood each other. As for Cut-in-half, he laughed so loud, that if Gringalet had cried, the shouts of his master would have drowned his cries. It would seem as if this encouraged Gargousse, for he was more and more cruel to the child."
They carried news that it was good and right to be scratched with ghost-knives; that Jan Chinn was indeed reincarnated as a god of free food and drink, and that of all nations the Satpura Bhils stood first in his favour, if they would only refrain from scratching.
But by the third evening his shyness had worn off, so that he got on well. One evening, after a week of attendance, he was missing. The next morning he came to Jack's house with his face scratched and his eye bruised. "What's the matter?" asked Jack.
I wanted to go, but I felt that if I did, Bob would be affronted, so I gave way and let him lead, giving him a hoist or two as he seized the rope, and climbed, and scratched, and kicked, and got up half-way and then slid down again. "Here, Big," he shouted, "what's the good of bringing such a stupid little thin rope? It's no good." "Can't you get up?" cried Big. "No, nor anyone else. It's no use.
We have had an accident in our house; the cat fell from the mantelpiece and scratched her right ear; it even bled a little. That gave us great sorrow. My good Mathilde remained up and applied cold poultices to the cat all night long. For me she never remains awake." And another time, he said, even more bitterly, to another friend: "I felt rather anxious yesterday.
The doctor wants him to lie down as much as possible." He scratched his head. "Well, if he's really sick " He took the empty glass and walked away, explaining to the passengers that the party behind the curtains was too sick to get up just yet. She found herself the centre of sympathetic eyes. A motherly woman with an intimate smile sat down beside her.
I picked myself up in time to climb the tree, and was fairly out of reach when he gathered himself together and came at me more furiously than ever, holding in one paw the shreds of my breechcloth, for in the fall he had just scratched my back and cut my belt in two, and carried off my only garment for a trophy!
We put the least scratched and most respectable-looking member of the party in the van, and followed him, amid much barking of dogs, to the low porch; and after hearing a cheery "Come in," answering our modest tap at the door, we trooped in one after the other till the little room was quite full.
Wise acted on his own initiative from information received elsewhere, is that it?" Bucephalus scratched his woolly head, and answered: "Ah donno abo't de inflammation an' de oder misery, sah. Am it so bad as all dat, sah?" "I mean that he did it on his own account, and not because of anything that you may have told him." "All reckon so, sah," said Bucephalus, greatly relieved.
