Even the mother was always offering me things, though I knew she expected substantial presents in return. We stood there in friendly silence, while the feeble minstrel sheltered in Ántonia’s hair went on with its scratchy chirp.

Here, too, is a generous Norman armoire with carved oaken doors swung on bar-hinges of shining steel, and a centre-table provided with a small bottle of violet ink, a scratchy pen and an iron seal worked by a lever a seal that has grown dull from long service in the stamping of certain documents relative to plain justice, marriage, the official recognition of the recently departed and the newly born.
On her I'll grate As sure as fate. This was certainly a disagreeable prospect, for Grater must prove very scratchy indeed. "I surely must keep away from him," Hortense reflected.

"Yes, it's me," Alligator answered.
When she felt that old scratchy felt against her cheek it somehow brought back the memory of his strong young shoulder, where she used to lay her head sometimes when she felt tired and he would fold her in his arms and brush her forehead with his lips and pat her shoulder.

In a moment he was again near her with the letter in his hand. "Yes, that's it that's the letter," she said, with wondering and reproachful eyes. "I remember the little scratchy blot from the pen on the envelope.
Utterly exhausted and half blind with fatigue Zoie lifted the coverlet and slipped beneath it. Her first sensation was of touching something rough and scratchy, then came the awful conviction that the thing against which she lay was alive.
There was an incongruity between the boldness of the thing she was about to do, and the hard and fast limitations of her lot, which the sight of those humble properties brought sharply home to her. The first pen she took up was stiff and scratchy; the sound of it was like a challenge to the outer world to come and pass judgment upon her.
"I was not in his sacré buckwheat!" declared Tanrade, and he described the entire incident of the morning. "Take monsieur's denial in detail," commanded the tall one. His companion produced a small bottle of ink and began to write slowly with a scratchy pen, while we stood in silence. "Kindly add your signature, monsieur," said the tall one, when the bottle was again recorked. Tanrade signed.
