For I am no shaveling ignoramus, but a gentleman of birth; aye, and one who, though poor, is a near cousin of the marshal himself. I warrant the rascals who ran away would smart right soundly for leaving me behind. For Gilles de Sillé is no simpleton. He knows more than is written down in the catechism of Holy Church. None can touch my favour with my lord, no matter what they testify against me.
Yet do I love life the better, therefore, and I have read that 'to despise gold is to be rich." BELTANE. "Do all bowmen read, then?" BOWMAN. "Why look ye, brother, I am not what I was aforetime non sum quails eram I was bred a shaveling, a mumbler, a be-gowned do-nothing brother, I was a monk, but the flesh and the devil made of me a bowman, heigho so wags the world!
And apparently she abandoned her intention. But after a pause she added, rather as if speaking to herself, "I must send for Father Angelo, I suppose." "What?" snapped out the Commendatore, sitting up. "Yes," said Susanna, dreamily, "Father Angelo. He won't refuse to do what I ask him to." "Bah," said the Commendatore. "A priest a monk a shaveling a bare-toes."
"Kinswoman," said Harold, with a slight curl of his lip, "by me at least have thy prophecies ever passed as the sough of the air; neither in horror nor with faith do I think of thy incantations and charms; and I smile alike at the exorcism of the shaveling and the spells of the Saga.

This request not being heeded, he made a clumsy punch with his bayonet and brought the blood. The warrior uttered a grunt of pain, cast a surprised angry stare at the shaveling of a Paddy, and thrust with his lance. But he was probably weak and faint; the weapon merely tore the uniform. Sweeny instantly fired, and brought down another Apache, quite accidentally.
"They'll never make a shaveling of you. When your thews are grown it will not be on thuribles they'll spend their strength, or I'm a liar else. Be patient yet awhile, and we shall ride together, never doubt it." With that he pulled me down again to kiss me, and he clasped me to his breast so that the studs of his armour remained stamped upon my tender flesh after he had departed.
A fig for you and your shaveling Cardinal! The red-faced wine merchant drew his sword in a one-two. 'Why, you drunken fool, he said wrathfully, 'put that stick down, or I will spit you like a lark! 'Lark in your teeth! I cried, staggering as if the wine were in my head. 'And cuckoo, too! Another word, and I
Clear the room, officer, and let not one shaveling monk put his nose within again, until I send for him. I am weary of them all weary and broken-hearted." The doctor dropped back into his seat, with a face of profound disgust, and passed his hand over his forehead. The monks turned at the signal from the door, and Ralph watched the black lines once more file out. "There, Mr.
"Our chaplain attempted to teach me to write," he said, "but all my letters were formed like spear-heads and sword-blades, and so the old shaveling gave up the task." "Give it me," said the Templar. "We have that of the priestly character, that we have some knowledge to enlighten our valour." "Let us profit by your most reverend knowledge, then," said De Bracy; "what says the scroll?"
"King, that is no king, that is a monk, a shaveling!" retorted the Viking. "It is not, it is Brian himself," was the answer. Then Brodar caught his axe and rushed upon Brian. Taken unawares the king nevertheless rallied his strength which in his day had been greater than that of any man of his time, and still only half risen from his knees he smote the Viking a blow across the legs with his sword.
