"He struck out properly," he said, in surprise, turning his reddened hand with the palm inward. Little Nikas did not respond. He was not superstitious, but he did not like to hear ridicule cast upon the reality of things. "What shall I do?" asked Peter. "Are mate Jensen's boots ready?" The master looked at the clock. "Then you can nibble your shin-bones." It was time to stop work.
"Let not your Grace forget the shin-bones," said another voice, "bent outwards like the edge of a Saracen scimitar." "Rather like the bow of a Cupid, since he comes upon a lover's errand," said the Queen. "Gentle Neville, thou art ever prompt to pleasure us poor women, who have so little to pass away our idle moments. We must see this messenger of love.

"No wonder the Egyptian monuments get such a beautiful shine on them," I heard poor Higgs muttering in my ear again and again, for he was growing light-headed; "no wonder, no wonder! My shin-bones will be very useful to polish Quick's tall riding-boots. Oh! curse the lions. Why did you help me to salt, you old ass; why did you help me to salt? It's pickling me behind."
'Ca'se ef dere's one t'ing Cato do enjoy hit's dark meat, yas, suh, hit's come so he won't even look at light meat no mo', he so sick o' feedin' off'n dese yere white shin-bones." "Well, den, why is yo' glad Ah come up yere to live?" demanded Zachariah defensively. "'Ca'se o' dis yere ole Black Hawk." "Ah don' know nuffin' 'bout no ole Black Hawk."
My knees are as bare as a commissary's conscience, and I've knocked as much flesh off my shin-bones as would make a cornet in the hussars!" A regular roar of laughter from both of us apprized Dennis of our vicinity. "And it's laughing ye are? Wouldn't it be as polite just to hold a candle or lantern for me in this confounded watercourse?"
Whosoever undertakes to pass over an isthmus meets at every step misshapen blocks, as large as houses, in the forms of shin-bones, shoulder-blades, and thigh-bones, the hideous anatomy of dismembered rocks. It is not without reason that these striæ of the sea-shore are called côtes. The wayfarer must get out as he best can from the confusion of these ruins.

And I send orders for bread and meat and wood to the family, who would break the shin-bones of the first comer if I bid them. I try to do a little good. Ah! I know what I endured from hunger myself! Bijou has confided to me all her little sorrows.
"Did you mark the slot, sir?" inquired James. "I did, my liege," replied Nicholas. "And a long slot it was; the toes great, with round short joint-bones, large shin-bones, and the dew-claws close together. I will uphold him for a great old hart as ever proffered, and one that shall shew your Majesty rare sport."
"Ay, ay! It's no matter," said Lawrence, gathering up his huge, ungainly form from the floor; "but I have had your betters, Master Michael Lambourne, under the little turn of my forefinger and thumb, and I shall have thee, before all's done, under my hatches. The impudence of thy brow will not always save thy shin-bones from iron, and thy foul, thirsty gullet from a hempen cord."
