Then the charioteer fell amongst the horses, and Conall Carna, the beauty of the Ultonians the battle-winning and ever-victorious son of Amargin, was shot out in front upon the road, and fell there upon his left shoulder, and his beautiful raiment was defiled with dust; and when he arose his left hand hung by his side, for the shoulder-bone was driven from the socket, owing to the violence of the fall.
Every third girl now received a large empty gourd, a grooved board, and the dry shoulder-bone of a sheep. Laying the board on the gourd, she drew the bone sharply across the edges of the wood, thus producing a sound like a watchman's rattle. They danced once on each side of the square; then retired to a house and rested fifteen minutes; then recommenced their trot.
As the police believe the certificates he has produced to be also forged, he is detained in prison until an answer arrives from our Consul in Syria. Madame Letitia did not resign without tears the relic he had sold her; and there is reason to believe that many other pieces of her collections, worshipped by her as remains of saints, are equally genuine as this shoulder-bone of Saint John.
But the other stood still, and when the spear-head was nigh his shield, he lightly turned it aside, and as Sir Bagdemagus swept by, the knight, with a quick fierce stroke of his sword, smote him so hard that the blade bit through the mail even to the shoulder-bone; whereby Sir Bagdemagus fell to the ground in a swoon.
"Ye es, to be sure. May I see him on the scale?" So Jan was carefully weighed by the judge himself, and scaled one hundred and forty-eight and one-half pounds.

"Re markable," said the judge; "especially in the weight. He certainly is finely proportioned.
He told her that he had brought with him from Syria the famous relic, the shoulder-bone of Saint John the Baptist; but that, being in want of money for his voyage, he borrowed upon it from a Grecian Bishop in Montenegro two hundred louis d'or.
The nor'-wester had freshened to a gale, and they were labouring heavily along, making fatal leeway towards the shoals. It was St. Lawrence's Day, Philip's patron saint, whose shoulder-bone he had lately added to the treasures of the Escurial; but St. Lawrence was as heedless as St. Dominic. The San Martin had but six fathoms under her.
He was standing hawklike on a slight rise in the sandy earth, motionless and silent. Beside him was a shorter figure: a pudgy man with a thin mustache, on whom the Egyptian headdress looked strangely out of place. It could only be Ser Perth! Hanson's staring came to an end as the lash cut down across his shoulders, biting through to the shoulder-bone.
The cattle, as the driving ceased, sank down wearily in the moss. A man with an iron ged turned, cursing to receive Wat's sword on his shoulder-bone. A light began to blaze from down the burn Sim saw the glitter of it out of the corner of an eye but the men in front were dark figures with white faces. The Bewcastle lads were stout fellows, well used to hold as well as take.
