George of England conquered so valiantly, each one of the revellers sought to snatch a raisin from the burning bowl without singe or scar. And he who drew out the lucky raisin was winner and champion, and could claim a boon or reward for his superior skill.
Sibnowans, or Sibnyons, Mr. Brooke's favorite tribe of Dyaks, of superior character. Singè, Dyak tribes. Songi Besar, large river. Sooloo, on the northeast of Borneo, a powerful piratical nest, the natives of which massacred the garrison of Balambangan in 1775. Sudahs, defences to wound the feet of attacking enemies.
'Un peu trop d'amour-propre, Frederick wrote to Darget, 'l'a rendu trop sensible aux manoeuvres d'un singe qu'il devait mépriser après qu'on l'avait fouetté. But now the monkey had been whipped, and doubtless all would be well. It seems strange that Frederick should still, after more than two years of close observation, have had no notion of the material he was dealing with.
"These citizen chuffs and clowns will press in amongst us, when there is but an inch of a door open. And what remedy? Just e'en this, that as their cash gies them confidence, we should strip them of it. Flay them, my lord singe them as the kitchen wench does the rats, and then they winna long to come back again.
"He has seen the splendid diamonds of the great señora, and has heard that they came from your magnificent store," Nick then went on to explain. "That is quite right," bowed Venner. "Many of them did come from here. Is Pandu Singe looking for some diamonds?" Nick promptly bowed, and noted a gleam of satisfaction in the depths of Venner's eyes.
Take two large fleshy Capons, not too fat; when you have draw'd and trussed them, lay them upon a Chafing-dish of Charcoal to singe them, turning them on all sides, till the hair and down be clean singed off.
A manly resolution now roused itself in Lord Giblet's bosom that he would be the person to beat Mrs. Jones at last. But yet he doubted. If he were asked the question by anyone having a right to ask he could not deny that he had proposed to marry Miss Patmore Green. "So you've come down to singe your wings again?" said Mrs. Houghton to her cousin Jack.
"Does the great Pandu Singe wish to purchase diamonds?" he asked, bowing. "Diamonds, yes! Are they not for the empress?" "I should have thought of that, certainly." "Only diamonds will answer." "Of large size and the first water?" "The great Pandu Singe would consider no other." "Alas, then, this is most unfortunate!" Venner now exclaimed, glancing about the store.
Six-shooters were discharged so close to the leaders' faces as to singe their hair, yet, under a noonday sun, they disregarded this and every other device to turn them, and passed wholly out of our control. In a number of instances wild steers deliberately walked against our horses, and then for the first time a fact dawned on us that chilled the marrow in our bones, the herd was going blind.
And, as Sonnini notes to propose the process in Egypt under the Beys might have cost a Frankish medico his life. Even serious writers like Al- Hariri do not, as I have noted, despise the indecency. There is a venerable Joe Miller about a schoolmaster who, wishing to singe his long beard short, burnt it off and his face to boot: which reminded him of the saying.
