"It isn't, Daddy. Holly Mount's much the worst. It's an awful hill." "That," said Anthony, "is why you're forbidden to ride down it. You've got to be spanked for this, Nicky." "Have I? All right. Don't look so unhappy, Daddy." Anthony did much better this time. And Anthony had handicapped himself again by doing it through the cloth. He drew the line at shaming Nicky. But he had done it.
The part of the body thus brought into most prominence was denuded of clothing and "spanked" from one to twenty times, as Hill ordered, by the "shake" in same strong and willing hand. It was very amusing to the bystanders. The "spankee" never seemed to enter very heartily into the mirth of the occasion. As a rule he slept on his face for a week or so after, and took his meals standing.
'Jathrop Lathrop, I says to him, all forgettin' how big he'd got 'n' only rememberin' what a bother he's always been, 'Jathrop Lathrop, you let that soakin' be a lesson to you 'n' march right straight home this instant, 'n' 'f you want to think of me, think 't if I hear any more about your feelin's the feelin' you'll have best cause to talk about 'll be the feelin' o' gettin' spanked."

Lily looked at Johnny Trumbull. The great fact did remain. He had been spanked, he had thrown his own aunt down in the dust. He had taken advantage of her little-girl protection, but he was a boy. Lily did not understand his why at all, but she bowed before it. However, that she would not admit. She made a rapid change of base. "What," said she, "are you going to do next?" Johnny stared at her.
She was deadly serious now. "I done spanked you heap o' times, an' 'tain't so long ago, an' you ain' too big yit; no, suh."
"The Kid," Weary explained, "put the nose bag on Silver and then left the stable door open." "They ain't spanking him for it, are they?" Andy demanded belligerently. "By gracious, how'd a kid know any better? Little bit of a tad like that " "Aw, they don't never spank the Kid!" Slim defended the parents loyally. "By golly, they's been times when I would-a spanked him, if it'd been me.
"What the deuce " "No," said Peter, "you're not sick. Your eyeballs is as clean as new milk; your skin is as pink as a spanked baby. No, you're not sick, so to speak!" There was another silence, Ambrose squirming a little and blushing under Peter's calm, speculative gaze. "Have you anything against me?" Peter finally inquired. "If you have, out with it!" The young man shook his head unhappily.
"I don't deny that an odd man here and there, if he's caught young and trained up proper, and if his mother has spanked him well beforehand, may turn out a decent being. YOUR husband, now, isn't so bad, as men go, from all I hear. I s'pose" Miss Cornelia looked sharply at Anne over her glasses "you think there's nobody like him in the world." "There isn't," said Anne promptly.
Then he sort o' picked him up an' shook him with a power o' langwidge, an' sot him down like a spanked kid. Then he clouted him over both lugs with a shower o' words wi' capitals, clumped him over the head wi' a bunch o' texts, an' thrashed him wi' a fact'ry o' trac' papers.
Ay! and thy ranchos have richer soil and many more cattle, but he has a library, Don Guillermo, and thou hast not. I spanked him then and there; but I never forgot what he said, and thou hast read what thou listed. I would not that the children of Alejandro Estenega should know more than those of Guillermo Iturbi y Moncada."
