Lastly she said this, 'Know that your Olaf of whom you are so fond dies within an hour and thus: He will be taken to the Hall of the Pit and there given leave to walk till the judges come. Being blind, you may guess where he will walk. Before this door is unlocked again I tell you he'll be but a heap of splintered bones.
"'By Jove! says he, 'the man whose feelings ain't the least dimmed by a broken leg horse rolled on him, you said? Splintered it, probably that man is one of the right sort. He'll do to tie to. "When we reached the ranch the boys were lined up to meet us. 'Hurry along! they called. 'Angey can't keep uncle amused all day! "So we hustled.
Had death or violence menaced her he could have done it, but without the incentive of the immediate horror he could never rise so far beyond himself. Susan climbed the rock's side to a plateau on its western face. The sun beat on her like a furnace mouth. Here and there black filigrees of shade shrank to the bases of splintered ledges. Below the plain lay outflung in the stupor of midday.
I doubt if any one here in Leauvite ever heard of it, but it's the irony of fate that he was more badly scarred by it than I.

Listening to these draggings and concussions, I thought me of the haunt from which they came; an isle full of metallic ravines and gulches, sunk bottomlessly into the hearts of splintered mountains, and covered for many miles with inextricable thickets.
A slug from it shattered Jackson's left shoulder, a ball sank to the bone in his left arm, and another ball splintered a board by his side. When the fight ended Jackson was found insensible in the entry of a tavern, with the blood pouring profusely from his wounds.
There he reared and struck at the wood with his great front hoofs; the boards splintered and shivered under the blows. As for the youth in the box, he remained quietly erect before this brute rage. A fleck of red foam fell on the white front of his shirt. He drew his handkerchief and wiped it calmly away, but a red stain remained.
