He was also wounded with staves, and had many strokes of spears through his legs; for he and Grange, at the joining, cried to let their adversaries first lay down their spears, to bear up theirs; which spears were so thick fixed in the others' jacks, that some of the pistols and great staves that were thrown by them which were behind, might be seen lying upon the spears.
For a Musty Cask. Boil some Pepper in water and fill the Cask with it scalding hot. For a very stinking Vessel. The last Remedy is the Coopers taking out one of the Heads of the Cask to scrape the inside, or new-shave the Staves, and is the surest way of all others, if it is fired afterwards within-side a small matter, as the Cooper knows how.
"Is it now the time to fight with staves? Where is thy sword called Hauteclere with its crystal pommel and golden guard?" "I lacked time in which to draw it," replied Oliver, "there was such need to strike blows fast and hard." But now he drew his shining Hauteclere from its scabbard, and with it he dealt such blows that Roland cried, "My brother art thou, Oliver, from henceforth.
But I wanted to see what was beyond the wall one of those whims that beset the soberest men. I rolled a dissolute water-butt to the foot of it, and gingerly balanced myself on its rotten staves. This gave me a grip on the flat brick top, and I pulled myself up. I looked down on a little courtyard with another wall beyond it, which shut off any view of the park.
There is neither Shiah nor Sunni, forbidden nor idolater, in Love; and the Nine Bars are but nine little fagots that the flame of Love utterly burns away. In truth, I would have taken Her; but what could I do? The headman would have sent his men to break my head with staves. I am not I was not afraid of any five men; but against half a village who can prevail?
To the banker who knows only bankers, the world seems one great bank filled with money, accompanied by people. The prison doors of uniformity are closed inexorably upon them. And then what happens? Why, when anything goes wrong with their trumpery account books, or their trashy money, these poor folk are like blind men who have lost their staves.
"I hope I may have a chance of showing that I am grateful, some day, though it isn't likely, I'll allow." The Amity was at length ready for sea. She was bound out to Riga for staves, a somewhat dangerous voyage in the autumn. Captain Mudge came to wish the widow and her granddaughter farewell.
But there is not, and the red eye does not care whether the thing beneath its still wings stays or staves. The sister-panel hangs in the Indian Ocean and tells a story, but is none the worse for that. Here you have hot tropical sunlight and a foreshore clothed in stately palms running out into a still and steamy sea burnished steel blue.
Splendid staves have been shipped to me from this latter county, coming from the neighborhood of Korbel. Yew is an evergreen tree with a leaf looking a great deal like that of redwood, hemlock, or fir at a distance. It is found growing in the mountains, down narrow canyons, and along streams. It likes shade, water, and altitude. Its bark is reddish beneath and scaly or fuzzy on the surface.
There was a little eight-day clock on a bracket which had been made by hand pasteboard darkened with umber and varnished; a tiny little set of shelves made of the wood of cigar-boxes; and alas, the shifts of poverty to be gay! an easy-chair made of the staves of a barrel and covered with poor chintz.
