There fell a slight pause, and then Leicester said: "To-morrow at daylight, eh?" "Now, my lord, now!" "We have no seconds." "'Sblood! 'Tis not your way, my lord, to be stickling in detail of courtesy." "'Tis not the custom to draw swords in secret, Lempriere of Rozel. Also my teeth are not on edge to fight you."
Above all, his notorious meanness in his money matters, his stickling with his poor washerwoman for a halfpenny and with others for a farthing, and his uniform stinginess on all occasions rendered him notoriously disgusting to all his acquaintances, and affords, I should imagine, but a poor example for imitation....
Well, your hanner, without much stickling I gave up my Popery, joined the Orange lodge, learned the Orange tunes, and became a regular Protestant boy, and truly the Orange men kept their word, and made it answer my purpose. O the meat and drink I got, and the money I made by playing at the Orange lodges and before the processions when the Orange men paraded the streets with their Orange colours.
I warrant thee, that when the hump-backed Baron caught thee by the cowl, which he hath almost torn off, thou hadst been in a fair plight had they not remembered an old friend, and come in to the rescue. Why, man, I found them fastened on him myself; and there was odd staving and stickling to make them "ware haunch!"

Then it was her turn to hesitate, for bathing with Bernel was one thing, and with Mr. Gard quite another. "You'll show me another time, Bernel," said Gard, picking up his towel. "I wouldn't like to spoil your fun now." "But you wouldn't. Would he, Nance?" "I don't mind if you'll give me the cave." "All the caves you want," said Bernel, scornful at such unusual stickling on the part of his chum.
Months elapsed before it was clear to him that his grievance was nothing but idle trifling which originated in his over-anxious stickling at words. He reflected thoroughly on the question which the president had addressed to him, and came to the conclusion that he could not have answered otherwise.
"Then, if we are really on the National Forests, that is your territory, and we have the legal right to make an arrest?" Wayland laughed outright. If you don't see why, then you do not know the stickling of a Briton's sense of law and a Scotchman's conscience. Matthews took up his station behind the rock that abutted on the trail.
