About forty men, with Captain Parks and Lieutenant Stinger, passed to the left, the balance to the right, and boldly charged on, till, foremost with those of other regiments, they stood on the strongest point of the enemy's works, masters alike of his guns and position.... Captain Parks reports his skirmish-line to have charged upon and captured one gun, that otherwise would have been hauled off."
"Auld year's like to die o' frost by the looks of it a stinger, I tell 'e. Anybody seen Farmer Endicott? I've been looking for un since noon wi' a message from my faither-in-law." "I gived thicky message this marnin'," cried Billy. "Ess, I knaw you did; that's my trouble. You gived it wrong. I'll just have a pint of the treble X then. 'T is the night for 't."

Then he chuckled, and said to the man nearest: "Look at that there boy! He's a rum un, and no mistake.
A groan arose from all Meadow Brook. The second batsman shot a stinger to Princeman, who dropped it, and that batsman immediately thereafter roosted on first, crowing triumphantly; but the hot liner allowed Princeman a graceful opportunity. He complained of a badly hurt finger on his pitching hand.
"Well, I hope I can take a beating in as English a spirit as anybody," said the Major. This was lucky for Captain Puffin: he had thought it likely that he would say just that, and had got a stinger for him. "And it worries you to find that your hopes are doomed to disappointment," he swiftly said. Major Flint stepped in a puddle which cooled his foot but not his temper.
