'I gang t' the room, went on Archie excitedly, without paying any attention to Vandeloup's remark, 'an' the deil flew on me wi' a dirk, and wud hae split my weasand, but I hed the sense to bang the door to, and turn the key in the lock. D'y ca' that conduct for a ceevilized body?
"Why, sir, as I was ordhering the tenantry in wid the cars and carts to remove M'Loughlin's furniture, I seen this Weasand along wid Father Roche, and there they were the two o' them goin' from house to house; whatever they said to the people I'm sure I don't know, but, anyhow, hell resave hem." "Take care, Darby," said Val, "no swearing I fear you're but a bad convert."
Besides, we know that those who drink by little and little are looser than those who drink greedily and large draughts; for in the latter the very force drives it into their bladders, but in the former it stays, and by its stay is mixed with and moistens the meat thoroughly. And when he describes how Achilles killed Hector, he says, He pierced his weasand, where death enters soon; and adds,
I dare not. No trusting him." "He would come down, mad with brandy, make an infernal row, seize two or three by the throat, dash their heads against each other, blab, bully, and a knife would be out, and a weasand or two cut, and a carcase or so dropped into the Thames mine certainly his perhaps." "You say you can keep back this plot against him for two or three days?" "For two days yes.
"Why, they'd as lief draw a cutlass over his weasand, as they'd smash a ship's biscuit." Hunston's pale face grew crimson at these words. "That's good," he said; "they're men of spirit." "That they are." "And the rest of the crew; what do they say of it?" "Why, they are all up about it; all to a man. So if you have a good thing to offer, I'll undertake to say as they'll volunteer to a man."

Then she unsheathed the poniard and went up to Sharrkan's head and she drew the knife across his throat and severed his weasand and hewed off his head from his body.
"Ay, Will," answered Ganlesse carelessly; "I think I have seen thee wave thy whinyard at the throat of a Hogan-Mogan a Netherlandish weasand, which expanded only on thy natural and mortal objects of aversion, Dutch cheese, rye-bread, pickled herring, onion, and Geneva."

"Thou art an honest lad, Frank," answered the old woman, "but e'en too good for thy trade; thy tender heart will get thee into trouble. I will see ye gang up Holborn Hill backward, and a' on the word of some silly loon that could never hae rapped to ye had ye drawn your knife across his weasand."
Seeing the hesitation of the greater part of the prisoners, Skeleton said, "Come on, then, let us do the job for both of them, the big 'un and the little spy." "Not too fast!" answered the Chourineur, preparing for the combat; "look out for yourself, Bones! If you wish to play Cut-in-half, I will play Gargousse I'll cut your weasand."
