"I mean what I told you yesterday," said Flint, "that you've stirred up the dragon." Even Mr. Flint did not know how like a knell his words sounded in Isaac Worthington's ears. "Nonsense!" he cried, "you're talking nonsense, Flint. We maimed him too thoroughly for that. He hasn't power enough left to carry his own town." "All right," said the seneschal.
The father of the boy, who was poor and had a large family, seeing himself near death, had thought of having his unfortunate son maimed so that he should become the support of his brothers with his voice. The name of the boy was Bellino; the good woman whom you have just seen in Ancona was his mother, and everybody believes that she is mine.
The fruits were brought by a woman whom I thought that once I had seen in the household of the Augustus Constantine, and I knew " and he paused. "Well, what did you know, man? It would be best to tell me quickly, who have power here." "I knew, sir, what all the world knows, that Constantine would be rid of his uncles, whom he fears, though they are maimed. No more, I swear it, no more."
I have twice before urgently called the attention of Congress to the necessity of legislation for the protection of the lives of railroad employees, but nothing has yet been done. During the year ending June 30, 1890, 369 brakemen were killed and 7,841 maimed while engaged in coupling cars. The total number of railroad employees killed during the year was 2,451 and the number injured 22,390.
Jagienka understood it not, and she looked at Macko, who said: "He seems to indicate that his tongue has been torn out." "Did they tear out your tongue?" asked the girl. "A! a! a! a!" repeated the beggar several times, nodding his head. Then he pointed with his fingers to his eyes; then he moved his left hand across his maimed right, showing that it was cut off. Then both understood him.
I hope to stand ready to risk my life for the liberty and independence of our nation, and for the preservation of my own personal liberty; but unless wounded and maimed, I never will be again a prisoner to the British. The American sailor has a beloved home; he was born and brought up in a house that had a "fire place" in it.
Eugénie's heart was wrung with pity for the young maimed creature; but the peevish image of the wife was swept away by the more truly tragic image of the husband. Eugénie might try to persuade herself of the possibility of Elsie's recovery; her real instinct denied it. Yet life was not necessarily threatened, it seemed, though certain fatal accidents might end it in a week.
He flung his cloak back. The light of the lanthorn under the keystone of the arch glimmered feebly on the blade of his maimed arm. He made a discreet and bloodcurdling gesture to me with the other. How could I hold a man so that he should be stabbed from behind in my arms? Castro was running up swiftly, his cloak opening like a pair of sable wings.
And therefore in the solemn feast of Bacchus it is very well done to dedicate an egg, as the emblem of that which begets and contains everything in itself. For the world was before all, being the most perfect; and it is rational that the perfect in Nature should be before the imperfect, as the sound before the maimed, and the whole before the part.
Wandering far enough off into the country to lose myself for me no unfamiliar feat I joined a man who was driving his cows to town and in my talk with him it turned out that he had been through the Valley campaign on the other side, and together we recalled encounters and scenes that were not recorded in the histories, insignificant skirmishes significant enough to those who were killed and maimed.
