Seagrave; "we must contrive to carry the beast home between us."
"We will sling it on the musket, sir, and it will not be very heavy. It is one of those born on the island, and a very fine fellow for his age."
The pig was soon slung, and they carried it between them. As they cleared the wood, they perceived Mrs. Seagrave and William, who had heard the report of the musket, and had come out to meet them. William took the load from his father, who walked on with Mrs. Seagrave. "Well, William, what news have you?" said Ready. "Why, very good, Ready.英文原著 · 《Masterman Ready》
I awoke. Sunday morning. It was full dawn, not daylight. A discharge of musketry--then a round from the bugle--the command 'forward'--and another discharge of musketry was sharply kept on by the red-coats (some 300 strong) advancing on the gully west of the stockade, for a couple of minutes. The shots whizzed by my tent. I jumped out of the stretcher and rushed to my chimney facing the stockade. The forces within could not muster above 150 diggers. The shepherds' holes inside the lower part of the stockade had been turned into rifle-pits, and were now occupied by Californians of the I.C.英文原著 · 《The Eureka Stockade》
The other child alleged to the King is that handsome musketeer, who is so like him. But, judging from the King's character, which respects, and in some fashion almost admires itself, in everything which proceeds from it, I do not venture to believe in this musketeer. The King wished one day to see him close by, and even accosted him by the orange-shrubbery; but this movement seemed to me one of pure curiosity.英文原著 · 《The Memoirs of Madame de Montespan》
I will suppose myself and another human being together, in some spot secure from the intrusion of spectators. A musket is conveniently at hand. It is already loaded. I say to my companion, "I will place myself before you; I will stand motionless: take up that musket, and shoot me through the heart." I want to know what passes in the mind of the man to whom these words are addressed.英文原著 · 《Thoughts on Man》
This is what I cut out of it," and he handed the governor a little round stone as big and almost as regular as a musket-ball. "Humph! that could hardly have been fired from a French musket."
"Can you read this?" and he showed him a long cicatrix on his other arm. "Knife I think," said the governor. "You are right, sir: Spanish knife. Can you read this?" and opening his bosom he showed a raw wound on his breast. "Oh, the devil!" cried the governor. The wounded man put his rusty coat on again, and stood erect, and haughty, and silent.英文原著 · 《White Lies》
"It'll bring bad luck, I'm afraid," he muttered as he went to get his axe from the rack. He was as fond of his axe as a soldier of his musket, but to-day he shouldered it with reluctance. He felt like a man with his destiny before him. The tree stood like a sentinel. He raised his axe, once, twice, a dozen times, but could not bring himself to make a cut in the bark. He walked backwards a few steps and looked up. The funereal green seemed to grow darker and darker till it became black. It was the embodiment of sorrow.英文原著 · 《A Mountain Woman》
