    It was…hard. I didna call out, or let them see I was scairt, but I couldna keep my feet. Halfway through it, I fell into the post, just-just hangin' from the ropes, ken, wi' the blood…runnin' down my legs. They thought for a bit that I'd died-and Da must ha' thought so, too. They told me he put his hand to his head just then and made a wee noise, and then…he fell down.

  7. Diana Gabaldon _ Virgins

    Coming back, he saw the dark spots on the back of Jamie's shirt, blotches where fresh blood had seeped through the bandages. The sight filled him with fury, as well as fear. He'd seen such things; the wean had been flogged. Badly, and recently. Who? How?

I told you all I-" There was a small sound, a hollow noise like a melon being kicked in, and the voice stopped. "Thrifty, our captain," Big Georges said, under his breath. "Why waste a bullet?"
