"Master Richard Linnell give that Major Rockley an out and out good Welting yonder in the cornfield, and if he'd been with him instead of that tother one, I should say there was going to be a fight with pistols; but I suppose it means a bit of a swim, and-" Dick Miggles bent down over his boat, and seemed to be paying not the least heed, for just then he saw four people coming down the cliff path on to the beach, and as they passed he saw that they were Rockley, Sir Harry Payne, a gentleman he did not know, and the Major's dragoon servant, James Bell, carrying something under his military cloak.
"The Master of the Ceremonies"
George Manville Fenn
It isn't necessary fer you to be a skunk in order to give yourself a Welting.
"They of the High Trails"
Hamlin Garland
Only the song of the saw was heard, and the Welting of the river.
