So every now and then I’d borrow two or three dollars off of the judge for him, to keep from getting a cowhiding.

He was just suited – this kind of thing was right in his line.
– Mark Twain
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapter 6. Huck on Pap’s habitual alcohol binges and violence towards him. The allusion to Cain refers to the biblical character who was son of Adam and Even and murdered his brother Abel.
