But Sidonie had a different ideal; and those Parisian Sundays passed in strolling through noisy village streets depressed her beyond measure. Her only pleasure in those throngs was the consciousness of being stared at. The veriest boor's admiration, frankly expressed aloud at her side, made her smile all day; for she was of those who disdain no compliment.
Your Grace believed that the Prince had no accession to this second aggression upon the citizens of Perth the slaughter of this bonnet making fellow, about whose death they clamour, as a set of gulls about their comrade, when one of the noisy brood is struck down by a boor's shaft." "Their lives," said the King, "are dear to themselves and their friends, Robin."
So soon as it should be dark, the thirty-two lesser burning-vessels, under the direction of Admiral Jacob Jacobzoon, were to be sent forth from the neighborhood of the 'Boor's Sconce' a fort close to the city walls in accordance with the Italian's plan. "Run-a-way Jacob," however, or "Koppen Loppen," had earned no new laurels which could throw into the shade that opprobrious appellation.

The boor's little eyes glinted and the boor's rusty fingers rasped at his stubble chin as he answered emphatically: "Then I am a King's man, root and branch." But his face showed less loyal confidence at Brilliana's next words. "Then you must know his Majesty is in straits for ready money. Will you, who are reputed rich, come to his aid with a round sum?"
"What d'j' you pay for him?" insisted Link, his voice harsh and unconsciously domineering as a vague new hope dawned on his troubled mind. "I paid six hundred dollars," answered Gault shortly, in annoyance at the boor's manner. "Good!" approved Link, "That gives us suthin' to go on. I'll pay you six hundred dollars fer him back.
Julian only heard enough of this sentence to be aware that it was highly insolent; and the flush on De Vayne's cheek showed that he too had caught something of its meaning. "Never mind that boor's rudeness," he said. "I feel more than honoured to be in the sizar's company. How admirably quiet you are, Julian, under such conduct!"

This is the gun in which the boor puts all his trust; and although an American backwoodsman would at first sight be disposed to laugh at such a weapon, a little knowledge of the boor's country would change his opinion of the "roer." His own weapon the small-bore rifle, with a bullet less than a pea would be almost useless among the large game that inhabits the country of the boor.
