Great they well know it cannot be, for did not their keen eyes count nearly twenty chasing those hated brigands far down towards Sonora Pass, and of that number how many have returned? only three. Did they not see the flurry and excitement when that sergeant was shot from ambush? Now, therefore, is the time to strike, now while the main body is far away.
But there is not only one government. There are other governments, exploiting their subjects by violence in the same way, and always ready to pounce down on any other government and carry off the fruits of the toil of its enslaved subjects.

Oh, wait!" she added, as Hawbury made another effort to clasp her in his arms. "Oh, do what I say, for my sake!" She felt for his feet, and cut the rest of his bonds. "What am I to do?" asked Hawbury, clasping her close, as though he was afraid that he would lose her again. "Escape." "Well, come! I'll leap with you from the window." "You can't.

And so, by his daring audacity and brute strength, Toro the Italian raised himself to the leadership of the Greek brigands. None dared to dispute his sway from that moment. Some had a difficulty to swallow the bitter pill, but the alternative was so very unpleasant that they got over it. And Harkaway's enemy Hunston? Why has he fallen so into the background of late?
Talk of brigands Up and off! How juiced SOLD he must be feeling It was a shave too in the coach yard!" Suddenly he became silent. Abruptly his eyebrows rose and his jaw fell. "I sa-a-ay!" said Mr. Hoopdriver. He had never thought of it before. Perhaps you will understand the whirl he had been in overnight. But one sees things clearer in the daylight.
One day I was alone with my lieutenant, having both of us only our daggers, and we were coming back to our habitation, and passing through a thick forest, situated at the end of the lake. Alila said to me: "Master, this neighbourhood is much frequented by Cajoui." Cajoui was known as the chief of a most daring gang of brigands.
We were one day wandering about the Montmartre region of Paris when we came into a hole-in-the-wall where they were playing a piece called "Les Brigands." It was melodrama to the very marrow of the bones of the Apaches that gathered and glared about.
