"If you want a really good thing," he whispered hoarsely, "ask Joe what Pompadour is in the fifth!" Mabel laughed scornfully, disappointedly. "Pompadour!" she mocked. "That's right!" cried the expert. "That's the one daily hint from Paris today. Joe will give you thirty to one." Upon the defenseless woman he turned the full force of his accursed smile. "Put five on for me, Mabel?" he begged.
I can do nothing with my son; reason has no power with the stubborn child. Who knows whether folly would not be more successful? If I thought so, I would make Pazza Charming's teacher. The intractable boy, who rejects all masters, might be defenseless before a child. The only objection is that no one will be of my opinion; I shall have everybody against me."
Sure, 'twould be an awful thing to have the sin av murrder on me sowl not that 'tis murrder to kill a Dutchman that's a self-confessed pirate into the bargain. Shtill, 'tis a terrible t'ought to carry to the grave " Wham! Mr. Reardon brought his padded wrench down on his defenseless bed. "Too harrd," he told himself.
"Well, if you don't use profane language, Father, there's no telling how much you think in expletives. What is your opinion of a man who tumbles a poor, defenseless girl into prison and then refuses to let her be decently cared for? How do you express yourself about him?"

Nothing can be more cowardly and disgusting than the brutal assault of an angry parent upon a defenseless child, and such parents always regret their actions if they have any conscience, but they are generally of such poor moral fibre and so full of false pride that they fail to apologize to the children for the injustice done.
But if we ask, for instance, how so timid and defenseless an animal as the rabbit manages to survive and multiply, we extend our knowledge of natural history. The rabbit prospers by reason of its wakefulness by never closing its eyes and by its speed; also by making its home where it can command all approaches, and so flee in any direction.
"Was it fair fight when Tarleton's men rode in upon Tom Sumter's rest camp at Fishing Creek and cut down this little maid's father whilst he was naked and bathing in the stream? Was it fair fight when King George's Indian devils came down in the dead of night upon our defenseless house at Northby? Never talk to me of fairness, sir, whilst all this bloody tyranny is afoot!"
Against the jeers of the boys he could register vows of future vengeance and console himself with the promise of bloody retribution; but against the endless queries and insinuations of his adult neighbors, he was utterly defenseless. "Looks like she had ever'thing fer the parlor, an' nothin' fer the kitchen," observed Mrs. Snawdor from her third-story window to Mrs.
I cannot see what should prevent a combination of ambitious men forming themselves into a private army, manufacturing their own munitions, and at last enslaving the defenseless citizens, who had relied upon the inherent attractiveness of liberty. Indeed, Kropotkin instances the old volunteers in Great Britain as an example of a movement on Anarchist lines.
One could guess the whole drama from that little text. The curtain was up. It would not fall until the mastership of one party or the other was determined and permanently: "There was treachery on both sides. The Blacks killed the Whites when they found them defenseless, and the Whites slew the Blacks in a wholesale and promiscuous fashion which offended against my childish sense of justice.
