Martial law is proclaimed; it will be carried out with ferocity, above all against us.
There was a fire in the monumental fireplace, and as he entered, a log was just breaking in the middle and spluttering, across the tall, richly wrought French dog-irons.

An avaricious person is very 'having; wants to have everything. What are usually called dog-irons on the hearth are called brand-irons, having to support the brand or burning log.
