The indomitable tribes inhabiting the fastnesses of the Caucasian mountains had, thus far, maintained their independence. The Tartars called upon Russia for troops to aid in their subjugation; and four of the princes, one of whom, André of Gorodetz, was a brother of Dmitri the king, submissively led the required army into the Mogol encampment.
But the old fighting spirit awoke within him when the clash of arms sounded in his ears, and though we may know the general in the tent and in the council, we can only know the man when he breaks out from all rules and customs, and shows the rage of battle, and the indomitable eagerness for the fray, which lie at the bottom of the tenacity and courage that carried the war for independence to a triumphant close.
"If I were angry, I should not dare tell you, for fear of bringing down your vengeance on me." "But are you angry?" he asked anxiously. "I told you I did not dare say," she replied, smiling at him with an indomitable air.

Of course, your mother would be made to understand that the only fault with which my wife is charged is that of indomitable disobedience to my wishes."
