How much the Colonel was perturbed by this dire threat there was no evidence to show. But a Proclamation was soon forthcoming which would certainly not conduce to the filling of the hat. And our language will be pardoned when I explain that the decree struck at the one commodity it was in our power to get enough of. There was such a commodity, and that was bread.
Frightened by this threat, which she knew too well he would carry out, she feigned consent, and gave the Turk a rendezvous at her house at an hour when she said her husband would be absent; but by arrangement the husband arrived, and although the Turk was armed with a sabre and a pair of pistols, it so befell that they were fortunate enough to kill their enemy, whom they buried under their dwelling unknown to all the world.
"No, you must never do that," he said. "If you go it must be with me. You must have some one to look after you. You don't know what London's like." He caught her in his arms and kissed her passionately, and she seemed to him a new woman altogether, created by her threat that she would go away alone.
This was called sunstroke. Luscious fruits indeed grew around, but they were all poisonous and those who ate of them died in agonies. In fact Louisiana was now pictured as a place to be shunned, as a place of punishment. "Be good or I will send you to the Mississippi" was a threat terrible enough to make the naughtiest child obedient.

What are you figgering?" Kars searched the gray skies. "We'll make Bell River." "I guessed you would. Maybe some folks would say it's you that's crazy. Ask Peigan." Bill laughed.

The threat of the sky added to the gloomy nature of the crudely rugged country.
You remember that I had something to say to her?" "Yes." "It was a threat. I was going to tell her that unless she gave up her way of life I should find the man who had been the cause of it and follow him up and kill him."
