"And they are right!" "Certainly." "Well, sir?" "But they are not the less wrong at first: the importance they attach to courage leads many boys and young men into murderous affrays just as their satirical comments upon 'milky dispositions' lead thousands into vice." "Oh, Ernest!" "Do you deny it?" "Wholly." "Well, that only proves to me once more that you know nothing of women."
Lo, I am clean distraught for one, whom when I saw, Fate in my breast forthright the love of her did raise. Her brother was my foe and rival in her love, A man of mickle might and dreadful in affrays. Then the maiden set food before her brother, and he bade me eat with him, whereat I rejoiced and felt assured of my life.
I have heard from aged persons who had been engaged in such affrays, that the Highlanders used remarkably fair play, never using the point of the sword, far less their pistols or daggers; so that With many a stiff thwack and many a bang, Hard crabtree and cold iron rang.
Do you wish to see me in prison?" "The disgrace would fall back upon your children, sir," said M. de Tregars. "We shall, on the contrary, do every thing in the world to enable you to evade the pursuit of the police." "Well, yes, then. But to-morrow I must write to Affrays: I must see her!" "You have lost your mind, father," said Mlle. Gilberte. "Come, do as I ask you."
To furnish the reader with an illustration of slaveholding civilization and morality, as exhibited in the unbridled fury, rage, malignant hate, jealousy, diabolical revenge, and all those infernal passions that shoot up rank in the hot-bed of arbitrary power, we will insert here a mass of testimony, detailing a large number of affrays, lynchings, assassinations, &c., &c., which have taken place in various parts of the slave states within a brief period and to leave no room for cavil on the subject, these extracts will be made exclusively from newspapers published in the slave states, and generally in the immediate vicinity of the tragedies described.
If Appleton could hold a hillside, he reasoned, he himself could hold a crossing, if not permanently, at least for a sufficient length of time to serve his purpose. His action came as a disagreeable surprise to Omar. These battles for crossings have been common in the history of railroading, and they have not infrequently resulted in sanguinary affrays.
He found that the tide had turned more in Francisco's favour than he had expected; the law of "Blood for blood" was held most sacred: indeed, it was but the knowledge that it was solemnly recognised, and that, if one pirate wounded another, the other was at liberty to take his life, without punishment, which prevented constant affrays between parties, whose knives would otherwise have been the answer to every affront.
A famous law suit, in the days of his grandfather, had wrested it from the illegal possession of a neighbouring family of petty landowners; the dispossessed party had never acquiesced in the judgment of the Courts, and a long series of poaching affrays and similar scandals had embittered the relationships between the families for three generations.
Many of his boyish exploits are current at this day amongst them, and his affrays with the revenue officers, or hair-breadth escapes from them, are still narrated with interest. In all these however he seemed rather to be amusing himself, than like one who considered them as his regular occupation. In the same spirit he attached himself for a time to a company of strolling players.
So my Master paid; and Leaving another Ten Florins for the poor Losels in the Gaol to drink his health in, we departed from that place of Durance, thinking ourselves, and with reason, very well out of it. Servants are not always so lucky when they too implicitly obey the behests of their Masters, or, in a hot fever of Fidelity, stand up for them in Times of Danger or Desperate Affrays.
