Neither power, nor favor, nor want, nor misery, shall deter me from its support while the vital current continues to flow. Condemned at home for my opposition to slavery, alone and singlehanded here, well may I feel tremor and emotion in bearding this lion of slavery in his very den and upon his own ground.
What was the power that, instead of quenching their almost dead hopes, caused them to flame up with renewed vigour heaven-high?

'Bearding the Northwold bench with a groundsel plume and a knitting-needle: 'With a needle for a sword, and a thimble for a hat, Wilt thou fight a traverse with the Castle cat?

With the intuition that comes of long and changeful association with strange peoples, the changing countenance of the Afghan chief impresses me at once as the fiery signal of inbred Mussulman fanaticism, lighting up spontaneously at the unexpected and unannounced arrival of a lone Ferenghi in his presence.
