Pizarro gave notice that he would behead every person who acted contrary to these orders; and, while he marched in person at the head of the troops, he should leave the lieutenant-general in charge of the city, to execute rigorous punishment on all who lagged behind.
"My son," he said to him, "you saw a great number of people in the streets as you came here. These men are going to behead your father. Do not forget that. Perhaps some day they will want to make you king, instead of the Prince of Wales, or the Duke of York, your elder brothers. But you are not the king, my son, and can never be so while they are alive.
Him will I behead and his head will I show to the crowd, whilst thou canst hide and live in secret." Ikkor thanked his friend and the plan was carried out.

The arguments of M. Proudhon reduce themselves, then, to this: Since the most skilful agriculturists are those who have reduced the heads of sheep to the smallest size, we shall have arrived at the highest agricultural perfection when sheep have no longer any heads.

With our improved rifles I believe that one man could withstand the attack of twenty of them armed with bolos, that is to say, were the American in some fortification, and opened fire on the Morros when they came in his range. They, of course, would not fight in this way, their method being one of sneaking treachery. They slip up behind the unsuspecting victim and behead him with their bolo.
Barrin' thar ain't no Sittin' Bulls layin' in wait fer us, behead yander, in ther mounts, I'm of ther candid opinion we'll get through wi'out scrapin' a ha'r." "I hope so," said Fearless Frank, rolling over on the grass and gazing at the guide, thoughtfully, "but I doubt it.
"If a hand be laid upon him the men-at-arms will rebel. They fear that it will bring a curse upon them." "The fools, what is a friar but flesh and blood like others?" "I would sooner hang or fry a hundred wretched burghers, or behead a score of knights, than touch this friar." "I see how it is. I must contrive to starve or poison him," thought the base lord of the castle.
