"They don't behead people now, and even if they did they wouldn't do it for helping a pressed man to escape." "Tchah! I don't mean that way, my lad. I mean chop off my pension, and " "Pst!"
"I have told you I harken only to my heart; that for one smile from you I would behead myself; that for your favor I would betray my fatherland; that for your kiss I would face damnation. Well, I am here at your side. The deluge comes, but you shall be unharmed." He would not permit her to check him, crying: "Wait!
It was said that a common soldier, with pock-marked face resembling the Czar, was shown in his stead to the public on the death- couch at St. Petersburg, and that the Czar himself had escaped from prison in soldier's clothes, and would return to retake his throne, to vanquish his wife, and behead his enemies! Five Czar pretenders rose one after the other in the wastes of the Russian domains.
His height was six feet three inches, and the symmetry of his limbs was exact; his form was upright, his countenance agreeable, yet masculine, and his strength almost incredible. He could sever the head from the body of the largest ox with one stroke of his sabre, and was so adroit at this Turkish practice, that he at length could behead men in the manner boys do nettles.
Crosier executed the order punctually; all the women and children who could be captured were brought to Cairo, and also with them one living Arab, gagged and bound to his horse's back. "Why is this man still alive?" asked Bonaparte. "I ordered you to behead every man who was able to bear arms."

"The leader of the party of three who had captured me seemed a kindly man one that, if it were his duty to behead me, would prefer to give me chloroform before the amputation. For obvious reasons I made myself as agreeable as possible to him. I tried also to talk to the captain of the band after I reached the camp, but he repelled my friendly advances with something like surliness.
But this was not Seitz's sole reason for shrugging his shoulders at the expressions of the warmest sympathy which rose around him. The Emperor was tenderly attached to Heinz Schorlin, and the man who was so kindly disposed to his foe could never be his friend. Perhaps to-morrow Rudolph might behead his brothers and elevate Heinz Schorlin to still greater honors.
"Had you uttered this insult in Spanish instead of in French, I would have strung you up without more ado." "You insulted me first. If you are a true caballero give me the satisfaction which I have a right to demand." "No, señor; I don't meet rebels on the field of honor. If they are common folk I hang them; if they are gentlemen I behead them." "Which is in store for us, may I ask?"
