Ye may laugh, but I'm speakin' truth. I niver saw the like, an' niver I will again.
O my God!" The voice broke in a torrent of heart-piercing cries. I could endure it no longer. "Have at ye, ye villains! Come out like men! Now, me brave bhoys, show the stuff that's in ye! A fig for y'r valor if ye fail! The curse o' the Lord on the coward heart! Back with ye; ye red divils! Out with ye, Rufus! The Lord shall deliver the captive!
