They actually subjugated and put in chains, like the commonest peasants, native potentates at whose very names even the warriorhood of their tribes had been wont to blench. But far surpassing even this in awful effect was the doom meted out to the bush-handlers, the medicine-men, the rain-compellers, erewhile so inscrutably potent for working out the bliss or the bale of friend or enemy.
"No, it was he who made my getting leave for him to paint you and your father, a condition of his doing this for me." "Ah! I see now what it was you gave up your precious ring for. I perceived you had some cunning plan to give me pleasure." Tito did not blench. Romola's little illusions about himself had long ceased to cause him anything but satisfaction. He only smiled and said
Dost thou think that I, who have seen a town sacked, in which thousands of my Christian countrymen perished by sword, by flood, and by fire, will blench from my purpose for the outcries or screams of one single wretched Jew? or thinkest thou that these swarthy slaves, who have neither law, country, nor conscience, but their master's will who use the poison, or the stake, or the poniard, or the cord, at his slightest wink thinkest thou that THEY will have mercy, who do not even understand the language in which it is asked?
Yet now Daniel, on perhaps a couple of fine mornings a week, in full Square, with Fan sitting behind on the cold stones, and Mr. Critchlow ironic at his door in a long white apron, would entertain Samuel Povey for half an hour with Pan's most intimate lore, and Samuel Povey would not blench.
I have got her off in time and safety!" muttered Dorcas Knight, in triumph. Must I give way and room for your rash choler? Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? Go show your slaves how choleric you are! And make your bondsmen tremble! I'll not blench!
Men called him cruel and vengeful even for those days gone by now, thank God! and whispered his name when they spoke of assassinations; saying commonly of him that he would not blench before a Guise, nor blush before the Virgin. Such was our visitor and neighbour, Raoul de Mar, Vidame de Bezers.
A ballad A love complaint A most doleful woe-begone elegy; of sorrows, sufferings, fate, despair, and death; scribbled by him, and set and sung by her! By her! For his comfort, his solace, his pleasure, his diversion! I caught them at it! Nay they defied me, despised the wrath that drank up the moisture of my eyes, blazed in my blood, and scorched my very soul! And after this will I blench?
And these had been years of inestimable preciousness; but they came to an end at the command of God, speaking through the constraining impulse of her love for men. From the mystical retirement in which she had long lived alone with her Beloved, she emerged into the world. And the remarkable fact is that in no respect did she blench from the situation as she found it.
I have seen Monte Fiasco clean his trencher with his knife, and every Principe in company doing likewise. And did I blench? Did my estimation for the Princess diminish? No, lovely Amalia! One of the truest passions that ever was inspired by woman was raised in this bosom by that lady. Beautiful one! long, long may the knife carry food to those lips! the reddest and loveliest in the world!
Go! those who cannot witness my power without blenching, should never seek me; and you blench like those sick girls I have seen you blench before?" "Seen me?" echoed Leslie. "Seen you!" was the fierce reply of the sorceress. "Fool! do you think I cannot penetrate that thin disguise that old man's hair and those false wrinkles?
