If there had been some Hebrew prophets about, and a tyrant or two, progressive and bloody-minded, to agree with them, polytheism might perhaps actually have been stamped out in Greece at one time. But Greek thought, always sincere and daring, was seldom brutal, seldom ruthless or cruel.
I know he was made a prisoner in Paris, and nearly killed there by some of those bloody-minded rebels; then he escaped, and he was at the siege of Machecoult, and got honourably wounded, and was left for dead: and then he was at Thouars no, not at Thouars; we heard he was coming, but he didn't come; but he was at Fontenay, and that's where I first saw him.
"Cannot we somehow contrive to kill all the pirates, and get rid of them altogether." Sybil. "Yes, we could shoot them from here, taking good aim." Gatty. "Ha! ha! just listen to Sybil. Could any one ever have thought she would have been so bloody-minded." Serena. "I wish Zoë and Jenny were safely with us, then we should be quite happy, having only the captain and Smart to wait for." Sybil.
"I think I remember some such story as you were telling," said Flask, when at last the two boats were slowly advancing with their burden towards the ship, "but I can't remember where." "Three Spaniards? Adventures of those three bloody-minded soladoes? Did ye read it there, Flask? I guess ye did?" "No: never saw such a book; heard of it, though.
To be sure there was one rather unpleasant drawback to these agreeable anticipations the possibility of falling in with a foraging party of these same bloody-minded Typees, whose appetites, edged perhaps by the air of so elevated a region, might prompt them to devour one. This, I must confess, was a most disagreeable view of the matter.
And The McMurrough sure it's certain death, and who's blaming him, but he's no stomach for it. And whirra, whirra, on that the man says he'll be telling it in Tralee that he'd not meet him, and as far as Galway City he'll cut his comb for him! Ay, bedad, he says that, and that none of his name shall show their face there, night or day, fair or foul, race or cockfight the bloody-minded villain!"
At Skilk, Rakkeed comes and goes openly; at Krink he has a price on his head." "Jonkvank is not one of the assets we boast about too loudly," Hideyoshi O'Leary said, pausing on his way from the table. "He's as bloody-minded an old murderer as you'd care not to meet in a dark alley." "We can turn our backs on him and not expect a knife between our shoulders, anyhow," von Schlichten said.
"The bells ring for others, notably for the trouble-makers. The rather common inscription for the side of a bell, 'Paco cruentos, 'I pacify the bloody-minded, is singularly apt, when you think it over." This conversation was still haunting Durtal when he went to bed. Carhaix's phrase, "The ring of the bells is the real sacred music," took hold of him like an obsession.
And you can tell your skipper, if you like, in case he don't know it, that he got smashed with the same club that he used on Mr. Breen, and I'm only d d sorry I didn't bring it down on his head. So long, you bloody-minded hell-drivers. See you again some day." He descended, and Mr. Knapp gave the order to brace the yards.
In the name of all the kings of Albin, who have ye closeted with you in that wooden tower that seemeth so bloody-minded? There is necromancy about this matter, and all our characters may be involved in the explanation." "What do you think of the Pathfinder, Master Muir, for a garrison to so strong a post?" cried Mabel, resorting to an equivocation which the circumstances rendered very excusable.
