"Away with the wretch the parricide the bloody-minded villain!" was echoed on all hands; and the king, who naturally enough set the same value on his own life, at which it was, or seemed to be, rated by others, cried out, louder than all the rest, "Ay, ay away with him. I have had enough of him and so has the country.

He appears to have been a man without one redeeming quality "stern and bloody-minded, in no degree remarkable for fidelity or devotion to his employers" the one essential virtue of a free lance. This character is cited from the memoirs of Skinner, where it is also added that he cannot have been devoid of those qualities which attach the soldiery to their officer.

I cannot but look upon it as a happy accident, that a man who is so bloody-minded in his affliction, was diverted from this fit of outrageous melancholy. The valour of this gentleman in his distress brings to one's memory the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance, who lays about him at such an unmerciful rate in an old romance.

"Aye, 'tis well to have a friend at court when need arises." "I labored hard," said the old gentleman, "to secure your freedom, but these bloody-minded Inquisitors are without bowels of mercy, and ye are fortunate to have escaped death or torture. But now I have brought you a little matter of wine and fruit, so fall-to and refresh yourselves, and after that we will talk of what is to come."

"By no means; here are my remarks on these subjects: " 'Belgium, or The Belges, as the country is now called, is one of the upstart kingdoms that have arisen in our times; and which, from signs that cannot be mistaken, is fated soon to be overturned by the glorious principles of freedom. The people are ground down, as usual, by the oppression of hard task-masters, and bloody-minded priests.

It will be seen above that it was only the Yankees and Abolitionists in whose bodies the knives of the "Law and Order" party were to be sheathed; and the Yankees in the country were only a handful of men, and were therefore powerless; but between them and these bloody-minded chieftains was interposed a barrier that proved insurmountable.

Northern news arrived by grapevine, and Northern papers told the army that was what it was going to do, "invade Maryland and move on Washington sixty thousand bloody-minded rebels!" "Look here, boys, look here. Multiplication by division! The Yanks have split each of us into four!"

What are your commands with me? "'Your ladyship, said the old man, 'had once a sister. "'True; whom I loved as my own soul. "'And a brother. "'The bravest, the kindest, the most affectionate! said Lady Bothwell. "'Both these beloved relatives you lost by the fault of an unfortunate man, continued the stranger. "'By the crime of an unnatural, bloody-minded murderer, said the lady.

'And then? said the breathless captain. 'Shot, said Attwater. 'They came to ground together. Herrick sprang to his feet with a shriek and an insensate gesture. 'It was a murder, he screamed. 'A cold-hearted, bloody-minded murder! You monstrous being! Murderer and hypocrite murderer and hypocrite murderer and hypocrite he repeated, and his tongue stumbled among the words.

I said, certainly not; that I had a general commission, which was quite enough, and that we had not told the King of an act which was very necessary, but might not be pleasant for him to hear. With that he tossed up his head and laughed, in his way, saying that he thought so; and that the King did not know what bloody-minded villains he had got in his service. Bloody minded villains was the word.
