Talk no more, Ospakar, but fall to it." "Gudruda shall never wed thee, while I live!" said Björn; "thou art a landless loon, a brawler, and an outlaw. Get thee gone, Eric, with thy wolf-hound!" "Squeak not so loud, rat squeak not so loud, lest hound's fang worry thee!" said Skallagrim. "Whether I wed Gudruda or whether I wed her not is a matter that shall be known in its season," said Eric.
"They say you are a brawler and a gamester, and I know how far these are to be trusted by the unhappy." "They do me wrong, by Heaven!" said Lord Glenvarloch.
Surely it is not your nature to be a brawler, and always seeking opportunity to show the strong hand! What has Captain de Croix done now to make you seek him so vengefully?" "'T is not in quarrel," I explained, I fear with ill grace, for her words in his defence were little inclined to mollify me.
For Church and State are for material righteousness, the letter of the law. Spiritual flowerings, high motives clad in apparent lawlessness these are hardly in their province since they are for those who still need crude rules. To the scribes, and still more to them that sold doves, Christ was a brawler. Rather than break that glass he would not stir.
"Ah, my son, did I not bid thee not to trust too much to thyself? and now my words have been verified by thy own experience, as it was perhaps well they should be." "Well! that I should become a drunkard, dicer, and brawler." "Well that thou shouldst so early hate drinking, dicing, and brawling.

He had been appointed by the Legislature Sheriff of Douglas county in place of S. T. Jones, who for some reason was to go out of office. The Governor refused to commission this Sherrard because he was a drunkard, a brawler, and a cursing, swearing, gambling ruffian and bully. This made Sherrard furious, and Sheriff Zones and all his crowd of bullies were furious with him.
"The safe-conduct was given before Molembrais' treason was fully proved." "Then it is the King's justice to lure suspects " "There can be no faith with traitors. Did the safe-conduct make his treason less? Do you not see," he went on, as La Mothe made no reply, "that Molembrais got no more than his deserts?" "Like the brawler in Tours," said the lad whimsically.
An aristocrat by birth, he is a democrat by passion; but he has palpably come into the world too early, or too late, for power. Under Louis XIV., he would have made a magnificent minister; under his successor, a splendid courtier; but under the present unfortunate king, he must be either the brawler or the buffoon, the incendiary, or the sport, of the people.
