High up among the heather-clad hills which form the broad dividing barrier between England and Scotland, the little river Esk brawls and bickers over its stony bed through a wild land of barren braesides and brown peat mosses, forming altogether some of the gloomiest and most forbidding scenery in the whole expanse of northern Britain.
It was getting dark; a chilling touch of fog was in the air almost, it seemed to Broderick, like a premonition. On Clay, near Montgomery, he passed two men standing in a doorway; it was too dark to see their faces. Some impulse bade him stop, but he repressed it. Later he heard a shot, men running. But his mood was not for street brawls. He went on.
Large towns, in which thousands of human beings were crowded together, in narrow, gloomy streets, with but a strip of blue visible between the projecting roofs; and in these cities an incessant commercial activity, with no relief save festivals at the churches, brawls at the taverns, and carnival buffooneries.
Wives are to be subdued with kindness. 'If their husbands with great threatenings, with jars, with brawls, seek to make them tractable, or bend their knees, the more stiff they make them in the joints, the oftener they go about by force to rule them, the more froward they find them; but using mild words, gentle persuasions, familiar counsel, entreaty, submission, they shall not only make them to bow their knees, but to hold up their hands, not only cause them to honor them, but to stand in awe of them. By such methods will that supremest good of an English home be brought about, namely, that the wife shall stand in awe of her husband.
While two weeks after the death of Verka, the naive, sportful, meek, brawling Little White Manka perished as well.

And the murderer remained undiscovered to the last.
The octoroon struggled to escape, but the mate and Buck held him tight. "Drop the starboard boat into the water," I continued. "Mr. Washburn, you will deliver him to the police of the city." "Surely, Captain Garningham, you cannot mean to hand the man over to the police for getting into a common brawl," said Cornwood, when I had given my order. "We don't allow brawls on board this steamer.
“Amen,” said the Judge in reply, “I accept your augury that a Jan III. may appear along with the star! To-day there is a great hero in the west; perhaps the comet will bring him to us: which may God grant!” Sorrowfully drooping his head, the Seneschal replied:— “A comet sometimes forebodes wars, and sometimes mere brawls!
"Yes a gentleman's life." "Pish! Fanny; no satire from you: you, who are not properly speaking even a tragic actress! But there is something about your profession sublimely picturesque in the midst of these noisy brawls. The storms of nations shake not the stage; you are wrapt in another life; the atmosphere of poetry girds you.
Jeanne looked back at Marsac, and then at the young man. "You will not fight him?" she said to the stranger. Fights and brawls were no uncommon events. "We shall have nothing to fight about if the man has lied to us both. But I wouldn't care to be in his skin. Come along, my man." "I am not your man," said Marsac, furiously angry. "Well stranger, then.
Bearing himself in the matter of a disinterested citizen who had business that was not to be interfered with by street brawls, he turned away from the south, toward which he had been looking, shrugged his shoulders, and moving briskly, but without any seeming great haste, he made for the revolving door at the Thirty-ninth Street entrance to Wallinger's Hotel, diagonally across from the Jollity.
