"A prince is not to be brow-beaten by a priest." Such a view in the twelfth century was little short of revolutionary. The chapter of the Cathedral of Coimbra held the converse opinion that priests were not to be browbeaten by a prince, and set themselves to make Affonso Henriques realize this to his bitter cost.
If Nyall had understood his superior and had conducted himself accordingly, he might himself have been president and general manager of the White Rapids Motor Company to-day.

"Leave the room," said Madame von Marwitz, now raising herself on her elbow and pointing to the door. "Leave the room at once. I refuse to lie here and be threatened and insulted and brow-beaten by you.
Hence you have them brow-beaten by some, contemned by others, yea, and their company fled from and deserted by others. But mark the text, 'A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise, but rather accept; for not to despise is with God to esteem and set a high price upon.
Deep in Lanyard's consciousness an echo stirred of half-forgotten words: "Vengeance is mine...." The sense of frustration brewed a hopelessness as stark as that of a brow-beaten child.
