Ask the darkness in which he sits, alone, thinking. Better, perhaps, ask the man's warped and tormented soul. It seems that while he sat in his office waiting for her, a champion rose up to defend her, a champion in his own heart. A champion who made such headway against the brute's lawless and beastly intention as to overthrow it.
Goliath, amazed that, notwithstanding his importunities, his master should still appear to neglect the animals' supper, regarded the Prophet with an increase of stupid astonishment. "Answer, you brute!" "If I am a brute, I have a brute's strength," said Goliath, in a surly tone, "and brute against brute, I have not always come the worst off."
It was the exotic complexion and the slightness of his build which had put me off so completely. Now I saw in him unmistakably the Jacobus strain, weakened, attenuated, diluted as it were in a bucket of water and I refrained from finishing my speech. I had intended to say: "Crack this brute's head for him." I still felt the conclusion to be sound.
They admitted that he had debauched the girl, but insisted that it was with her consent that this modest little German maid was the black brute's mistress. They scared up a brace of worthless brutes who testified to having seen plaintiff bathing naked in a creek with the prisoner at the bar. It was quickly demonstrated that these fellows were guilty of deliberate falsehood.
I loosed my enemy's hands when they were bound. Did I do well?" "Yes." "No, I did not. I should have taken my revenge. Revenge is man's right." "Revenge is the brute's right," Manasseh corrected her.

I hear you've sold the Ambler to that fellow Guilderstein." In George's heart something snapped. 'Already? he thought. 'The brute's been crowing.

Instead of that, a small, iron fist shot upward and Quade's head went back as if broken from his neck. FitzHugh sprang a step backward, and in the movement his heel caught the edge of a pack-saddle. He stumbled, almost fell, and before he could recover himself Quade was at him again. This time there was something in the red brute's hand.

In a few minutes one of the women came out and told them that the maid had now recovered and that she was almost unhurt.
"We must stop this brute's mouth or we are utterly done for," said Jack. At that instant he stumbled over a large stone. He bent, picked it up, and turned round.
