Where was the respect due "the vested rights" belonging to Uncle Sam? What about the piracy and plunder of the property belonging to Uncle Sam? Why was it valor to throw a burglar looting your house out by the neck, and "hysteria" to go after a burglar looting Uncle Sam? Wayland had once asked Bat Brydges these questions. Bat had looked pained at the Ranger's obtuseness.
"Yes, it's too bad: one hates to have one's faith in human nature all balled out this way; but you never know what kind of a fact you're going ping up against where a woman is concerned." Something in the Senator's look stopped Bat mid-way. "Brydges, I thought I told you never to meddle with the damphool who makes excuses for what he's going to do.
Bat Brydges, handy man of the Valley, quizzing the ranch hands, quizzing the German cook, quizzing Calamity at the very foot of rustic slab steps that ran up from the basement. "What is he after, Calamity?" The half breed woman had dashed up the back stairs to Eleanor's room.
A sturdy Whig member, Sir Rowland Gwyn, disconcerted the whole scheme of operations. "Why this reserve?" he said, "Everybody knows your meaning. Everybody sees that you have not the courage to name the great man whom you are trying to destroy." "That is false," cried Brydges; and a stormy altercation followed. It soon appeared that innocence would again triumph.
Bat drew his fore-finger along the map. "Along the red line, here: just to the trail through the canyon." "Good: now what about the timber claim along the Gully? That's in the Forests, Brydges.

Again the Terrible was under weigh, standing for the Leeward Islands to join the squadron of Sir George Brydges Rodney. A day or two after she sailed, the surgeon came to the Captain with an unusually long face. "What is the matter, Doctor Macbride?" asked Captain Penrose. "I'm sorry to say, sir, that we have two cases of yellow fever on board," was the answer.

James Brydges, first Duke of Chandos, had built himself an Italian palace at Canons, near Edgware, in which he must have outdone even the magnificent Lord Burlington in sumptuousness and ostentation.
The granddaughter of two such great men in their way as the Dean of Dunwich and Sir Anthony Merrick. She drew back, all aghast. Shame and agony held her. Something of maiden modesty burned bright in her cheek and down her very neck. Red waves coursed through her. How on earth after this could she face Walter Brydges?
Gray could not abide him. Sir Egerton Brydges, quoted in Gosse's Gray, iii. 371. For the epithet bear applied to Johnson see ante, ii. 66, 269, note i, and iv. 113, note 2. Johnson of the Lay Monastery 'a constellation of excellence. CROKER. BOSWELL. See also ante, iii. 336.
