In all these ghastly and tragic dramas, enacted all over Ireland, Mr. Carson was the chief figure self-confident, braggart, deliberate winding the rope around his victim's neck with all the assured certainty of the British Empire, Mr. Balfour and the Resident Magistrates behind him. Nature has stamped on Mr. Carson's exterior the full proclamation of his character and career.

Murphy muttered in astonishment, and Carson chuckled admiringly, for the descent was a full hundred feet, and there were few men in the railroad gang that would have dared to risk the wall on foot.

A third of the slope had been covered when he struck some loose earth that shifted with his weight and carried his hind quarters to one side and off balance.
Her grandfather had found the hiding place of the treasure and had kept it a profound secret from all except herself, to whom he told it only when he began to sing his death song. Mary Greenwater swore to Carson that the hiding place of the Spanish treasure would never be known except to one other member of her tribe, and then not until after her death.
