But you say that "everybody will be against you!" Yes, very likely. Let us settle that at once. Count all things dung and dross. Let none of these things move you.
At length a good cause was made for chastising them.

The neighbours grew accustomed to the disturbances which periodically broke out in the couple's room.

That the huge, fierce brute loved this child of another race is beyond question, and he, too, gave to the great, hairy beast all the affection that would have belonged to his fair young mother had she lived. When he was disobedient she cuffed him, it is true, but she was never cruel to him, and was more often caressing him than chastising him.
"Through all the criminal annals of this country we may search in vain for a precedent to this case. In the past we have had to try Indians and half-breeds for rebelling against the government. "In such cases punishment was always tempered with mercy; we were in the position of a parent chastising his child. "Here we are faced by a different situation.
