This was at the men's end of the meeting-house; on their side, the women were similarly occupied, but we can only conjecture the subjects of their conversation. The young men as is generally the case in religious sects of a rigid and clannish character were by no means handsome.
We're a clannish people, we Thorpes; we'd always help our own flesh and blood, even if we kicked them while we were doing it but I mean outside, in the world at large." "What have I got to do with the world at large? I didn't make it; I'm not responsible for it." He muttered the phrases lightly enough, but a certain fatuity in them seemed to attract his attention when he heard their sound.
It is true, these interests and achievements of the race are not cultivated with the same assiduity or with identical effect throughout; but it is equally true that no effectual bar could profitably be interposed, or would be tolerated in the long run in this field, where men have had occasion to learn that unlimited collusion is more to the purpose than a clannish discrimination.
Their war-path has reached the shores of the Pacific Ocean on the west, Hudson's Bay on the north, and into the very heart of Mexico on the south.

"Let them send Braddy to thrash him, then; I don't intend to fight to please them!" "Oh! that's all right. And if they all knew what you've told me they would understand it; but as it is, they don't."
A microcosmic illustration of that clannish spirit of Albania which he had spent a lifetime in endeavouring to direct to nobler ends! He was the Mazzini of his nation. A Garibaldi, when the crisis comes, may possibly emerge from that tumultuous horde. Where is the Cavour?
