The caution of his wary commander, Kutusoff, who urged a Fabian policy of delay and retreat, now began to weary him. To retire into northern Hungary seemed ignominious.
"Here, Diaz," said Fabian, "take your weapon, and listen to me." So saying, Fabian advanced and offered him his knife without any attempt at guarding himself. Diaz took the weapon, but his adversary had not presumed too far; at the heroic simplicity of Fabian his anger vanished on the instant. "I listen," said he, flinging his knife to the ground.
The men on the island exchanged looks of consternation and pity. "Thank God! they have not killed him!" said Fabian. The prisoner indeed arose, although bruised with his fall, and one of the Indians disengaged him from the lasso. Bois-Rose and Pepe shook their heads.
It’s no secret at all,” and his voice grew angry, “that that hoary-headed Atheist Fabian was at the bottom of it; Fabian, the Christian. I hate reforms.” “Well, we had long wished to do it,” answered Cornelius, “but could not manage it. Alexander attempted it near twenty years ago. It’s what philosophers have always aimed at.”
There was trouble in the river reaches between his men and those of Belloc-Grier, and he was keeping an appointment with Belloc at Fabian Grier's office, where several such meetings had taken place. He had not gone far, however, when he saw a sprightly figure in light-brown linen cutting into his street from a cross-road.
Also, they are at this moment going through a course of study which none other could conclude with the same advantage. Brother Fabian is doubtless an excellent brother of his order, but he has scarce the same learning as Brother Emmanuel. Nevertheless, I will well consider the change proposed, and give it all dutiful heed.

When Fabian had said to her in Montreal that he would come to see her again, he told her where he lived.
Of course, if the nation adopted the Fabian policy, it would be carried out by brute force exactly as our present property system is. It would become the law; and those who resisted it would be fined, sold up, knocked on the head by policemen, thrown into prison, and in the last resort "executed" just as they are when they break the present law.
Fabian, as we have said, had long felt that the Canadian could not live, even with him, in the heart of towns, without yearning for the liberty and free air of the desert. He knew also that to live without him would be still more impossible for his comrade; and he had generously offered himself as a sacrifice to the affection of the old hunter.
Pshaw, you don't know anything about it!" "I know all about it." "Know all about it! You're in love you?" "Yes." Fabian sat open-mouthed for a minute. "Godam!" he said. It was his one English oath. "Is she good company?" he asked after a minute. "She's the same as you keep voila, the same." "You mean Nell Nell?" asked Fabian, in a dry, choking voice. "Yes, Nell. From the first time I saw her.
