"Granting your absurd theory," she continued, "why should I have feared him? What had he done except strike to save his own life?" "You forget, Mrs. Brace," he corrected. "That body showed twenty-nine wounds, twenty-eight of them unnecessary if the first was inflicted in mere self-defence. It was horrible mutilation." "So!" she ridiculed, with obvious effort. "You picture him as a butcher."
That they make all purchases from the Indians for the crown, of lands not now within the bounds of particular colonies, or that shall not be within their bounds, when some of them are reduced to more convenient dimensions. That they make new settlements on such purchases by granting lands in the king's name, reserving a quit rent to the crown, for the use of the general treasury.
