A thorough American, who comprehends what America has to do, and means to help on with it, ought to choose to be born in New England, for the vitalized brain, finely-chorded nerves, steely self-control, then to go West, for more live, muscular passion, succulent manhood, naked-handed grip of his work.
Jeanne's refusal of his love was the end for him. He accepted his fate without argument. In an instant he would have fought ten men a hundred, naked-handed, if such a fight would have given him a chance of winning Jeanne; he would have died, laughing, happy, if it had been in a struggle for her.

No, I think the true mercy has been, not to leave him long in suspense; and it was therefore fortunate for him that our benign laws are slow to pronounce, but swift to execute; and that the games of the amphitheatre had been, by a sort of providence, so long since fixed for to-morrow. He who awaits death, dies twice. 'As for the Atheist, said Clodius, 'he is to cope the grim tiger naked-handed.
