"I held the city of the world," said the voice from the darkness: "I kept the breath of life moving throughout the Empire when all said it must perish. For thirty years my one brain outmatched the diplomacy of all the Embassies. Emperors have been proud the dominions of Islam.
These big bullies were jeering him and throwing sticks and cans at him. The little fellow was plucky and defiant, and it made them all the more cruel. Suddenly there appeared in the crowd a tall swarthy young fellow slashing the tormentors right and left; until, after a stiff and unequal fight, in which the rescuer was greatly outmatched in strength, the cowardly ruffians were put to flight.
Had Civilis been successful, he would have been deified; but his misfortunes, at last, made him odious in spite of his heroism.

He went out filled with anger and despair, and, sad for him, with a fierce, overmastering desire love he called it for the clever, proud, imperious beauty who had so outmatched and crushed him. That beautiful red head, which he had at first so despised, was henceforth to blaze in his dreams. On the Scoriac Harold An Wolf, now John Robinson, kept aloof from every one.
The French gunners still plied their guns with steady devotion, though hopelessly outmatched at all points, but it was clear that only a great forward dash could save the day. Moving forward from the northern edge of the Bois de Garenne to judge his ground, Margueritte fell mortally wounded.
Baffled greed and cunning outmatched and duplicity doubled against itself could be seen in the men who rushed from the "Gold Room" hatless and frenzied some literally crazed when the price of gold advanced to 162.
