Your pillagers take all; there is not even time for them to make you the offer. Turn your eyes round towards the entrance of the imperial head-quarters. Do you see that man? He is all but naked; he groans and extends towards you a hand of supplication.
He came with drooping head to the smithy, to take his leave. He had sold his costly booty, and, like so many other pillagers, gambled away the stolen property at the exchange. Nothing was left him of the great day in Antwerp, except the silver toys for his sister's children in Colln on the Spree.
"What think you, for example, of William de la Marck?" "What!" exclaimed Durward, "serve Him with the Beard serve the Wild Boar of Ardennes a captain of pillagers and murderers, who would take a man's life for the value of his gaberdine, and who slays priests and pilgrims as if they were so many lance knights and men at arms? It would be a blot on my father's scutcheon for ever."
The pillagers afoot stepped aside to let the pillagers in carriages pass. There were, it is true, a few patrols, if a squad of five or six monkeys disguised as soldiers and each beating at his own sweet will on a drum can be called a patrol.
"Ah! there was no one!" replied the Sergeant, shrugging his shoulders "really no one, and us, too, our arms crossed! Nothing to do!" "But why?" "War." "War?" "Yes, civil war between the Paraguayans and Buenos Ayriens," replied the Sergeant. "Well?" "Well, Indians all in the north, in the rear of General Flores. Indian pillagers find pillage there."

These pillagers are in fact highwaymen or privateers having no laws, and acting from the impulses of their own fierce hearts. After the Chippeways had left, the pillagers concealed themselves in a path near Lake Calhoun.
"Pardon the interruption, but I am not so sure that Jeanne d'Arc's intervention was a good thing for France." "Why not?" "I will explain. You know that the defenders of Charles were for the most part Mediterranean cut-throats, ferocious pillagers, execrated by the very people they came to protect. The Hundred Years' War, in effect, was a war of the South against the North.
This lake is about seven miles from Fort Snelling. Before they had been concealed one hour, two Dahcotahs passed, father and son. The pillagers fired, and the father was killed instantly; but the son escaped, and made his way home in safety.
They were not numerous; on the contrary, they were but handfuls of men, even when they appeared as successful pillagers and raiders over the frontiers. When they came in large numbers, they were wiped out. They did not introduce any new institutions or any new ideas.
However, the Zu-Zu was the rage, and spent Bertie's money, when he got any, just as her willful sovereignty fancied, and Rake rode on now with his master's note, bearing no very good will to her; for Rake had very strong prejudices, and none stronger than against these fair pillagers who went about seeking whom they should devour, and laughing at the wholesale ruin they wrought while the sentimentalists babbled in "Social Science" of "pearls lost" and "innocence betrayed."
