As to their punishments among themselves, they will cut off a man's head; and strangle him with a bowstring, in a summary manner; but a Turk, or Algerine, would sicken at the sight of a whipping in the navy; and in the army of the Christian king of England.
You could pet and play with me, check and punish me, as a child who would not 'sicken at the sweets, or be humbled by the sandal. You forbore longer, you dealt more sternly with them, because, forsooth, they were women and I a baby.

All your debts were paid with that proviso, and you have broken it; this Mr. Abrams has a bill of yours for sixty pounds." "It's an old bill. I take my solemn oath it's an old bill," shrieked out the Baronet. "You drew it yesterday, and you dated it three months back purposely. By Gad, Clavering, you sicken me with lies, I can't help telling you so. I've no patience with you, by Gad.
It was like striking at a monstrous thing without the sense of hurt, a fiend that had no brain that blows could sicken, a body that was not a body but an enormity that had strangely taken human form. Brokaw had struck him once only once in those two minutes, but blows were not what he feared now.
