They landed on the summit of the rocks, and, if a bird can feel astonishment, they must have felt it when they looked around and discovered nothing of their home. But the great American bird is not the one to submit tamely to such an outrage.
Had the crowd come up, I must have yielded nolens volens; but the man-hunter himself formidable antagonist though he appeared was still but one, and to surrender tamely to a single individual, was more than my spirit inherited from border ancestry could brook. There was too much of the moss-trooper blood in my veins for that, and I resolved, coute que coute, to risk the encounter.
He tamely allowed the province of Holland to be invaded by the same ungrateful bishop of Liege, John the Pitiless, whom his wife's father and his own uncle had re-established in his justly forfeited authority. But John of Brabant revenged himself for his wife's contempt by a series of domestic persecutions so odious that the states of Brabant interfered for her protection.
Is it not just my own folly that is to blame? She was right more than right. I have behaved shamefully to her, suspiciously, and tyrannically invariably, unceasingly; and now I may sit here long enough and repent it, to no purpose. She would not be what she is if she tamely submitted to such treatment."

Have I deserved this infamous treatment? Have I ever used you unkindly, or spoken a harsh word to you? Do you think that I will tamely wear the horns which you and your paramour have planted upon my brow? Do you think that I will suffer myself to be made an object of scorn, and allow myself to be pointed at and ridiculed by a sneering community?"
How poorly did they design to trick you into an encouragement of Solmes, from the extorted interview! I am very, very angry at your aunt Hervey to give up her own judgment so tamely! and, not content to do so, to become such an active instrument in their hands! But it is so like the world! so like my mother too!
Heavens! how he wished he had played the manlier part; how he despised himself that he had fled that fatal neighbourhood when all was quiet, and should now be tamely travelling back when it was thronging with avengers! Any strong degree of passion lends, even to the dullest, the forces of the imagination.
