Not that the masters of the merchant vessels are at all backward in disparaging the service, but threaten to send a man on board a man-of-war for a punishment, if he behaves ill that itself is enough to raise a prejudice against the service.
I will fight you fair in that. You will find me on the square." "Do you threaten me, sir?" demands Hardin. "Now, make your own game." Joe's brow darkens. "Hardin, I want you to hear me out; you can take it then, in any shape you want to. Fight or trade." Woods' old Missouri grit is aroused. "Go on," says Hardin, with a rising gorge. "You're talking marriage." Joe's sneer maddens Hardin."
She would tell her brother, even in the house of death, should he come there, that his conduct was mean and unmanly. Kate was no coward. She declared to herself that she would do this even though he should threaten her with all his fury, though he should glare upon her with all the horrors of his countenance.

You'll crawl on your knees and beg me to kill you." Such a devil of wickedness she had never seen in human eyes before. The ruthlessness left no room for appeal.
Should the priest hesitate, then Marcus must threaten him with the loss of his living, as the whole princely house should be made acquainted with his villainy. He will then consent. I know him well!
We are now in Philadelphia, whence we go to Baltimore, Washington, and Charleston. The Southern States are at this moment in a state of violent excitement, which seems almost to threaten a dissolution of the Union. The tariff question is the point of disagreement; and as the interests of the North and South are in direct opposition on this subject, there is no foretelling the end.
