"Whoever he is," said the Advocate, "let him deliver his mind frankly, and he shall be answered." The man did not seem much terrified by the throat-cutting orations. "It is true," replied Wilkes, perceiving himself to be the person intended, "that you have very injuriously, in many of your proceedings, derogated from and trodden the authority of his Lordship and of this council under your feet."
Your friend the king would be glad to cut off our scurvy pittances at the first chance. It's a risk. But honour before everything." General D'Hubert had recovered his power of speech. "So you come like this along the road to invite me to a throat-cutting match with that that..." A laughing sort of rage took possession of him. "Ha! ha! ha! ha!"
Besides, I'm ready to argue with them all day and all night, and what more can they expect from a fighting man? "You see, after our war I got my hand in, and couldn't stop fighting. The Indians wouldn't do too much throat-cutting and savagery.
Who the "people" exactly were, that had been so wonderfully well disposed to throat-cutting by the ministers of the Gospel, did not distinctly appear. It was certain, however, that they were the special friends of Leicester, great orators, very pious, and the sovereigns of the country. So much could not be gainsaid.

Therefore I do not give Sire Perion only his life. I give him also victory and much throat-cutting and an impregnable rich castle. Have I not paid the price, fair Melicent? Have I not won God's masterpiece through a small wire, a purse, and a big key?" She answered, "You have paid." He said: "You will hold to your bargain? Ah, you have but to cry aloud, and you are rid of me.
The stranger left it to Mackenzie's imagination to fix his identity, not bending to reveal his name. Hector Hall, Mackenzie knew him to be, on account of his pistols, on account of the cold meanness of his eyes which Dad Frazer had described as holding such a throat-cutting look.

One evening I heard Manuel, Ali, and a Malay man whispering earnestly together outside the door, and could distinguish various allusions to "krisses," throat-cutting, heads, etc. etc.
"Maybe ay, and maybe no," said I. "That is the way it is to be, whatever." "And if I refuse?" cries he. "Then, Mr. Drummond, it will have to come to the throat-cutting," said I.
