"Reckon I'll have to nail down some of the windows unless you'll give me your word not to run away." "I'll promise nothing," was my reply. "I'm being treated unfairly, and I shall do as I think best." "Then I'll fasten everything as tight as a drum," returned Booth. Going below, he secured a hammer and some nails, with which he secured the windows and the scuttle on the roof.
Ferguson, the luckless tavern-haunting poet, the François Villon of Edinburgh, the singer whose genius some critics believe to be somewhat unfairly overshadowed by the greater fame of Burns, has branded them to succeeding generations as "black banditti."
Whether the affair of Bronkhorst Spruit can be called an act of treachery on the part of the Boers is rather a nice question. Colonel Anstruther's words the words of a dying man rather go to prove that he was unfairly treated, though he does not say so directly.
Maybe he would find it convenient to keep us here as his 'white men' until it suits him to let us go. You see, he has got to think of himself as chief and of his people first." "I don't think he would treat us unfairly," said Compton, warmly, "especially as they owe so much to us." "That's nothing." "But, sir, these people were kind to my father; and Muata stood by us all along like a brick."
The conversation flagged; Bateman was again busy with his memory; and he was getting impatient too; time was slipping away, and no blow struck; moreover, Willis was beginning to gape, and Charles seemed impatient to be released.

You say, if you were President you would send an army and hang the leaders of the Missouri outrages upon the Kansas elections; still, if Kansas fairly votes herself a slave State, she must be admitted, or the Union must be dissolved. But how if she votes herself a slave State unfairly that is, by the very means for which you would hang men? Must she still be admitted, or the Union dissolved?

"From the first moment I met you, my heart was yours. It was love at first sight; indeed I believe in no other. I was amused with the projects of my friend, and I availed myself of them, but not unfairly.
What I've done has always been exactly what I believed was for the best interests of the country. Can't you believe this?" "No." "In spite of the fact that I risked the dissolution of my Cabinet and the united opposition of my party when I restored you to command?" "No you had to do it."
