"The mere contemplation of physical violence unmans that Frog. He'd about as soon have a beatin' as have a leg cut off with a case-knife.
This is my one chance of seeing my darling again for many a long year perhaps. Oh, I must not speak of HER it unmans me. My good, kind friend, I'll tell you what to do.

It was impossible! Did they take me for a fool? I could laugh at the idea. What did they mean by it? Min, dead! God in heaven how could they torture me so! But, it was true. I cannot bear to speak of it all now, it unmans me. It makes me, a great strong man, appear as a little sobbing child! I do not know what went on for days after I realised what had happened to me.

Atlee has drawn a long indictment against me, and the fellow has done me good service in giving me something to plead to. Let me have a charge to meet, and I have no misgivings.
