If he was nothing more than a minister, how did he know drill and tactics?"
Sutherland is not the man to make any misstatements or allow himself to be misinformed.

I know this is not usual; but it is just, and I am informed it has sometimes been granted in trials of life and death, and that your Lordship hath the power, if you have the will, to do me so much justice."

I knew what sort of a blow was coming, and I was afraid of it. "Why?" I asked. The Chinaman bowed and smiled. "Because you are the first," he said.

"And now let me tell you, sister, that either Mr Walcot is not a man of honour, or you have misinformed him of the true state of affairs here: I suspect the latter to be the case. It is of a piece with the whole of your conduct, towards Mr Hope conduct unpardonable for its untruthfulness, and hateful for its malice." Not one of Mrs Rowland's prepared answers would suit in this place.
