"A general so ready in craft as you are might hope to match the African and, by the gods! no one else seems able to. Come, let us go on to my house." Though harshly said, and in tones that one less acquainted with the speaker might well have mistaken for sarcasm, Sergius knew that the compliment was genuine.
Sergius was himself, indeed, the heart and soul of his branch of the brotherhood; and from him had emanated none knew how many screeds and pamphlets upon his favorite theme. Irina, relying on him as the last protector of her family, questioned none of his plans, but found in his manner of life much that delighted her Bohemian soul.
I here declare my acceptance of whatever punishment may be visited on one who removes from life a King who brings kingliness into contempt! And, as our Chief, Sergius Thord, suggested to-night, I shall be swift and sure in the business! there shall be no delay!"
After banishing from Moscow the larger part of the Jewish population, the governor-general, Grand Duke Sergius, made up his mind to humble the remaining Jewish population of the second Russian capital so thoroughly that its existence in the center of Greek Orthodoxy might escape public public notice.
If I am elected King by the representatives of the people, I shall have much pleasure in hanging every officer who took part in the infamy of the Black Castle. But it is an early hour for politics.

Sergius picked it up, and gave it to him; then calm, resigned, fearless, he turned to the east, rested his hands on his breast palm to palm, closed his eyes, and raised his face.
He found him in the best possible humour, laughing and making coarse jests amid a circle of decurions and optios as rude a Roman as marched with the standards, yet able, when occasion demanded, to play the man of fashion who had spent a year at Athens. The latter mood fell upon him when he descried Sergius. He came forward to meet him.
I remember his words: 'The brethren while of one faith, because the creed was too simple for division, were of two classes, as they now are and will always be' ay, Sergius, as they will always be! 'But, he said, 'it is worthy remembrance, my dear child, unlike the present habit, the rich held their riches with the understanding that the brethren all had shares in them.
He ate sparingly, though much more than he had done, and often he ate with much pleasure, and not as formerly with aversion and a sense of guilt. So it was now.
