"You lie, you coward and villain ! " And he struck the peer twice over the face with his open hand, and flung him bleeding to the ground. It was all done before Rebecca could interpose.

Pagina 159 - Tell, manhood shakes off pity, Tell, virtue least preferreth. And if they do reply, Spare not to give the lie. So when thou hast, as I Commanded thee, done blabbing — Although to give the lie Deserves no less than stabbing — Yet stab at thee who will, No stab the soul can kill.
