No; but less often than with landsmen do their vices, so called, partake of crookedness of heart, seeming less to proceed from viciousness than exuberance of vitality after long constraint: frank manifestations in accordance with natural law.”

—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Yousef Bey (John Carradine)
