You think our boys are asleep down here. Well, they’ll catch up to you and they’ll cut you to pieces you, you nameless, fatherless scum. I wish I could be there to see it.”

Even as the snow that lies within the shade;
For she is no more moved than is the stone
By the sweet season which makes warm the hills”
