Excerpt from The Duke's Motto: A Melodrama
These were the soldierly virtues. But, further, there was not a man in the room who would have felt the smallest compunction in cutting any man's throat if he had full pockets, or shaming any wom an's honor if she had good looks. These were their brigand's vices. Fearless in their conduct, filthy in their lives, the assembled rogues were as ugly a bunch Of brutalities as ever sprawled in a brothel, brawled in a tavern, or crawled from some dark cor ner to cut down their unsuspicious prey.
