“You would think," added Art, "that a wedding was a great thing."
"Well," replied Old Hector, "it's not a small thing, as a rule. They contrive, one way or another, to make a lot of it.”

“It all comes back to one thing... brutality. Compel people into a position where they have to use the brute that's in them in order to live and the brute will waken all right. When the brute is naturally strong in a man - that's the man who becomes the leader of the pressgang. And there you have it. Where all is compulsion and enforcement, it's the bully that rules.”

Neil M. Gunn
