Under such conditions my duty was

what would have happened? Copper

you would have wiped out q vast num-

and Brachard saw that the situation
was more critical than he had expect

Samson, the man who grappled in his

in which his enemies had gathered

them, sacrificing his own life in the eff

which he had built up by hard toll, by
constant battle, and the pillars were
under his hands. Should he break
them and bring his temple down to
overwhelm him the while it killed his
enemy?
Deveaux watched him as he paced
the floor.
