Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or banks:
“Murder her brothers and then marry her—
Uncertain way of gain, but I am in
So far in blood that sin will pluck on sin.”

“Its whether will ye be a rank robber’s wife,
Or will ye die by my wee pen knife?
Its I’ll not be a rank robber’s wife,
But I’ll rather die by your wee pen knife.
He ‘s killed this may and he ‘s laid her by,
For to bear the red rose company.”
