Quote #7
It was thereabouts that Feringhea, the Thuggee chief, king of the stranglers, held his sway. These ruffians, united by a secret bond, strangled victims of every age in honor of the goddess Death, without ever shedding blood; there was a period when this part of the country could scarcely be travelled over without corpses being found in every direction. (11.9)

Quote #8
"Not at all; but I knew that some obstacle or other would sooner or later arise on my route." (11.16)
A prepared adventurer is a much more successful adventurer. Nothing like well-equipped exploring.
Quote #9
In ten minutes several revolver-shots could be exchanged. (29.12)
