Do you recognise these extracts ?

1. ."Would a Spaniard", she began, looking on the ground, "speak of his
revenge till his revenge were ripe ? No. Yet a man who loved a woman might
threaten her in the hope that his threats might make her love him. Such
things have been".
2. . 'You can tell your mates that even in that place, at that time, hanging
on the wet, weedy edge of death, our Bishop, a Christian, counselled me, a
heathen, to stand by my fathers' gods. I tell you now that a faith which
takes care that every man shall keep faith, even though he may save his soul
by breaking faith, is the faith for a man to believe in'.
3. .'"What would you have done" he said to me, "If I had not been here?"
"I should have killed that man," I answered.
"Kill him now," he said. "He will not move a limb."
"No", I said. "You've taken my men out of my command. I should only be your
butcher if I killed him now."'.
