He always carried a walking stick, a sort of scepter with decorative bands of brass and gilt. For his hair, he used fragrant oils. Its sweat pungent smell lingered in the village lanes whenever he walked through them.

It was about eleven O’clock at night, dark, and she was walking alone, when a boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her purse. The strap broke with a sudden single tug the boy gave it from behind. But the boy’s weight and weight of the purse combined cause him to lose his balance. Instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the sidewalk and his legs flew up. The large woman simply turned around and kicked him right square in his blue jeaned slitter.
