    (Can we find and add a quotation of Boyle to this entry?)
    • 1890, Charles King, From the Ranks‎:
      A sneering smile was the only answer for a moment; then,-- "I shall take great pleasure in confounding my enemies should the matter be brought before a court,--I'm sure if the colonel can stand that sort of thing I can,--but as for defending myself or anybody else from utterly unjust and proofless suspicions, it's quite another thing."
