thug

The thug grinned wolfishly at me and then winked at his leader.

The Thug, like many native Indians of his class—a low one—swathes his feet in strips of linen stuff.

The thug is aware that loudness convinces sixty persons where reasoning convinces but one.

Himself a member of the thug fraternity, he no doubt took swift vengeance on the informer for having betrayed its secrets.

The name 'Thug' signifies a 'Deceiver', and it will be generally admitted that this term was well earned.

The Thug of India, whose prayer is a homicide, and whose offering is the body of a victim, is melancholy.

The Thug appears to have taken some such view of Kali, regarding her as patroness of their plan for reducing population.

It may be that the leader is neither thief nor thug, but ambitious.

"Mrs. Compton never knew it, about the Thug," said he, and then looked up fearfully at me.

There was nothing about him, nothing in his appearance, that spoke of lawlessness, of a thug or a criminal.
