The women of this time know of nothing but brash incivility. Doctor Hoffman is prime example, ordering me about as if I were a wooden soldier. That opinion isn’t worth the month-old contents of a thunder jug. Thankfully, I may rely upon Miss Winters to respond as a woman should, with maternal trust. Given that, it was simplicity itself to gull her into attacking Devlin on my behalf, thus protecting me, harming Devlin, and placing a convenient wedge in their betrothal. Bully!
Later, however, the force of another woman haunted my senses: Sarah. Her life force exerts itself more and more. To have her back? I can and shall do everything.

“Thunder jug”. I’ve never heard or read of this term before, please explain its meaning.
A “thunder jug” is a term that was active around Barnabas’ own time. It’s a chamber pot. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=thunder%20jug
