It is always the savage lads, with their love of excitement, who head the riot reckless to what bloodshed it may lead

In Elizabeth Gaskell's works, particularly in her novel "North and South," the theme of social unrest and the consequences of reckless behavior are prevalent. The quote "It is always the savage lads, with their love of excitement, who head the riot reckless to what bloodshed it may lead" can be seen as a reflection of the characters and events in Gaskell's novels.
