Dick was staring straight before him down the room, as if he watched some evil vision against the darkness. "People aren't allowed to kill themselves in prison. If they try to do anything of that sort, they're tied down till they come to their senses. If they behave like brutes, they're treated as such, till at last they turn into that and nothing else. And then God help them!"
"Oh, a couple of miles or so; down at the Cross Roads." "Well," said Yates, "there's merit in the idea. I take it your generous offer is made in good faith, and not necessarily for publication." "I don't understand. What do you mean?" "There is no concealed joke, is there? No getting me on the back of one of those brutes to make a public exhibition of me?
The instinct and imperfect reason of the noblest brutes, are here in marked contrast to the mind of man.
Dogs and men were fresh and fat, while Rasmunsen and his brutes were jaded and worn down to the skin and bone. They of the smoke wreath had travelled one day in three, resting and reserving their strength for the dash to come when broken trail was met with; while each day he had plunged and floundered forward, breaking the spirit of his dogs and robbing them of their mettle.
"And the cabin is more comfortable for that girl when he brings her there to run over Marthy!" "Well, what of it? You don't expect him to put in his time for nothing, do you? In the last analysis we're all self-centered brutes, Wilhemina. We're thinking once for the other fellow and twice for ourselves, always.
Mind, therefore, may be regarded as a distinct genus, in the scale ascending above brutes, and including the whole of intellectual existences; advancing from thought, that mysterious thing! in its lowest form, through all the gradations of sentient and rational beings, till it arrives at a Bacon, a Newton; and then, when unincumbered by matter, extending its illimitable sway through Seraph and Archangel, till we are lost in the GREAT INFINITE!
There was a calm almost up to sunrise, and it looked as if they had towed her out with boats before daylight.... "Seems a rather unlikely bit of exertion for the lazy brutes; but if they are as much afraid of that confounded Irishman as you say they are, that would account for their energy."
I don't wonder that you were surprised to see me walking unmolested and openly in the streets of Paris whereas you had heard of me as a dangerous conspirator, eh? and as a man who has the entire police of his country at his heels on whose head there is a price what?" "I knew that you had made several noble efforts to rescue the unfortunate King and Queen from the hands of these brutes."
When the rest of his band come over arter him, as they s'posed in answer to their signal, they took mighty good care not to leave their hosses where thar war any chance for the Kiowas to put their claws onto 'em. They rode off up the pass till they could reach a place whar the brutes could climb up and jine thar owners."
And so now two boys were tossed together, the peculiar hardship of which is, that it's too much for human nature to lie still then and share troubles; and so the wretched pair of small boys struggle in the air which shall fall a-top in the descent, to the no small risk of both falling out of the blanket, and the huge delight of brutes like Flashman.
