Only let us offer them in one another's houses a supper, a dance, a pipe, a newspaper full of their own shame, a tale full of their own folly, a silly song, and He who loved them with an everlasting love will soon see of the travail of His soul in them! Yes, my fellow-sinners, Lucifer and his infernal crew know us and despise us and entrap us at very little trouble, till He who travailed for us on the tree covers His face in heaven and weeps over us.
"I wonder," I began to think out aloud, "whether you mean that I say what comes into my mind without being afraid you mayn't like it?" "Er um perhaps that covers a good deal of the ground. But what put the idea into your head? Why should you be afraid of me?" "I'm not. Only I've thought that it would be more respectful if I were. You are so celebrated, you see.
They got the covers on the manhole only just in time and they all crowded into the cabin, while Jack switched on the electric lights. "Is the ship damaged?" asked Mark. "I think not," replied Mr. Henderson. "But we are sinking. Look at the depth gage." The hand on the clock-face was moving slowly around.

"Why, Tim, you are accustomed to see thousands of men, every day, with nothing on but a loincloth." "Yes, yer honor, but then they're hathens, and it seems natural for them to do so; but for a dacent boy to go walking about in the streets, with a thing on which covers no more than his shirt, is onnatural altogether.

Pilgrims, rich and poor, come hither from all parts of the habitable globe. They kneel beneath the three-and-forty pendent lamps of gold and silver. They kiss the worn slab of marble which covers the tombstone, some of them smiling with joy, some of them weeping bitterly, some of them with quiet, business-like devotion as if they were performing a duty.

Here the outward show is nothing, it is the inward purpose that counts. So the 'gods' dwindle and the humble supplant them.
As he makes a lunge towards one horseman, another runs a spear into him. He turns towards his last tormentor when a man on foot holds out a red flag; the bull rushes for this and is allowed to take it on his horns.
