Silvere, waxing ferocious, intoxicated by the onslaught, attacked a big devil of a gendarme named Rengade, with whom for a few moments he struggled. At last, by a sudden jerk, he succeeded in wresting his carbine from him. But the barrel struck Rengade a violent blow in the face, which put his right eye out.
Abbott, the English Consul, had already returned, and gave them a cordial welcome. The members of the Greek Church greeted them in a friendly manner, and were ready to read the Scriptures with them; but the Maronite priests, faithful to the Church of Rome, forbad their people all intercourse with the "Bible men," whom they described as "followers of the devil."
Even as our common mother is said to have fallen in the garden of Eden, tempted by the wily beauty of the devil, so did your mother fall, seduced by that of the cold, false, traitorous De Haldimar." Here the agitation of Wacousta became terrific.
It was, however, a simple idea which would have arranged matters splendidly.... Even to-day to speak well of the devil is an abomination almost as serious as to speak evil of the Deity.

If you're bound for the devil, Priscilla, 'tis little power I have to stay you." "I'm not for the devil!"
"And how the devil do you keep old black thoughts out of your mind by those washy potations?" "Old black thoughts of what?" "Of black actions, Jason. We have not met since you paid me for recommending the nurse who attended your uncle in his last illness." "Well, poor coward?" Grabman knit his thin eyebrows and gnawed his blubber lips. "I am no coward, as you know."

That old devil learned the location, learned everything; detained Lester with a trick, and rushed young Landis away to file the claims for himself.
