Redhead looked him full in the face, and though he was both big and very rough-looking, he had not altogether the look of a rascal. He said: "Fair lord, I would that I might do something for thine avail, and perchance I may: but it is hard to do good deeds in Hell, especially for one of its devils." "Yea, is it so bad as that?" said Ralph. "For thee not yet," said Redhead, "but it may come to it.
Good Lord, the very thought of it is alarming! Sashka and I together could only just carry in the barrel, and you emptied it alone, and even sent for rum afterwards. . . . You got so drunk you were catching devils in a sack and pulled a lamp-post up by the roots. Do you remember? Then you went off to beat the Greeks. . . ."

He took a savage pleasure in her trembling, for she had roused all the devils in him and they were many. "You are growing tired!" "Not at all. But you have just voiced the strongest possible argument against marriage.
Get out of here! for, as my name is Maciek, I wish you to millions, hundreds of hundreds of thousands of waggons of hogsheads, of drays of devils!!!” All were hushed as if struck by lightning!
