"Don't forget, Jorgenson, that the lady hears you," remonstrated Lingard in a vexed tone. . . . "He doesn't mean to be rude," he remarked to Mrs. Travers quite loud, as if indeed Jorgenson were but an immaterial and feelingless illusion. "He has forgotten." "The woman is not in the least offended. I ask for nothing better than to be taken on that footing."
Accustomed by the strictest and most rigid training, to obey as familiars, the will of their superiors without question to be mere mindless and feelingless tools, to whom death itself was awarded, if by word or hint, or even sign, they dared evince themselves to be as other men he had, at the command of the Grand Inquisitor, deeply drugged Senor Stanley's evening draught, and, while under its potent influence, had purloined his sword; waylaid Don Ferdinand in the Calle Soledad, effectually done the deed, and aware that it would be many hours ere the English Senor could arouse himself from the stupifying effects of the draught had intended returning to his chamber still more effectually to throw on him the suspicion of the murder.
To the gay, feelingless music, he thought out his departure in detail, sparing himself nothing.
After such a pose, to see a pilgrim escape! To see him pass by, unmoved by that smile, turning his feelingless back on the true shrine! It was enough to melt the stoutest heart.

This did not mean that Peter was hard and feelingless.
