Tell it, O my friends, to such as are ignorant of love; would ye could be aware of what wrings me to the soul: the anguish of a wound is not known to the hale and sound; we must detail our aches only to a fellow-sufferer. It were idle to talk of a hornet to him who has never during his life smarted from its sting.
She knows her power, and she uses it too; but well knowing that to wheedle and coax is safer than to command, she judiciously tempers her despotism with flattery and blandishments enough to make him deem himself a favoured and a happy man. But she has a way of tormenting him, in which I am a fellow-sufferer, or might be, if I chose to regard myself as such.
"Truly, sir," replied Rochecliffe, "you found me but in my duty as a clergyman, interring the dead; and respecting answering your questions, I am determined myself, and do advise my fellow-sufferer on this occasion"
Heimert now appeared to her as a fellow-sufferer; only she was about to lay down the heavy burden, and he was but just going to take the load upon his back. The two talked together as if they had known each other for years; they were nearly always of the same opinion.
"He evidently means that the man was wounded by his fellow-slave," said Mr Russell. The black sailor watched the officer, and then thrust his hand behind the slave to take a short, flat piece of wood from the poor wretch's waistband a piece of heavy wood, shaped something like a willow leaf.

And everyone ill-clothed or ill-dressed, from the cobbler to the cab-runner, was a man and a brother, a fellow-sufferer, to Hill's imagination. So that he became, as it were, a champion of the fallen and oppressed, albeit to outward seeming only a self-assertive, ill-mannered young man, and an unsuccessful champion at that.
But own, at least, that you have suffered." "Suffered!" groaned Darrell involuntarily, and pressing his hand to his heart. "You have! and you own it! Fellow-sufferer, I have no more anger against you. Neither should pity, but let each respect the other. A few words more, this child!" "Ay ay this child! you will be truthful.
'I have to do it every day, and you don't let me off. Mamma said no more, but put on her hat and trundled away with fretful baby, thinking to find her fellow-sufferer and have a laugh over the joke.
His fellow-sufferer aft, who did not appear to have suffered so much as his comrade, had seemingly swooned from exhaustion or exposure; as, on my putting my arm round him and lifting up his bent head, the man opened his eyes and murmured something faintly in some foreign lingo Spanish, I think it was; at any rate a language I did not understand.
He then told her concisely what had happened with relation to the girl to which she scarce made any answer, but asked him if he had not dined? He assured her he had not eat a morsel the whole day. "Well," says she, "my dear, I am a fellow-sufferer; but we shall both enjoy our supper the more; for I have made a little provision for you, as I guessed what might be the case.
