Harry quickly recovered, but said that he felt rather sick and faint after what he had seen, and his head was aching rather badly. "Oh, Roger, what fiends in human shape are those men!" he exclaimed. "They cut and slash and burn the living bodies of their fellow-men until they lose all semblance of human beings.
They are all dead, yet live they do, Yet neither live nor die. They die to weal, and live to woe, This is their misery. 52. Amidst all this so great a scare That here I do relate, Another falleth to their share In this their sad estate. 53. The legions of infernal fiends Then with them needs must be, A just reward for all their pains, This they shall feel and see. 54.
Lady Mar gazed with a weird frown on the lovely form of Helen, as she wound her exquisitely turned arms round the earl in filial tenderness. Her bosom, heaving in the snowy whiteness of virgin purity; her face, radiant with the softest blooms of youth; all seemed to frame an object which malignant fiends had conjured up to blast her stepdame's hope.
"Now, you just listen to what I say to Mademoiselle and Eliza, and back me up for all you're worth. "But," said Mabel, "you can't mean that you're going to leave me alone directly we get out, and go off with those horrible creatures. They look like fiends." "You wait till you've seen them close," Gerald advised.
If he had, he would have looked for his double among the fiends on the top of Notre Dame. There was, in fact, nothing like him on this earth, only in a very hot place not on the earth. He was, in short, a beast with brains that only man, and no beast, ought to be trusted with; and he had no soul.
"My God, Gatton!" I muttered. "The fiends! But why was the contrivance not removed?" "They hadn't time," he said grimly. "They had not counted on the death-grip of the victim!" I heard a car come racing up to the gate, followed by the sound of many excited voices. "At last we know where the gray mist came from," I said, as Gatton and I walked through the cottage to meet the new arrivals.
When the charge came it was met with such a deadly fire that a large number of the fiends were killed, some of them even after gaining the bank of the island. This check had the effect of making the savages more wary, but they were still bold enough to make two more assaults before mid-day.
These are not similitudes of man, who was made in the image of his Maker, but doubtless of fiends, revealed by Satan to the artificers who do his work in the fabrication of these instruments of sin. Mark these figures of diamonds and hearts, and these others, which I am told do signify spades and clubs. How plainly do they typify ill-gotten riches and bleeding hearts, violence and the grave.
Two islands, north of Newfoundland, were given over to the fiends from whom they derived their name, the Isles of Demons. An old map pictures their occupants at length, devils rampant, with wings, horns, and tail. The passing voyager heard the din of their infernal orgies, and woe to the sailor or the fisherman who ventured alone into the haunted woods.
"Mine, mine is it any business of mine?" gasped the tongueless man. Then he raised his heavy fist threateningly and stammered jeeringly: "Not not a red heller more nor less than my cart in the name of all the fiends than my cart is of yours. Four heller pounds, Ratz, and the donkey and cart are yours."
