"Death to the renegade!" cried a voice in the crowd. "He calls the Pope Anti-Christ." "Ay, he who is not for us is against us. Is it for Christ that he rules Rome? Is it only the Jews whom he vexes?

"By the maircy of Gaad we will have 'em!... A maist haarrid and unnaitural craime. I will take 'em with my own haands. Here is one who will help." And he turned to a man who had come up and who looked like a city tradesman. "Lead on, honest fellow, and we will see justice done. 'Tis pairt of the bloody Plaat.... I foresaw it. I warned Sir Edmund, but he flouted me.
There, in that Gallery, she had sat, with rage and defeat in her heart, watching him pass along, behind the Speaker's chair, toward the wrong division lobby, his head doggedly held down, as though he knew and felt her eyes upon him, but must do his duty all the same.

In law the Indian was supposed to have certain rights, but Astor's company not only ignored but flouted them. Now when the Indians complained, what happened? Did the Government protect them?
Never did a case seem more desperate than that of the "Peasant State," deserted and flouted by Russia, disliked by the Sultan, on bad terms with Roumania, and publicly lectured by the Continental Powers for her irregular conduct. Servia's triumph seemed assured. But now there came forth one more proof of the vitalising force of the national principle.
Oh no! S.S. wasn't going to be flouted and snubbed for nothing, he could tell them, and so they'd discover. It was no use staying in Liverpool, that was clear.
I used to be pure as gold. There was not a speck on my soul, and now, woe is me, pain is me! What has come over me?"
