26 October. My birthday. This morning several women were brought in horribly wounded. One girl of sixteen had both legs smashed. I was taking one old woman to the civil hospital and I had to pass eighteen dead men; they were laid out beside some women who were washing clothes, and I noticed how tired even in death their poor dirty feet looked.
When he is in that pit he will hate the thing which he loves most, and love the thing which he hates most. When he is in that pit he will long to die, and yet cling to life desperately, and be horribly afraid of dying.
You kill me now maybe yes." Officers led him away. Phyllis Cunningham came up to Kirby and offered him her hand. "You're hard on James. I don't know why you're so hard. But you've cleared us all. I say thanks awf'ly for that. I've been horribly frightened. That's the truth. It seemed as though there wasn't any way out for us. Come and see us and let's all make up, Cousin Kirby."
In his very "Miss D'Alloi" now, there was a tone in his voice and a look in his face which really said the words: "My darling." Leonore thought this was a mean trick, of apparently sustaining the conventions of society, while in reality outraging them horribly, but she was helpless to better his conduct. She wanted to catch him up and snub him each time, but she was losing her courage.

In my ignorance of the man's character I set you an impossible task. All I can do now is to thank you for your sympathy and devotion." Her tone pained him horribly. "I hope, Miss Morriston," he replied warmly, "you are not asking me to end my devotion." She gave a little bitter laugh.
If you say much I'll fetch old Whitney to give you an awful dose." "Tell me this: is the captain much cut up, and Mr Staples, too?" "Of course they are, both of them, horribly." Mark sighed, and was silent for some moments. "Tell me about Tom Fillot," he said at last. "How is he?" "Pretty well all right again." There was another pause, which lasted some minutes, before the sick lad spoke again.
They had been travelling for the greater part of an hour, when Doris at length relaxed from her tense attitude and lay back in her corner, nestling into it with a long shiver. Brandon was instantly on the alert. "I'm sure you are cold. Here's a rug here. Let me " "Oh, do please leave me alone!" she said, with a sob. "I'm so horribly tired."
He had evidently been in his bed when the alarm had broken out, for he wore a foppish embroidered night-shirt, and his bare feet projected from his trousers. His head was horribly injured, and the whole room bore witness to the savage ferocity of the blow which had struck him down. Beside him lay the heavy poker, bent into a curve by the concussion.
She tried to be more astonished and indignant over Olga Larson's part in this affair than she really felt. It seemed so horribly cynical not to be surprised. But it was not cynicism; just an unconscious understanding of the fundamental processes of Olga's mind.
