You, of course, would shoot him at once, but I shall enjoy the refinement and the jest of it. He's a man of the best society. I've been hounded out of my sphere by people very much like that fellow. How enraged and humiliated he will be! I promise myself some exquisite moments while watching his play." "Ay, and suppose he suddenly starts prancing. He may not appreciate the fun."
"How do you know she's hounded me?" "She says so. She wants you to get into politics and into business and pay her back." "But that's what you've wanted me to do yourself." "Oh," said Lydia, in a great breath of despairing love, "I want you to do what you want to. I want you to sit here at this table and write. Because then you look happy. And you don't look so any other time."
The events of the next two weeks are of small consequence in this narrative, which deals not so much with the history and mystery of the campaign in the fall of '99 as with the welfare and emotions of a single soldier at the front. Aguinaldo and Pilar had become refugees by this time, hunted and hounded from place to place with relentless fervour.
He often assured me that he considered Kropotkin his teacher, and that he owed much of his mental development to him. The next aim of the hounded man was America, but it does not appear that he was followed across the ocean by his lucky star. He soon was made to feel that free speech and free press in this great republic was but a myth.
The dreadful shapes of the avenging Furies close in upon him: the fancies of incipient madness thicken on his mind: he is hounded out, his only hope of rest being Apollo's sacred shrine. The play ends with a note of hopelessness, of calamity without end. After the Agamemnon this play reads weak indeed. Yet it displays two marked characteristics.
He raves against America, and, after throwing the facts of international law to the winds, he shrieks for the impeachment of Wilson to stop this slaughter for which he has sold himself. It is no secret in Berlin that the League have systematically hounded Mr. Gerard. I do not know why they hate him, unless it is because he is a member of the American Government.
"Sinclair, what are you doing in Medicine Bend? Have you come to surrender yourself?" "Surrender myself? Yes, I'm ready any time to surrender myself. Take me along yourself, Barnhardt, if you think I've done worse than any man would that has been hounded as I've been hounded. I want to see my wife." "Sinclair, you can't see your wife." "What's the matter is she sick?" "No, but you can't see her."
There was excitement and feverish energy in Jude's voice now. "Maybe he'll fling a bone to you but don't you see, son, you can hold off and make him pay, and pay and pay? "Now tell me, so true as you live, what was you going down to St. Angé for?" "I was going down to" Jude hesitated. "Well, I was tired of being hounded, and having to hide and starve.
It was subsequently known as Fort Rouge, after the color of the adjacent river, and was the foundation of Winnipeg. Leaving men to trade at Fort Rouge, De la Vérendrye set out on September 26, 1738, for the height of land that must lie beyond the sources of the Assiniboine. De la Vérendrye was now like a man hounded by his own Frankenstein.
But sooner or later we meet, Donnegan, and then, I swear by all that lives, I'll shoot you down without mercy like a mad dog. You've robbed me; you've hounded me: you've killed my men: you've taken the heart of the woman I love. And now nothing can save you from the end." He turned on his heel and left the room. And Donnegan remained kneeling, holding a stained handkerchief to his face.
