Am I to kill him, or to fall down at his feet and implore him? If you admit that I should adopt the latter course I must do the same to my Moslem brother. Who protects the cow from destruction by Hindus when they cruelly ill-treat her? Whoever reasons with the Hindus when they mercilessly belabour the progeny of the cow with their sticks?

This priest will not fight; if I seek a quarrel with him, he will say that his priestly robes forbid, and he will continue his vile gossip when I have gone. Moreover, for what can I hold him responsible? What is it that has disturbed Brigitte? They say that her reputation has been sullied, that I ill-treat her, and that she ought not to submit to it. What stupidity!
"Perhaps you'll change your mind, sir; it's easy to ill-treat the helpless." "Well, I see you can rely on yourself!" "I rely upon you, sir, and not very much on myself...." "I've no need of you at all. I've told you so already." "But I have need, that's how it is! I shall wait for you on the way back. There's nothing for it."

"Look here, Maxwell," I said, speaking decidedly, but in a voice so low that my words could not be heard distinctly by others in the room "you must take better care of that boy Bill, or you will get into trouble." "How so, doctor? I am not aware that I ill-treat him," returned the shoemaker, looking up with surprise. "He is not clothed warmly enough for such weather as this."
The stranger has already had as large a portion as any one else; this is well, for it is not right nor reasonable to ill-treat any guest of Telemachus who comes here. I will, however, make him a present on my own account, that he may have something to give to the bath-woman, or to some other of Ulysses' servants."
The captain was at first very quiet, and scarcely spoke to any one; then he grew sulky, and muttered threats and curses against any one who opposed him; and very soon he broke into open violence, and, in conjunction with Mr Grimes with whom he had made up his quarrel, it seemed began to ill-treat the crew as before.
I'm not very fond of you. Now I'll go away, and then I shan't trouble you any more.
