Birds were awake and a breeze rustled in the branches; and Captain Hahn was strongly moved to speech. "System," he said explosively. "All war all life comes down to system. You get your civil labor by system; you keep it by system. Now, that little arrest." It was as maddening as the noise of a mouse in a wainscot.

Why, I did not then understand. But I was angry enough. "Come, let's have it!" said he. They drew their chairs closer, some wearing that smile of superiority which to us is the Englishman's most maddening trait.
If your countrymen have murdered their benefactors, I tell you that they are miserable worthless wretches; and the Spaniards will be justified in sweeping them from the face of the earth." As I gave utterance to these exclamations, I felt my spirit maddening within me. I cared not what I said; I felt no fear for the consequences.
Nature scattered her gifts wildly and cruelly: cruelly, because she cared not into what cramped nooks and crannies she poured her maddening explosive: cruelly, because she hurled this fire from heaven with indiscriminate hand, to set alight one dared not guess how many chained martyrs at their stakes.

The traveler clenched his fists. This delay and waste of priceless time was maddening him. "Gents," he called desperately, "I got to get to Martindale today. It's more than life or death to me. Where's Doone's hoss?" "Right across the road," said the old man who had spoken first. "Over yonder in the corral the bay."
Close to his face drew hers, and for a space of time, the length of which he could never afterward accurately measure, he forgot everything but the maddening expression in her face. Her eyelids were closed, and her breath came hot upon his lips. "I want ye to kiss me like ye did that night kiss me please please " In her low voice was illimitable strength and passion.
A tattered, ragged, much-soiled book it was, with big letters at the beginning, simple arrangements of letters in the middle, and maddening compounds of them towards the end.
I felt, since thoughts have such power to terrorize me, how can I ever get away from them? "Oh, how I have struggled tried to say it was not true that I was just as sane as other people! And this made my thirst for beauty all the more maddening, and my melancholy all the more complete!
