Girty followed him with a bitter and malevolent glance.
It is astonishing how unfeeling even ordinary good-natured boys can be at times. Chawner sat at his desk with raised shoulders, rubbing his hands, and grinning like some malevolent ape: "I told you, Dickie, you know," he murmured, "that it was better not to cross me." And still the Doctor lingered. Some kindly suggested that he was "waxing the cane."
Then, roughly I grasped her, for the need was urgent and dragged her out on to the floor beside me. With her wet garments clinging to her limbs, she fell prostrate on the stones.

In a few minutes the old squaw passed out on an errand and then in again, eying the Inspector as she passed with malevolent hate. Again she passed out, this time bowed down under a load of blankets and articles of Indian household furniture, and returned no more.

They are dwarfs, and correspond to the Scottish conception of kelpies or fairies. They are wicked and malevolent beings, and are never credited with a good or generous action.
