Shall the poor man's wrongs, and his little ones' cry for bread, and the widows' vain appeal for indulgence in necessity, and the debtor's useless hope for time more time and the master's misused bounty, and the murmuring dependants' ever-extorted dues must the frauds, falsehoods, meannesses, and hardnesses of half a century long, concentrate in that small crock must these plead still for bloody judgments from on high against all who touch that gold?
A few glazed windows still remained unbroken; the remainder had been filled with blue paper such as comes wrapped about a sugar cone, so that the misused house seemed to be watching us out of patched and battered eyes. It was evident, too, that a fire had been wantonly set at the northeast angle of the house, where sill and siding were deeply charred from baseboard to eaves.
The most dramatic moment at Balmoral if for once the word so hackneyed and misused by journalists may be given its true signification the most dramatic moment was when the Ulster leader and the leader of the whole Unionist Party each grasped the other's hand in view of the assembled multitude, as though formally ratifying a compact made thus publicly on the eve of battle.

"But you were always a good man of business, Jacob," faultered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself. "Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business.

But I see how it is, you have shamefully misused your opportunities; you are like one who, sent into the field to labour, passes his time in flinging stones at the birds of heaven. 'I would scorn to fling a stone at a bird, father.

He liked the girl the better, in an amicable fashion, now that his nerves had got free of the transient spell of her kettle tone the hardly varied one note of a heart boiling with sisterly devotion to a misused stranger of her sex; and, after the way of his race, imagination sprang up in him, at the heels of the quieted senses, releasing him from the personal and physical to grasp the general situation and place the protagonist foremost.
Then there is the question of old-age pensions, a question that has been much misused and mishandled in the past.

He has told us that our most cherish'd ideas of political liberty, with their kindred corollaries, are mere illusions, and that the progress which has seem'd to go along with them is a progress towards anarchy and social dissolution. If he was wrong, he has misused his powers.
