But Ronsard had to endure a whole parliament of mockery before the day of victory. Of his life, apart from his work in literature, there is little to tell. For a man who lived in France in days when Protestantism and Catholicism were murderously at one another's throats, he had a peculiarly uneventful career. This, too, though he threw himself earnestly into the battle against the heretics.
"I came to the conclusion that Haroun had been murdered by order of Louis Grayle, for the sake of the elixir of life, murdered by Juma the Strangler; and that Grayle himself had been aided in his flight from Aleppo, and tended, through the effects of the life-giving drug thus murderously obtained, by the womanly love of the Arab woman Ayesha. But all trace of the fugitives was lost.
The girl's last "try-on" was to come down to the school fence, and ostentatiously sharpen a table-knife on the wires, while she scowled murderously in the direction of the schoolmistress, who was hanging out her washing. August looked, in her dark, bushy, Maori hair, a thoroughly wild savage.
Though his superior in sheer strength, she was much smaller and lighter than he, and less murderously armed for combat; and she dreaded the raking, eviscerating clutch of his terrible hinder claws.
The frightened sambur closed up, instead of scattering, and the impetus of the buffalo presently spent itself upon the unresisting mass. They edged their way through to the left leaving swathes of gored and trodden sambur in their wake, and went thundering off on another line of retreat, caroming into a herd of aurochs, which fought them off and punished them murderously.

Just as he was about to cross the alley-way a man suddenly lurched out into the light. He was drunk, but not the maudlin, helpless intoxication that seeks and invites sociability. He was murderously drunk, strong, nervous, excited. He barred Bennington's way. "I thought it was you!" he said venomously. Bennington drew back and started to pass around the man. He did not recognize him.
Thus a round and a good old English practical repartee, worthy a place in England's book of her historical popular jests; conceived ingeniously, no bit murderously, even humanely, if Englishmen are to be allowed indulgence of a jolly hit back for an injury more a feint than a real stroke gave the miserly veteran his final quake and cut Chillon's knot.
She wrenched herself from the strong fingers and flung back to the squatter girl. "I want to know if my husband is the father " Frederick had hold of her once more. The anger in his white face was terrible to see. "If you speak to her again," he said murderously, "I'll I'll " "I suppose you'll kill me," shrilled his wife. "Well, go ahead!

There they had begun and had waged the eternal cat-and-dog feud, of the ages. Ancestry now told Lad that there is perhaps no more murderously dangerous foe than an angry wildcat.
