Hillcrest's ideas of decency had been deeply outraged; its courts of justice had been kept busy by men, who, unable to resist temptation after restraint had at last been removed, carried lawlessness to an unprecedented excess. The river, too, with the depravity of inanimate things, had taken that occasion to leap all bounds and run wild where never before it had ventured.
On the very day when the ill-omened marriage took place, another victim of cruelty had interposed as vainly as vainly as Serjeant Rowland himself interposed in Court to prevent this case being made known and with piteous outcries, in the name of outraged neglected woman, of castaway children pleading in vain for bread, had besought the bride to pause, and the bridegroom to look upon the wretched beings who owed him life.
Thousands of letters began to pour into the office of the Governor of Virginia, threatening, imploring, pleading for his life.

They beat, they outraged, they murdered in a way and on a scale of which it is difficult for any white man to speak with moderation.

The moment we were safe back 'in bounds' he came freely and happily to our side once more. I have often wondered, since I left Constantinople, how long Jack lived, and how he died."
"You'll have to go back and get some gasoline, Hutchins." "What made you start out without looking?" "And send the vandals away. If they wait until I arrive, I'll be likely to do them some harm. I have never been so outraged." "Let me go for gasoline in the canoe," said Mr. McDonald. He leaned over the thwart and addressed Hutchins. "You're worn out," he said.
