"Then he asked his way civilly enough, and I told him where the gate of the empty house was. He went away followed by threats and curses and revilings from our man. I went down to see if I could make out any cause for his anger, since he is usually such a well-behaved man, and except his violent fits nothing of the kind had ever occurred.
Meanwhile, Casanova, vexed at having shown himself where he had not expected any one, and little guessing how excellently this was to serve his ends, left the window and went to sit beside the angry friar, who greeted him with fresh revilings. A sound of steps and a rattle of keys stemmed Balbi's reproaches in full flow. The lock groaned. "Not a word," said Casanova to the monk, "but follow me."
But we blocked him off, and he saw that he was mistaken about going he couldn't do it.

No words could be more vile and slanderous than those of Mr. Southey.
"Ah, mercy of God how the ship rolls!" she moaned feebly and then burst forth into cursings and passionate revilings of ship and wind and sea until these futile ravings were hushed for lack of breath; anon she fell to sighing and with many wistful looks, but finding me all unheeding, fell foul of me therefore: "Ha, scowl, beast scowl this becomes thy surly visage. I shall not know thee else!
Basil Montagu to Charles Sumner, "to think much more highly of your country from whom we have hitherto seen no such men." There is nothing to be gained in raking over at this day the ashes of dead controversies and revilings. The new commentators on our habits and customs have taken up a new line of remark, and the new prophets of woe foresee an entirely new class of calamities.
But take care, fair one; take care, O thou most exalted of female minds, and loveliest of persons, how thou debasest thyself by encouraging such a competition as thy sordid relations have set on foot in mere malice to me! Thou wilt say I rave. And so I do: Perdition catch my soul, but I do love her. Else, could I hear the perpetual revilings of her implacable family?
When they compared notes, which they soon did, it was discovered that, on his side, he had nothing but the pay of a subaltern, and on hers, that she had not one shilling. Your father stormed, and called his wife an impostor; she recriminated, and the second morning after the marriage was passed in tears on her side, and oaths, curses, and revilings on his.
Yielding to this rising tumult, the men drew back a little, signifying to the females that they left the captive, for a time, in their hands, it being a common practice on such occasions for the women to endeavor to throw the victim into a rage by their taunts and revilings, and then to turn him suddenly over to the men in a state of mind that was little favorable to resisting the agony of bodily suffering.
