Sharp, as I write it, the distinction smote me. I might have been divided by an electrical shot into two halves, with such an equal force was I drawn this way and that, pointing nowhither. To strangle the thought of either one of them was like the pang of death; yet it did not strike me that I loved the two: they were apart in my mind, actually as if I had been divided.
I'll be thinking I'm going just to strangle him." He struck out his bony claws towards the shrinking Doggie; but stout arms closed round him and a horny hand was clamped over his mouth, and they got him through the bar and the back parlour into the yard, where they pumped water on his head.
"I am so awfully ignorant, you know; I know nothing of geography, and scarcely anything about the religions of savage countries. Are you a Thug?" "Oh, Austin!" breathed Aunt Charlotte, faintly. "I always do make such mistakes," continued Austin, with his most engaging air; "I'm so sorry, please forgive me if I'm stupid. I forgot, of course Thugs don't burn people alive, they only strangle them.
"Ain't goin' to git away nohow!" exclaimed the countryman, and took hold of the swindler's throat. "Le let go!" came back in a gasp. "Don't don't strangle me!" When a policeman arrived the swindler was thoroughly cowed and he turned reproachfully to Josiah Bean. "This isn't fair," he said. "It was all a joke. I haven't got your money." "Yes, you have." "He is right, Mr. Bean," put in Joe.
Are to wait for the stroke of five in Hochkirch steeple; and there and then to begin business, there first; but, on success THERE, the whole 90,000 everywhere, and to draw the strings on Friedrich, and bag and strangle his astonished people and him. The difficulty has been to keep it perfectly secret from so vigilant a man as Friedrich: but Daun has completely succeeded.
The lasso catch him around the neck; he is obliged to remain. Sometime he is strangle. Sometime he is dead, but the soul is save! You believe not, Pancho? I see you wrinkle the brow you flash the eye; you like it not? Believe me, I like it not, neither, but it is so!" He shrugged his shoulders, threw away his half smoked cigarette, and went on.
"I will again humbly observe to you, M. Faringhea, that I have no time to give you a course of criminal jurisprudence; but, believe me, you had better resist the temptation to strangle or poison any one. One word more: will you deliver up to me the letters of M. Van Dael, or not?"
Esthetic forces now draw people to non-ritualistic churches that once came for prayer and preaching. The preacher must secularise his sermon or talk to vacant pews. Historic Christianity has been destroyed by Criticism. A thousand wild Isms nourish in the twilight of this eclipse of Faith, while Materialism and the Pursuit of Pleasure strangle out spiritual hopes."
I mean to strangle, and mangle, and bury it, if possible. I meant, not that I should always love Dr. Grey, but that I should never be able to regard any one else as I once loved him. I can not stay here, seeing him daily trample my alabaster and ointment under his feet. I can not endure the humiliation that has for some days past made this house more intolerable than I may one day find Phlegethon.
At first I had only two hands; but before I had left home I was already employing fifteen, and running night and day; and the atmospheric result was getting so pronounced that the king went sort of fainting and gasping around and said he did not believe he could stand it much longer, and Sir Launcelot got so that he did hardly anything but walk up and down the roof and swear, although I told him it was worse up there than anywhere else, but he said he wanted plenty of air; and he was always complaining that a palace was no place for a soap factory anyway, and said if a man was to start one in his house he would be damned if he wouldn't strangle him.
