"Can I be so lucky as to find what everybody is seeking for?" The voice became more and more indistinct; a tumultuous movement shook the partition. The victim resisted as much as a woman could resist four men. "Pardon, gentlemen par " murmured the voice, which could now only be heard in inarticulate sounds.
But she was evidently unused to analyzing her aesthetic emotions, and the tumultuous rush of the drama seemed to have left her in a state of panting wonder, as though it had been a storm or some other natural cataclysm. She had no literary or historic associations to which to attach her impressions: her education had evidently not comprised a course in Greek literature.
Silent revolts of her own too, scattered along the course of her youth, revolts dumb, yet violent; longings for an "ampler ether" for the great tumultuous clash of thought and doubt, of faith and denial, in a living and daring world.
It was a tumultuous, clamorous, but not altogether undisciplined array; for Coniers was a leader of singular practice in reducing men into the machinery of war, and where his skill might have failed, the prodigious influence and energy of Robin of Redesdale ruled the passions and united the discordant elements. This last was, indeed, in much worthy the respect in which Warwick held his name.

In the debate which took place in the Irish House of Commons, upon the Bill for preventing tumultuous risings and assemblies, on the 31st of January, 1787, the Attorney-General submitted to the House the following narrative of facts. "The commencement," said he, "was in one or two parishes in the county of Kerry; and they proceeded thus.
Every thought and every effort must be devoted to the single purpose of regaining it. As yet I did not despair. Until I had opened and ransacked every part of the cabinet in vain, I did not admit the belief that I had lost it. Even then this persuasion was tumultuous and fluctuating.
