"Do?" exclaimed the mate vehemently, "I would mount the red, and get out the sweeps. An hour's pull will place the schooner on the other side of the reef. A shot from Long Tom will sink the best boat in the service of his Britannic Majesty, and we could be off and away with the land breeze before morning."
"That means, that you take for granted we should have kept our endowments and our churches?" said Canon Dornal. The Dean flushed. "We have been called a nation of shopkeepers," he said vehemently, "but nobody has ever called us a nation of thieves." The Canon was silent.
"Theos, my friend," he said, still laughing "Thou must know the admirable Zabastes, a man of vast importance in his own opinion! Have done with thy wheezing," he continued, vehemently thumping the struggling old gentleman on the back "Here is another one of the minstrel craft thou hatest, hast aught of bitterness in thy barbed tongue wherewith to welcome him as guest to mine abode?"
He then proceeded to give at length the reasons why Soliman would not direct so huge an expedition against "the Religion." Many of the Knights dissented vehemently from his conclusions, but D'Omedes refused to listen to their arguments.

Captain Roffey, Lancashire Fusiliers, tells how he was found wounded, and handed over his revolver to the Germans, whereupon his captor used it to shoot him again, and left him for dead. There is no end to the stories of this kind, and one of the wounded vehemently declared that the "devilry of the Germans cannot be exaggerated."
"Come around here where nobody can see or overhear us," she said. He followed her down the steps to a sheltered rustic seat. "You haven't read it?" she asked. "Read it? No!"
