"Certainly I won't mind, if you'll produce Miss Sylvia. She's slipperier than a drop of quicksilver." Edna stiffened slightly. "Perhaps she has gone to sleep, too." "Well, you haven't, anyway. Come! I hate those carpenters with a virulence that grows worse every hour." The young hostess laughed. "I've only to stay with them a little while longer. Come with me.
"And that's why you told me Ted had got the toothache, and tried to get me off to the chemist's, I s'pose," retorted his wife, with virulence. "Do you think I'm a fool? How dare you ask a young woman on this barge? How dare you?" "I didn't ask her," said her husband. "I s'pose she came without being asked," sneered his wife, turning her regards to the passenger; "she looks the sort that might.
Between these there is no antagonism. The sum of life experiences consists solely in the adjustments required to enable the sentient organism man or beast to live. How readily a "throw-back" to earlier and cruder life may be brought about under favorable conditions, is shown by the methods and virulence of combat during the vicious massacre in the war just ended.
Much of this virulence sprang, no doubt, from a real contempt of the selfishness and corruption which disgraced the politics of the time, but it was far from being wholly due to this. In selfishness and corruption indeed the statesmen of the Georgian era were no worse than their predecessors; while in fidelity to principles and a desire for the public good they stood immeasurably above them.

"He exclaimed with virulence against Uncles and Aunts; Accused the laws of England for allowing them to Possess their Estates when wanted by their Nephews or Neices, and wished HE were in the House of Commons, that he might reform the Legislature, and rectify all its abuses." "Oh! the sweet Man! What a spirit he has!" said I.
The reason alleged for this measure was that political pamphlets had so increased in number and virulence that the queen had called the attention of Parliament to them, and had recommended it to find a remedy equal to the mischief, and, in one of her messages, had complained that 'by seditious papers and factious rumors, designing men have been able to sink credit, and that the innocent have to suffer. An act was accordingly passed by which every printer was obliged to lodge one copy of each number of his paper, within six days of its publication, with a collector appointed for the purpose, and at the same time to state the number of sheets, etc., under a penalty of £20 for default.
It was that which now haunted Pierre's reverie. The whole ancient, envenomed sore spread out before his mind's eye, with its poison and virulence. Parliamentary rottenness had slowly increased till it had begun to attack society itself.
He took her to the theatre it was before the motion picture had attained its present-day virulence. She enjoyed it. So did he.

Though he had come to Chicago from Michigan almost a year before, he knew few people.
