"The world will some day grope its way into some kind of an understanding of its extraordinary men. Now they suffer terribly. In success or in such failures as has come to this imaginative, strangely perverted Irishman their lot is pitiful. It is only the common, the plain, unthinking man who slides peacefully through this troubled world." At the house Jane McPherson sat waiting for her boy.
"Boy, you're a fool!" "Thank 'ee, sir," said Willie. This reply went a long way in Mr Auberly's mind to prove the truth of his assertion. "Answer me, boy," said Mr Auberly with an impressive look and tone; "were you sent here by a fireman?" "Yes, sir," replied Willie. "What is his name?" "Same as mine, sir Willders."

Over the pest-stricken regions of East London, sweltering in sunshine which served only to reveal the intimacies of abomination; across miles of a city of the damned, such as thought never conceived before this age of ours; above streets swarming with a nameless populace, cruelly exposed by the unwonted light of heaven; stopping at stations which it crushes the heart to think should be the destination of any mortal; the train made its way at length beyond the outmost limits of dread, and entered upon a land of level meadows, of hedges and trees, of crops and cattle.
"I had a wire from her that she expected to be here and I hoped to see her at the station to-morrow on her way to Lenox." "She's stopping with Miss Landis.

There's a certain hint of defiance about it.
Crockett was already far advanced on the way. Sam Houston was known to be kindling the fire on the spot; "and I suppose you know, father," said Jack, sinking his voice to a whisper, "that we have still more powerful backers." "General Gaines?"
