Pulitzer makes no attempt at dramatizing his persons. There is no ambitious Mrs. Potiphar with a longing for fashionable New York worlds to conquer, yet with a secret heartache for the love of her country girlhood; no good, kind, sordid Potiphar bewildered and bedevilled by the surroundings she creates for him; no soft Rev.
Hawkshaw bustled out and tried to lay her hand on a man. Failing to find the growth spontaneous, she returned and begged the old gentleman to wait a few moments and the trunk would be sent up. 'Parcel o' women! was his reply. 'Regularly bedevilled. Gets worse and worse. I 'll carry it up myself. With a wheezy effort he persuaded the trunk to stand on one end, and then looked at it.
In all this there was no thought of Robert Herrick. He had complied with the ebb-tide in man's affairs, and the tide had carried him away; he heard already the roaring of the maelstrom that must hurry him under. And in his bedevilled and dishonoured soul there was no thought of self. For how long he walked silent by his companion Herrick had no guess.
Look which way he would, the bedevilled old rascal could find no loophole for escape. "You win, Cardigan," he muttered desperately as he sat in his office after Shirley had left him. "You've had more than a shade in every round thus far, and at the finish you've landed a clean knockout.

Then in another place, where the crown of the work once reared itself aloft over the hill, the heaps of mud are all blurred and pounded together, so that there is no design, no trace, no visible plan of any fortress, only a mess of mud bedevilled and bewildered. All this mess of heaps and hillocks is strung and filthied over with broken bodies and ruined gear.
The more I thought on my good intentions, the lampoons which so much affected my delicacy, good nature, tenderness I forgot myself I spoke rapid, violent beneficence fire tenderness alas! I melted into tears! "Pish! pish!" said Hilaro Frosticos. Now, indeed, was my government lampooned, satirised, carribonadoed, bepickled, and bedevilled.
He looked at it in a dull, mechanical way, and nodded his head with compressed lips. Then he scanned the portier, and glanced round once more at the bedevilled architecture. "Well," said he, at last, "there's a mistake somewhere. Unless there are two Kaiserin Elisabeths . Davis, ask him if there are two Kaiserin Elisabeths."
"Beazeley children?" I repeated wonderingly. "Yes; them two little ones, the size of Mirandy; they're Beazeley's." "Who is Beazeley, and what are his children doing here?" "Beazeley up and died at the mill, and she bedevilled her father to let her take his two young 'uns here." "You don't mean to say that with her other work she's taking care of other people's children too?"
